Hello everyone! I just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Sarah, and I am on Day 3 of Phentermine. I have not been able to loose any weight since I had my tubal ligation in August 2012. I have instead gained 20 pounds since then. 
I am 30 years old, 5'1" and when I started I was 160lbs. I weighed today and am 153lbs. I know right now it is just water weight but it does help with staying motivated and on track.

Hi Sarah! My name is Louise, and I have been on the Phentermine/Topiramate combo for about five weeks and have lost 11 pounds. I take 37.5 of the Phen when I get up and 4-5 hours later I take 50mg of the Top and another half of a Phen. I just added the extra Phen last week and I am not sure if I will continue; I have an appt to see my doctor on Thursday and will be discussing the meds. I switched to decaf a week ago, and waited until Wed to add the extra half of the Phen.
The first week I lost 5 pounds and the second week I only lost half a pound, most due to severe constipation, a known side effect, so you might want to really keep track of your regularity.
