Hi everyone! I'm Heather. I'm trying to Lose weight, eat better, excersize more, and take better care of myself. I was prescribed Phentermine today for my first time ever! I start taking it tomorrow. I'm both excited and nervous! I'd love to meet friends here with similar situations/goals. Thanks!

    I've been taking it for a month, and I've lost 13lbs! It works for me, but there were a few side effects I had to get past... Dry mouth (went away about week 2) and constipation (still an issue) were the worst parts. I've upped my fiber considerably and it's helped, but I still have to take a laxative once a week or so.
