Phentermine did help for me I took it for 2 weeks and lost 11lbs. It gave me more energy and curved my appetite. I stopped taking it to see if I could continue on my own and now I lost 30lbs.

You must take a better b12 than I do (mine is via script from the pharmacy) -- I've been on B12 shots for over 4 yrs and while I've lost weight, it's not due to the b12.

Yes it works. I am using the 37.5 phentermine, weekly B12 cocktails at a local weight loss clinic. I went from 227 to 187.5 in 3 months. I am following a high protien low carb diet. My job does not allow me to work out constantly but it has forced me to change my eating habits.

The B12's help flush the fat and toxins out of your system. I feel better with the B12's and I notice a big difference in my mood!!!!

What I am noticing moreso though is I've lost inches. I have went from an 18 womens to a 13 in juniors. My bra was a 44DD to a 40C.

I'd say  your weight loss is due more to your diet/exercise change than to the B12/phentermine....... as I said before, I take weekly B12 shots and they do nothing for weight loss.  The phentermine may help control your cravings/food intake, but how long can you take that, and what will happen when you stop it?

I started taking phentermine 35 mg B12 lipotropic shots once a week I have been on the program for two weeks this is my third week I go to the doctors to weight in on Fridays.  The first week I lost 8 pounds the second week I lost 5 pounds, I hope I lose another 5 on Friday.  I need to lose about 40 pounds in total.  I have cut out all junk food and I could not do that on my own before the program, I constantly crave chocolate and chips and hard candy. Although I workout 3 to five days a week I was just maintaining my weight because I was consuming junk which was using up most of my calories.  Now since I have been on the program I don't have a desire to eat any junk food at all I can look at it people can eat it around me and I still don't want eat.  I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables lean meats, brown rice, brown pasta, wheat bread.  Special K products are good if you need a snack I brought those and don't even want to eat them.  I do exercise at on a elliptical machine 3 days a week for 20 minutes and 2 days I lift free weights doing lunges and squats and are curls for about 10 to 15 minutes.  I do all my exercise at home on my own stuff that I made up for myself.  Everything does not work for everybody but I do believe this program will work but you have to still have to eat healthy.

I've been taking monthly B12 injections for about 2 years, and 37.5 mg phentermine daily for about a month, and I haven't lost any weight at all.  The four and a half pounds that I've lost, I attribute to the boot camp that joined two weeks ago.

i was on the Phentermine pills, lost 15lbs on it, but it wasn't something i took consistantly though, like i skipped a day or so in a week. lost the rest on my own since i was only given a one month perscription and decided to stop since my doc said it's something you can become addicted to.

Vitamin B12 is not a diet aid.  I can vouch for that, as I take shots weekly to treat pernicious anemia.  Phentermine should only be taken under close doctor supervision.
