"began adipex on 7/7/16, feeling great about it and a little nervous at the same time. i started out at 233 lbs and i am 5&#039;5&quot; so i was pretty chunky.. a 38.77 on the bmi chart to be exact... well, i changed the way i ate, i only ate salads, meats, nuts and slim jims for the first week and i lost 12 pounds in 7 days. i cut out all sugary drinks, haven&#039;t touched a drink with sugar in it since the 6th of july, so very proud of myself! well, to cut this short, i now weigh 183 lbs and i&#039;m still losing even though i&#039;m not on this pill anymore. just stick to your diet &amp; you&#039;ll be good to go! it&#039;s hard at first, but i promise you get used to it fast &amp; it just becomes natural!! good luck!"
