"i started phentermine on may 13th 2011 and today is may 23rd and i have already lost 12 pounds. i gained so much weight after graduating high school and going to college, going from a small 117lbs to 135lbs in less than a year and then at 22 i became pregnant with my son and gained around 40 lbs.  i&#039;m barely 5&#039;1 and weighing 180lbs was just not cutting it. i tried dieting but it was hard when i live with a 6&#039;5 290lb man who eats like a horse. this pill has given me the energy and confidence i need. i have started going to the gym and eating healthier and drinking more water and less soda. i get terrible dry mouth and headaches though, but i&#039;ll deal with it to be back in a size 6 any day."
