How Much Did You Lose?

I have yet to start taking this so I cannot review, but I was hoping that those that do use it could share this info. How much did you lose and how quickly?

I dont think I have really lost a great deal too quickly otherwise my doctor would worry. I know many people that had that issue and ended up being taken off the med's then the weight just comes back.

I have been on and off of the medication for about 18 months now and I have lost 50 lbs total. At first I lost about 10 lbs and then after that it was about 3-5 a month. Some months I would lose more and some months I would stay the same (which was fine with me as long as I wasn't gaining). I had to figure out that if I ate too little my body would get used to that and after a while it would take less calories to lose so I started making sure that I was eating (even if I wasn't hungry) and the weight would still come off because I was decreasing my calories gradually instead of all at once. Good luck!

The first time I took Phentermine I lost 26 lbs in 5 weeks. But I was on a STRICT diet of lean protien and salads and working out every day. My DH's company was having a convention I was avid I was going to lose all my weight. Then we found out we were pregnant. I've been back on it for 2.5 months and I've lost 28 lbs. I'm not as strict on the diet and instead of working out every day I'm chasing around twin boys.
