"i started phentermine at the end of january. i started at 222 pounds. i am 5&#039;4&quot; which gives me a bmi category of obese. i was skinny in high school 15 years ago but have had two children and haven&#039;t exercised like i should have. it is april 23rd, and i have lost 33 pounds so far. i have gone from a size 16 pants to a size 9-10. i do have dry mouth but i keep lifesavers with me and that is enough to take care of it for me. i wish everyone good luck who is starting their journey to a better life and better health."
