"i am a 38-year-old mother of 2 and weighed 241 pounds and started using phentermine on august 12. i was extremely unhappy with my appearance and my health.  i had high blood pressure and always felt tired.  i see my doctor every month and can&#039;t wait to be weighed in.  today i weigh 194 lbs - and plan to continue to lose another 35 or so at least.  my blood pressure has dropped to normal levels and i&#039;ve begun a regular exercise program.  i&#039;ve had to buy all new clothes and i even started to exercise with the dream of fitting into a bikini by summer 2009.  my family is amazed and i receive comments every day about how great i look now.  i went from a 20w to my current size 14.  size 8 here i come!"
