"this is the 3rd time i&#039;ve been on phentermine. the first time i lost about 40 pounds and that was about 3 years ago. this time i started on 4/28 and started out at 202. i have two children 9 and almost 2. no matter how hard i tried i coul dnt get past 200 after having my 2nd child.  my scale is usually with a couple pounds of the doctors and i weighed myself for the first time since i started and it says 189. my actual goal is about 175/180. i&#039;m 5&#039;8&quot; and in high school i weighed 170/175 i looked healthy and i was happy with myself. i&#039;m afraid if i weighed less than that i would look sick. if my scale is right that&#039;s awesome and i am so close to my goal. i don&#039;t plan on weighing myself again until june i will update then."
