| Lost Weight but not "feeling" it
May 27, 2009 at 10:10 pm
|
| | Okay so over the past 10 days I've lost 10 pounds. This was the start of my diet. My scale is a nice scale, it's a digital 30 dollar health-o-meter that i bought from wal-mart. The thing is, even though my scale goes down about every day or every other day, I don't feel the weight loss, you know? And I'm not so sure if I see it... my mom says she can see that I've lost weight but I haven't. Has anyone else felt like this? I'm guessing it's all in my head. |
| I finally got my phentermine!!
May 27, 2009 at 9:51 pm
|
| | I went to the weight loss clinic today and i got my pills but ugh! they only gave me 14 pills.. im supposed to come every two weeks to get more. I also got a b12 shot and more chromium picolinate. The only two things that i was kind of upset about was that my phen is only 30 mgs... i wanted 37.5. AND they are the CAPSULES!!! that means i cant even cut them in half to make em last longer....
My phen is in a capsule form with white and blue little balls inside. One side of the capsule is dark blue and it has "K28" printed on the clear side. Does anyone have these in the 30 mgs? Do they work well??
Well I start tomorrow, today i enjoyed my last bit of junk food (chik fil a and mcdonalds) before i get serious about losing this weight. Wish me luck! |
| 40 down...40 more to go...
May 27, 2009 at 9:48 pm
|
| WOOOOO.... my scale said 202 this morning. I am half way to my goal!!! So, I thought I would share some pictures today. First is me at 242 at the end of Dec.  Then me in March at 220.  This is me today at 202...in the same outfit...except the jeans are 2 sizes smaller.  I think I can see the difference...look out ONDERLAND...here I come!!! |
| I am soo worried right now
May 27, 2009 at 9:47 pm
|
| | I gained back 3lbs in THREE days???? I havent been doing anything diff..i dont know whats going on. All i can hope is that its muscle but it cant be. not 3lbs worth. Its not TOM. I was thinking maybe taking a break but i dont want to gain back anymore weight. Im trying to fit in the gym in the morning but its going to be a tight crunch. Ill put it thru. I will NOT go above 244! I WONT!!!! I WONT!!!!:( |
| Not sure if the Phen is working???
May 27, 2009 at 9:37 pm
|
| | Hi Everyone! I started Phen on the Wednesday the 20th. I have been very careful to keep my caloric intake below 1200. I have seen some results on the scale (my battery died on Friday...but before that I had lost 5 lbs).
The thing is I don't feel jittery and I still feel very hungry. Now, it takes less food to fill me up than it did before, but I did not think I would feel hungry at all. It makes it very hard to stay low cal when I am so dang hungry all the time. I don't really feel much extra energy either. I took my pill late today (like around 11am) hoping it would help with my night time hunger but it is 7:30 and I am starving! And I had to take a 15 minute power nap today at 2pm because I was exhausted (I did work out this morning at 8:30am).
I just expected a bunch of energy and even maybe some jittery-ness. And I expected to not be hungry at all. Has anyone else felt like this? Should I call my doctor (my endocrinologist prescribed for me) and ask her to add something like Tenuate or Meridia (these are medications she mentioned when discussing this with me)...or at least so she knows that I am still hungry on the medicine? Are my calories TOO low. I know I am probably not getting enough protein (my proteins for today were only 35 and I think they should be around 60 at a minimum but I don't know how to add protein and still keep calories low).
Please, any advice you have would be great. My concern is that if I am so hungry all the time my body will go into starvation mode and I won't loose weight and my doc will take me off the medicine all together.

|
| Ok I found a few pictures of my weightloss, forgive the first shot lol I think I had one too many but it was the only one I could find of my whole body. Me at 175  Me at 160  Me at 155  Me at 150  Me at 145  Me at 140  Me at 130  Me at 125.8  I tend to hide my weight with loose shirts and pants I can't breathe in so I'd look alot heavier in some of these pictures naked. But I'm proud of how far I've come and I actually am starting to like what I see when I'm naked too lol. |

