phentermine for Obesity: I'm not the type that really trusts in what people says about how easy losing weight but one day my sister was telling me about this diet pill how good it really worked so I tried. I'm 47 yrs old and always been heavy set. I weighed in at 224lbs Jan 7,2013 and on Jan 15,2013 I was down to 215lbs. I lost nine pounds, I have more energy, I used to be a heavy soda drinker couldn't do without it and know I haven't had any for two weeks, food don't look interesting to me anymore. I have to make myself eat, I can exercise now and I feel great. I hope to keep it of and my goal is to lose 100 pounds by fall.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I started Adipex two days ago. I'm 21 years old 5' tall and weigh 158lbs. According to my BMI and my doctors visit I am at the breaking point of obesity. I have had many struggles in the past with getting back to my goal weight of 105-110 and decided to give Adipex a shot. Obesity runs in my family and I hope to stop the cycle. I haven't had any side effects so far except for occasional dry mouth so I just drink water which is good anyway. I have had a great experience so far with increased energy and a suppressed appetite. I want to keep up with at least exercising for 30min a day and eating better and hopefully I will see results at the end of month one. I want to be at my goal weight which is a loss of about 50lbs in around 8 months. Wish me luck!

phentermine for Weight Loss: I have been on phentermine 37.5 mg for a week exactly today along with taking furosemide which helps in water reduction. The first day I took it I felt a little wired, jittery but it went away. Since then I have been fine. No insomnia at all. I take both pills in the morning (latest is 11am if I am off for the day). I did notice that not all my hunger was completely subsided. I would get hungry here and there. I stick to a 1200 cal diet and exercise. I've lost 10lbs in this first week. I also drank on new years eve and was fine!

phentermine for Weight Loss: This is my 2nd follow up on this. I started taking the medication Dec 1st of 2011. When I first started this scared (because of what you hear about diet pills). The first week I will say I was in a dream like state until it leveled out. Then everything became easy. Choosing what I ate wanting to do more to lose weight. Dec 1st I weighted 290 and dropped the first 50 in Two Months. Well 1 year 1 month later I am proudly at 170... THATS 120 Pounds. And keeping it off. During this I was on the pill for two terms of 3 months. You can keep it off you just have to keep what your learned on the pill off the pill as well. Hope this Helps. It was a blessing to me. I had been overweight my whole life.

phentermine for Weight Loss: I've been using phentermine for 3 weeks and I've lost 13 pounds with no exercise that being said I don't just sit around all day either. And I have not changed what I eat at all but it just makes me eat so much less and not be hungry. Also listen to the label when it says eat afterwards. Days when I took my pill on a empty stomach I felt tired and sluggish all day. But once my stomach shrunk and I've gotten used to my new eating habit I have no problems other then the dry mouth gives me bad breath so I've been brushing like three times a day. Also I've been told that when you stop if you are not on a good diet and exercise schedule you will gain it all back.. Just something to keep in mind...overall great product!

phentermine for Weight Loss: I was almost overweight and it was time for me to lose weight. I tried going to the gym but I could never keep up with it. I tried dieting but I would starve to death and end up miserable. Then I decided to try this pill. The first two days, I had a little headache but it was all good from there. I used it for 1 month and lost about 22lbs. I continued to lose weight even after stopping. It has been 4 months since I stopped taking it and I have no gained back the weight. I definitely recommend this pill to anyone who is tired of not getting results. I have lost a total of 30lbs. This definitely changed my eating habits. I eat way healthier now and I feel great! Good luck to all of you!

phentermine for Weight Loss: I talked to my Dr about my struggle of dieting and exercising alone not helping me lose a pound! So he prescribed me a month and a half only 45 pills of Phentermine 37.5 the first day I was so dumb to not read the label but only the papers from the pharmacy that said to take one in the morning and another later that day so I took 2 that day and I did NoT sleep that whole day night till the very next night at around 3am and woke up @ 7 couldn't go back to sleep. The 2nd day I did take only 1 and I'm good now! Lost 5lbs the first 5days.

phentermine for Weight Loss: I started out at 233 pounds when I started to take phentermine. I lost a lot of weight over a course of the first 5 months then it tapered off for the 6th month. Then I took a month off and started to take it again for a second series. Over the two series I lost 100 pounds. I have gained 30 pounds back over the past 6 months and I am now back on phentermine to get the weight back off. I love the doctor that I see for weight loss because he makes it clear that it is not just taking a pill, it's a whole life style change from eating to exercising and triggers that make you eat things that are not healthy for you. This is my first day back on phentermine.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: It would be nice if the public was warned of how dangerous it is to have any surgery while taking this medication! I was scheduled to have knee surgery, and forgot to list this as a medicine until I was telling the pre-op nurse my meds. She then went postal on me! Informing me that if I wasn't off of it for 2 weeks before surgery, I could possibly die from high blood pressure. What an eye opener!

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: This is a very good diet pill. I have been able to lose 15 pounds fairly easily combining Adipex with the Atkins diet. I don't have cravings, my appetite is normal and doesn't drive me crazy all day. I've been taking Adipex for about 8 months now and have no side effects whatsoever. I did try the generic brand which was made by a different company and I did have the side effect of not being able to sleep. So I stick with the name brand.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Obesity: I started dieting on my own in late June of 2012. When I started I weighed about 337lbs. On my own using Visalia shakes I lost about 20lbs. In August of 2012 I started taking Adipex-P 37.5mg. As of today Nov 9, 2012, I am down to 271#. Adipex is great for giving you an advantage and I am really happy with it, but I have made and continue to make better food choices. I cut out all sodas, even diet. I try to eat healthy small meals. I still eat carbs, but I try to limit them. Eventually I plan on eliminating sugar as well. I am never going back to where I was and I plan on exercising and pushing myself for at least another 100-120lbs!

