Weight Loss
"Over 5 years I gained 56 lbs. I have spent half of the last 5 years on a diet, tracked calories on MFP, and still couldn&#039;t budge my weight unless I ate less than 800-900 calories- I will gain weight at 1200.  I&#039;m 6&#039;1&quot; and weighed 205.9 after the holidays (yikes). Until May I faithfully ate 800 calories a day. I got down to 197- seriously! What a joke!? In July, I tested bordeline hypothyroid and started Iodine and Phentermine. I took 37.5 mg for 2 weeks and lost 15 lbs. Went off the med and settled in at 185 lbs (+3 lbs) for the next month. Just started the 37.5 mg again 3 days ago, and I&#039;m down to 181! Side effects- a little dry mouth. I dont feel extra energy. Remember to supplement your electrolytes to prevent cramping!!!!"
