when I turned thirty, for the next five years i gained an amazeing amount of poundage. I was going back to college trying to better myself. by the time I noticed what was happening I was 295lbs. I then started a concentrated effort to lose weight. I ran five miles every morning I started a strict diet. I tried weight watchers. I tried slimfast. I tried ultra ninety. and then I tried every. stinkin weight loss gimmick I saw adds on tv I tried it. pop ups on the computer I tried it. I was about to give up altogether when one day I was talking to a friend in the hallway at school when a girl walked up and said that she had overheard my conversation and recommended that I go talk to the people at the DR.'s diet program. she gave me the number and I called it. I went there and had bloodwork done and my blood pressure taken and weight measured. I then was put on phentramine and lost 58lbs in the first three months I amnow at the weight I want to be and love it. People keep telling me that this pill is bad and that it can kill me but I have had my regular family Dr. monitoring my progress and he said that he can find no indicators that I should stop takeing this pill. so ...some people can lose weight the normal way and some of us need help.
