Goodness how do you fit all of that in?! lol I am hoping that this works for me as well as it is you! I get on the treadmill for 30 mins every other day. My doctor said that thats just what I need. I have no other time to do anything else really. I am constantly doing something. lol I took it today for the first time today and I felt a rush! Warm and fuzzy. I was buzzing around my house and then all of a sudden it was like coming off a high and getting really tired. Now at this moment I am feeling back to normal. I have noticed that I am not "picking" at food like I was. I just hope that it stays that way. My doctor also said that I would be on this for 6 months and after that he would get me to a dietitian to make sure my eating habits are up to par so I dont relapse.  

Thanks for replying. I like hearing from everyones points of views.  I will keep you posted!

Hi beautifullychaotic,

I am currently taking phentermine 37.5 mg.  So far for me it's been very effective and has worked GREAT!!!  I have been using it for one month now and have lost 20 pounds so far.  I started at 170 pounds and my goal is to get to 125-130 pounds.

But, it's not just the phentermine that's helping me to lose the weight.  I also eat a low fat and low calorie diet.  I work out 5-6 days per week, which includes one hour of cardio each day and weight training every other day.  I try to drink a lot of water too, but sometimes I don't drink as much as I should.  The diet hasn't been hard to follow because I don't have an appetite at all since I started the phentermine.  I actually have to force myself to eat most of the time.  I could easily go all day w/o eating, especially if I'm busy.  Of course that's not healthy, so I'm constantly reminding myself to eat throughout the day.

I get my phentermine from a local weight loss clinic.  There, they are super supportive and have a wonderful program to assist you in losing the weight and keeping it off.

I wish you much luck and success with your phentermine.  Please let me know how you're doing and if you have any questions.

Take care and God bless!!
