Phentermine Success Stories

Amanda's Success Story

"When I became pregnant in July 2004, I weighed 150 pounds. I was on the lifetime maintenance plan of the Atkins diet. I had lost 40 pounds by doing this diet and had maintained my weight for 2 years. Well as my cravings increased and I felt the need for more fruit, I stopped Atkins, cold turkey. I gained a total of 84 pounds during my pregnancy. YES, 84 pounds.

I had high blood pressure during my pregnancy and literally swelled like a balloon. After I lost some of the water weight, I decided it was time to lose ALL of my pregnancy weight. My weight loss was primarily for my son but I also wanted to lose it for me and my husband.

I managed to lose 50 pounds on my own. After that I was stuck and decided to ask my doctor for help. He prescribed phentermine to me. I am now in the weaning process, taking 1-37.5 every other day. I will be doing this for at least another month and then I am not sure of the doctor's plan from there.

Phentermine was a godsend to me. It allowed me the energy to exercise and gave me a wonderful amount of self control. I have learned to eat healthy again instead of doing just a low carb diet. I now eat fruit and grains. I consider nothing off limits and just eat reasonably. Phen has been there for me through all of this."
