Obesity
"I started taking the medication because I was tired of being &quot;obese&quot; by military standards. I have two kids, work a full schedule, and go to school full-time. I tried phenteramine, but I had horrible side effects.  I have been eating 1400 calories a day for the first week and have dropped 8lbs. I drink at least 100 oz of water a day. I do drink diet Pepsi or coke. I keep a food journal which makes me responsible for what I put in my mouth. I use the Smart-Ones meals for lunch and breakfast to guarantee I know what I&#039;m eating at work. Maybe a snack bar or yogurt for a snack. I usually eat every 3 hours. "
