I went down from size 22 jeans to 13! I have not worn that size jeans since high school over 20 years ago.”I decided I needed to lose weight when I saw my before picture. It made me ask my doctor about gastric bypass, which led me into trying phentermine.A lot of people talk about dieting with phentermine, but for the hardest part was actually scheduling food intake to ensure that I ate enough. After losing almost 70 pounds, the most rewarding part is not to take 20 pills a day for arthritis and fibromyalgia. And not being sick all the time with pain throughout my whole body.I also have now developed a stronger self-confidence and feel attractive at times. Before AfterI had lost over 30 pounds and I could not see a bit of it because of looking in the mirror daily it just didn’t seem believable. I purchased 3 different scales thinking one of them or all of them had been broken. They hadn’t.So, my advice is that weekly measurements of the body (inches) are what’s most important – not necessarily the number on the scale.I have weekly measured since day one and lost over 40 total body inches.Eating Without an Appetite I have never been an eat-a-lot person. I did not make significant lifestyle changes while on phentermine. I keep it pretty simple. Lots of water, fish, protein shakes, veggies and fruits.6 AMWAKE UP & TAKE PHENTERMINE 7 AMBREAKFAST Chocolate protein shake10 AMSNACK Protein bar12 PMLUNCH Chicken breasts and cottage cheese5 PMDINNER Fish and spinach7 PMSNACK Nuts and fresh fruits10 PMBEDTIME Check out similar success stories: Conner lost 70 pounds Jaime lost 72 pounds Steve lost 75 pounds Mary lost 77 pounds Elyssa lost 79 pounds Sam lost 90 pounds
