I would like to first say hello to all. My name is Jonathan, I'm 6-04, and at 21 yrs. old I'm 235 lbs. and dropping. Here's my short story.

At the beginning of 2007 I was the heaviest I have every been in my life. I got on the scale one day early in January 07 and was horrified to see 282 lbs. starring back at me. This really got me depressed. I continued at that weight until July 07.

Finally in July I had finally had enough of being that obese and decided to attempt to do something about it. I challenged myself reliezing that it would only get harder to try to lose weight later in life so i had to do it now.

So, I began exercising everyday. 12.01.07 I began taking phentermine. Since I became serious exercising and taking this pill i have lost 47 lbs. I've gone from a 42 size pants back down to a 36. I feel great/healthy. the best part is I'm able to run 4 miles without stopping!

I am still overweight and continuing my journey. But I thought I'd take a minute to reflect on the past year of challenges I've faced. 47 pounds later and about 20 to go!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
