weight loss
"I am not extremely obese, but at 5'7" and my higest weight at 175lbs since having children, I just feel large. I also have Hypothroidism (on Synthroid). I tried Medifast (bad) and NutriSystem (3 months, lost 15 pds) but they discontinued my favorite foods and I got tired of the same 10 dishes. I gained it all back. I did the gym (weights and cardio, 1 hr a day X 4 days a week, for about 5 months). Exercise just makes me hungry, so I over eat and only lost like 2 inches and 10 pds. Went to a doctor and (after tests) got prescription for Phentermine. Only moderately curbs appetite for me and gives me dry mouth (but that helps me drink lots of water). Exactly 2 weeks so far and went from 170lbs to 165lbs. Not bad, we'll see if it lasts."
