"i started out weighing 197lbs.  i&#039;ve fluctuated from 180-195 for the last 5 years.  it&#039;s been awful.  i&#039;m 38 so shedding pounds is extremely difficult.  i finally got a prescription for phentermine and i&#039;m down 8 lbs in just 1 week with healthy eating.  no counting calories.  just tons of veggies, lean turkey burger patties, vega protein shakes and lots of water.  my goal is 130lbs since i&#039;m only 5&#039;2&quot;.  i did decide to take a whole pill yesterday and it gave me a massive headache.  won&#039;t be doing that again."