May 27, 2009 at 3:48 pm
|
| | Well I've lost 5 lbs my frist week on Phen. I'm happy with the results so far. I know that I could of lost more but I cheated this weekend by drinking Mojitos on Saturday and Chocolate Martinis on Monday. :( I've learned my lesson. I cannot and will not cheat any more until I go on my cruise July 2. My mini goal is to lose 20 lbs by then. Hope I can do it. |
| Can you get a 90-day supply with a prescription?
May 27, 2009 at 3:38 pm
|
| | I'm moving out of the country - my drug plan has a mail order program where I can order 3-month supplies of prescriptions, but they couldn't tell me if phen was available under this program because they need an authorization from my doctor first.
Has anyone gotten a 90-day supply with a prescription, or is it restricted to 30 days at a time??
Thanks! |
| Can anyone help?

I THINK THATS A SMALL DOSAGE. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN OPINION ON THE DOSAGE AMOUNT? HE TOLD ME I COULD LOSE UP TO 5 POUNDS A MOUNTH. I DIDNT THINK THAT WAS ENOUGH AT ALL. I WAS THINKING MORE LIKE 5LBS A WEEK! BUT HE PERSCRIBED ME THE 30MG ANYWAY. I KEEP READING ABOUT PEOPLE LOSEING LIKE 40-60 LBS. HOW? AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE? WHAT TYPE OF EXERCISES? I'M GETTING MARRIED AUG.15TH,2009 AND I HAVE TO LOSE AT LEAST 20LBS. I'M THE HEAVIEST I HAVE BEEN EVER IN MY LIFE. IT'S HORRIBLE. I DONT EVEN BUY CLOTHES ANY MORE BECAUSE I REFUSE TO BUY BIGGER CLOTHES. I FEEL SO NASTY. THATS THE ONLY WORD I CAN THINK OF. FAT AND SWEATY. MY MOM IS A SIZE 8,MY SISTER A SIZE 3!!! AND ME.......A 13/14. SO I COMPAIR MY SELF TO THESE BEAUTIFUL,FLAWLWESS WOMEN (MOM AND SISTER) ALL THE TIME AND IT'S GOING INTO A POINT WERE ITS UNHEALTHY EVEN OBBSESSIVE. SO I DECIDED I HAD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR,WORK OUT AND DIET . IT'S CRAZY. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS EXTRA SKIN RUNS MY LIFE! I KNOW ITS RIDICULOUS BUT, IT'S TRUE!!!!! I DONT EVEN GO OUT TO PARTIES OR IN PUBLIC TO MUCH BECAUSE OF MY SIZE. IN CONCLUSION ( AFTER ME RAMBELING) I'M HAPPY START THIS PHENTERMINE AND ALSO THE WEBSITE FOR SUPPORT. IF ANYONE LIVES IN THE DFW AREA HIT ME UP AND MYBE WE CAN WORK OUT OF WHAT EVER. MENTAL SUPPORT :)

| Sum ???'s
May 27, 2009 at 3:07 pm
|
| | First is about plateaues (sp?) and how to avoid them IF you can even do that...Does it help to take your phen at a diff. time everyday or half and half or what? Im confused about it all. Ive seen many posts on people saying things they do to trick their bodies. Is that to avoid a plateau?
Second, when i tend to exercise on a regular basis and do weight training, i always end up gaining lbs on the scale. So they say muscle weighs more than fat. So when working out how long before i start to see the numbers drop on the scale? aside from gaining muscle which is heavier.
Sorry if i confused yal, kinda confused myself!!!:rolleyes: |
| My opinion, BMI is a crock!!!
May 27, 2009 at 3:04 pm
|
| | Ok so i see a lot of you saying htat your goal is to be at a healthy BMI, and that is great, if that's really what you want....but for my height i am supposed to be at MOST 145......I am sure, I'd be too skinny at that point.....I mean maybe i'd liek how i looked, but......when i lost weight before i got to like 180ish I thought i looked pretty good, I mean, maybe i would have wanted to loose a little more but I don't know about 145
Also, BMI doesn't account for muxscle, which as we all know weighs more than fat....so if you are solid, and no i don't mean like a body builder....just...solid....then you could look great and the BMI scale....could tell you that you are borderline obese....
anyway...I just want to like how i look ant be healthier......
I won't makemyself a slave to BMI or a scale
what do we think about this phensters? |
| Very very new Newbie
May 27, 2009 at 11:27 am
|
| | Good morning everyone, I just joined a second a go. I am not even on meds yet. My doctor is monitoring my heart-rate from my thyroid meds to make sure that is under control before he OKs the Phen. So another week or 2. Until then I will keep trying to lose on my own. But I am so impatient.
Is there a support group for anyone with thyroid issues? Seems like all I do is expand these days. But I am excited to start.
Oh and I am 32, married, no kids, living in Florida. |