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: Adipex is fantastic. Although I haven't really felt "energized" I'm totally eating A LOT less. I don't have that hungry feeling and it really helps me to make better choices, as I'm not always famished. In 6 weeks, I've lost over 20 lbs, which is something I never thought was possible. I'm really not even worried about coming off of it, as I think I've made a total lifestyle change. I'm never going back to being that fat person again! I've had virtually no side effects, expect I do get headaches. Honestly, I don't think its the pill though, but the fact that I'm not eating a whole lot and my blood sugar is probably lower than normal. I highly recommend this medicine.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: My husband and I were on Adipex for 3 months before I got pregnant with our son. I had to quit taking it of course. However, our first month I lost 18lbs and my husband lost 29! In the 3 months we were on it we lost a total of 105lbs! It is definetly the best diet pill ever. The only thing I didn't like was that my mouth was always dry. I couldn't go anywhere without a bottle of water in my hand.

phentermine for Weight Loss: I weighed 270lbs April of this year and now here in October I weigh 195lbs and the only exercise I do is running after my children and working. I really should workout but I am so tired after working and my kids. I want to be at 150lbs by next April so it will be over 100lbs lost in one year. I do get crappy and irritable especially if I don't take it. But I am grateful for the change it has helped me make.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I have been on it for 4 months now and I lost 44 lbs so far. It makes you eat smaller portions if you try to eat more your stomach will hurt. I'm sweaty and dry mouth all the time which makes me drink more water. I still eat what I want but I try and stay away from soda and sweats much as possible.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Obesity: I have tried all the fad diets to no avail. I've tried over the counter weight loss pills and nothing has worked since stacker 3 original formula was banned. I was told I would only get Adipex for 3 months. My third check up is tomorrow and I've lost 50lbs so far. The pill is starting to feel like it's losing it's effectiveness. Tomorrow I am going to start a 10 day break in hopes that when I start back up it will be as effective as the first month. I've got another 40 to go, so hopefully it works. It's been great, though. 50 lbs in 2 months when nothing else helped before is very impressive. It's nice hearing all the compliments on the weight loss too.

Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: I started taking this in April 2012. I weighed 192.5. It is now October 2012 and I am down to 143!! I take it before breakfast and exercise 2-3 times a week sometimes more, depending on how I feel. The first day is the only time I got jittery at all. No other problems except for dry mouth. I keep a low carb diet with the occasional cheat. But I feel great and never thought I would be down this much weight this soon.

phentermine for Weight Loss: I dropped 35 pounds on this medication in 6 months without exercising. I also took up smoking cigarettes and heavy drinking to counteract the jitters that can leave you unable to sleep. (Not a good combination for your body.) You have to literally force yourself to eat. Your body will build up a tolerance to it, even at increased dosages, and eventually you will have to get off of it. So if you have not established a healthy change of lifestyle (which was my unattained goal to begin with) you will gain the weight back, which I did. I also have suspected liver damage from combining phentermine with Aleve and alcohol. Side effects: heavy armpit sweating and mental fog.
phentermine for Weight Loss: Hi everyone I wanted to share my experience with the phentermine pill. I love it! 09/29/12 weighed 200lbs now 10/02/12 I weigh 196lbs! Almost unbelievable I was a strong believer that this was a scam that you could not lose 10 lbs in a week but I think that if you try everything is possible, take me as an example. Continuing the pill until I reach my goal 140lbs. Good Luck.
phentermine for Weight Loss: I have been taking this medication for about 6 weeks and have lost 12 pounds, including 5 inches off my hips and 2 inches off my waist. I exercise 5 days a week. It is an intense work out which includes cardio and weights. I do not feel as hungry all of the time like I did before. I drink a gallon of water a day if not more. I have experienced a few side effects like dry mouth, rapid heart rate, some constipation, and headache. I want to continue until I reach my goal and do not want to give up! Seems like in the past I always give up, but not this time. This works really well and highly recommend this. I have 25-30 pounds more to go!
I cut all carbs out of my diet and lost approximately 10 lbs in about 2 weeks. I then started taking phentermine and lost another 26 lbs in 2 months. I exercise daily about an hour and still do not eat carbs. Mostly eat fish, chicken, eggs, fruits and vegetables. I am within 5 lbs of my goal weight now.
Adipex-P (phentermine) for Weight Loss: Before I started Adipex I was 170lbs at 5'6. I lost 5 lbs on my own and got stuck. I went ahead and started Adipex exactly one week ago and I am down to 155lbs. So happy. I have cut out almost all carbs. I only drink water. No sweets at all. One cup of coffee in the morning. After my daughter goes to school I go on almost a 2 1/2 to 3 hour walk. Anyways just thought my experience might help someone out there. Adipex gave me the boost of energy I needed and my eating habits are so so so much better. Side effects were dry mouth so drink plenty of water. Most side effects go away after the first 5 to 7 days.

Fastin (phentermine) for Weight Loss: After suffering from bulimia for many years and not being able to control my binge eating I started taking Fastin. I only take 1 1/2 pills a day (I'm only 115 lbs and not looking for significant weight loss) and that is enough to help me fight my urge to stress eat. In fact when I was taking 2 pills a day I found myself forgetting to eat. I still feel a little jittery after taking them.
phentermine for Weight Loss: I've ben on and off of phentermine for about two years. I've lost 40 pounds before my wedding. I would take it in the morning and eat something light and it was amazing. I would recommend it to anyone. It did have some side effects. I was very jittery and I had a lot of energy which caused me not to sleep. But other than that it was good.
