Comment:
I use this and I also completely overhauled my eating habits. I eat much healthier and I eat smaller portions. I also started working out doing cardio 3 times a week for 1-2 hours each time and I also started weight training 2 times a week. I have been using it for 6 months, and every few weeks I stop taking it for 2-3 weeks. To date I have lost over 50lbs, and I feel great!

I am taking phentermine now for the 2nd time. I first took it when my oldest child was 2 1/2. I had tried all sorts of diets to get the baby weight off with no results before.

I even noticed that the month
