Hey Jessica, I looked over your meals. Do you know how many calories were in the salad and the dressing? Also I would make sure you are getting enough fiber in your diet. Hope you are having a great weekend!

Hey Jessica! Welcome to the forums! So I was looking over your diet from the last few days and there are a few things I would change about it:
1)Instead of Whole Milk, try 1% or skim. Whole milk is really not the best dairy for you.
2)STAY AWAY FROM MCDONALDS SALADS, THEY ARE NOT HEALTHY! The salad alone has 260 calories and that one packet of ranch dressing has 290 calories, 270 which are fat calories, and 30g of Total Fat (46% of daily recommended value).If anything, ask them for the balsamic vinigarrette dressing.
3)while on phentermine, most dr.s will tell you to drink atleast 8 glasses of water a day, which is equivalent to 4 water bottles. So try to drink a littler more.

other than that, you're on way to a healthier happier you! Are you working out at all?
