"i wasn&#039;t technically &quot;overweight&quot; in most books, but was about 30 lbs more than i was a couple of years ago.  at age 37, i was 5&#039;8&quot; and hovering around 200 lbs.  i was not happy at all...my clothes weren&#039;t fitting, and i wasn&#039;t getting results at the gym.  couple that with my bad habit of meeting buddies for happy hour almost daily, and boom- there i was.



i told my doctor about this, and he put me on 37.5mg phentermine.  i couldn&#039;t tell a difference at first, but slowly i noticed i didn&#039;t crave that cheeseburger, i didn&#039;t binge eat out of boredom...in fact, i didn&#039;t even think about it.  i&#039;ve been taking the medicine daily for about 2 months, and have gone from 200 lbs to 181.  diet and exercise are key...great medicine!"
