So, here I am again. I used to be a regular on here back in 2010. My name is Sara, and I'm 29 and from Jacksonville, Florida.

Anyone here know of a good over the counter appetite suppressant? I don't look for this as a permenant fix, but I was on Adipex a few years ago and it made a huge different when I first started dieting and exercising.

Suggestions for switching it up?
So, my weight loss has slowed, which I knew would happen and I'm okay with that as long as I'm losing.
