"started taking adipex march 28, 2012 not on sundays and had the flu for two days which i didn&#039;t take the pills either. i am a 6 ft 2 in male who starting weight was 289lbs on 3/28/2012. today is now 4/23/2012 and my weight is now 274.6 lbs! i do exercise but i could not lose any weight. i am very pleased with my loss and i simply started tracking the things i eat and making better choices. you can do it just drink plenty of water and or juices and you will be fine. good luck"
