I'm 6'0". My weight at one point got up to 205 lbs. I took up cycling 8 years ago, and managed to get down to between 175-180 for the last two years. I was stuck, however, and couldn't/didn't lose any more. My favorite thing to do is climbing, and I despaired, because I weighed too much ever to be any good at it.

In April, I snuck off to a doctor I found in the Yellow Pages that does 'medical weight loss'. There a nurse practitioner gave me a cursory examination. She raised an eyebrow at my seeking treatment with a BMI of 24, however she nonetheless prescribed phentermine, 37.5 mg, one pill every AM. That's an appetite suppressant, the phen in fen-phen. I've been taking it ever since. I haven't told a soul, not even my wife.

So, that is my confession.
