Hi Melmin, That's great that you lost 45lbs, how long did that take and did you feel that Phen helped? I know all to well about being depressed, and having "friends" that are dips.

One thing that really helps me is to exercise. It's a cure for me because it makes me feel sooo good when I'm done, the feeling of accomplishment and of course helping with weight loss. Please just try to stay focused on yourself, everything else will fall into place.
