Suggest Treatment To Reduce Weight

I am in the Army and need to lose weight. I joined the Ajuva Weight Loss clinic here in town and got a prescription for Phentermine. It worked GREAT! However, my initial period (and my money) ran out and now I'm needing to lose that last 40 pounds but the doctor there (Ajuva) insists on charging me $195 per week to start over and get a new prescription. I already know how it works, and I had no bad side effects. I need to get another prescription written for this medication, but I can't go to the VA because they don't prescribe it. I have no other health insurance.
