I am 51 year old stay at home mom. I am on Levothyroxin because my thyroid gave out 13 years ago I was very close to dying,thank God that my doctor found it in time. About 10 years ago I developed Stress Induced Insomnia so I take Xanax and Ambien for sleep and Wellbutrin for depression. So anyway I really started to gain a lot of weight 13 years ago with drinking soda all day and binge eating. So June 14th I put the soda and fast foods down and started drinking water all the time. I also changed my diet and lost 10 pounds. I saw my doctor on Tuesday the 24th and when I on the scale I cried. I talked to my doctor a few weeks ago about using phentermine to help me, my son-in law lost 40lbs in 8 weeks. So I started on Tuesday with the phentermine. It has given me loads of energy and I have started to exercise. I dance to high energy songs in my garage for 30 minutes a day and have really changed my diet for good. I started at 215lbs and now I am at 201. Thanks for having me here .
