"i had been so upset with myself and couldn&#039;t even look in the mirror without total let down after gaining a massive amount of weight within the last 2 years. i am 5&#039;9&quot; and as of 4 days ago i weighed in at 251. i begin phentermine on tuesday and as of today (saturday, 6/14/2014) i weigh 240 pounds! in 4 days i&#039;ve dropped 11 pounds. i take 30 mg in the morning and i do feel jittery, nauseous and clammy here and there but i realize if i eat a few peanuts, peanut butter, apple slices..etc i feel much better. the pill definitely curbs my appetite the whole day and i force myself to eat and when i do it&#039;s very light. by dinner i am hungry and do eat what i want but my portions are smaller and smarter. i also have cut soda and sugary drinks."
