My son who is 19 is on Phen again. He was 16 the first time the doctor put him on it and he did great losing 20 pounds but he needed to lose around 60. The first time he would not listen about eating healthy. Now 3 years later he is trying again but this time he is eating healthy.
He has lost 25 pounds in 42 days. Though it has slowed to about 3 pounds a week now he is still very happy to see it going. He is 6'4" and 287 so buying clothes for him were extremely hard. Now he is able to go into a store and buy off the rack without me having to alter the clothes to fit him.
I still haven't been able to get him to exercise. He says his job gives him enough work and soon he will be attending college as well. So the walking to classes will help.
If you do decide to get the pills for her try starting with the 15 mg. since it might just be enough for the boost she needs. I wouldn't get it for any longer then 3 months; she needs to learn she is doing this and not the pill. I would defiantly teach her about eating right and water, water, water. She is at a great age to learn good habits NOW, like healthy eating. My son has finally learned to leave the soda alone, and that alone cut out over 2000 calories a week.
Good luck to both of you.