| | Hi I am new to Phen and website there is so much helpful info on here. I went to a weightloss clinic in Jax, FL and I just started Phen my weight does not look like alot but for my size and height it icause alot of problems. I was on another sight and they were kindsa mean because of that. I just want to be healthy for my family. I am taking the B12 shot with lipotripics (probably spelled wrong) is anyone else taking these kinds of shots and do they work. I really appreciate any feedback and motivation. Also think about joining weightwatchers does anyone else do this?:p |
| Is it inevitable?
May 27, 2009 at 10:39 am
|
| | Am I going to have a saggy stomach? I was talking to someone and she mentioned that when you loose weight this quickly that I will have a big pouch of saggy skin. I don't know why but it made me cry. Of course I want the weight off and I want to be healthy, but just the thought of it is almost unbearable.
So is it true? Is there anything I can do to avoid it?
Sorry for being a cry baby :( |
| How does your B12/HcG injection make you feel?
May 27, 2009 at 10:33 am
|
| | I just started phen, and at my 2 week check-up, my doc says that we will be starting the b12 injection. I'm still wondering how this helps....Are there any potential side effects? How do you feel about your b12/Hcg injections? What is the difference between them. I've been thinking about HcG injections for a while....but for right now the phen is working when I split the tablet in half. I'm having one before lunch..and one before dinner. My side effects = extreme sleepiness...so this actually works for me. :p |
| Pills looked different this month???

| OT......soooo pissed, need advice
May 27, 2009 at 5:09 am
|
| | Okay....so....about a month ago, my F.I.L. to be called me and said there was some game or something he wanted online but he didn't have PayPal, and that was the only form of payment they took. I didn't really want to give him our password and login information, not because i don't trust him but, PayPal is linked to our bank account....and his father is....to put it mildly somewhat careless.
But...his parents have done A LOT for us in the past couple years, so against my better judgement, I have him the information so he could purchase the game or whatever. He said he'd give us the money next time we saw him. I told him not to worry about it cause it was less than 20 bucks, and even though we live on a fairly tight budget sometimes, as I said they have helped us out a lot. So I gave him the information, and waied to see it show up on my online banking statement.. A day or so later, it did show up, but there were 2 charges instead of one so i thought there must have been some kind of billing error. I then called his father and asked him about it, and as it turns out, this game requires you buy like points for upgrades or something (I'm not much of a gamer) and he bought, the points twice....without telling me...so instead of like 17.95 it was almost 36 bucks. As i said we are sometimes on a strict budget, but at this point it was not about the money, I felt he had stolen our money. Maybe that is a little harsh, but that is how i felt. I was upset about it, but I didn't make that big of a deal about it because again....they have been there for us.
Then, yesterday I was checking our bank account and bills and stuff yesterday, and I found 3 MORE charges from the same website....2 for $8.99 and the other for like 17.95....immdeiately I call my fiancee' and ask him if he's used PayPal lately, because I'm thinking "**** this website is some kind of scam and they bill you every month I gotta find a way to stop it"...and he tells me "Oh yeah Dad asked me if he could use it for something for 8.99 and I told him that was ok".....and i told him "Try 8.99 twice and another 17.95" My fiancee said he would talk to his dad....but never got a hold of him yesterday...
At this point i was LIVID!!!!! We don't have a **** ton of extra money....and the money we do have i'm trying to save penny by penny to affrod a wedding next year....and his dad is stealing from us?!?!?!?!?!
Sorry this was such a long drawn out story, but I need some advice....
Am I being too harsh feeling he STOLE our money twice?
Should I push for some kind of explaination from his father?
Should I let it go even though I am so mad I could spit fire?
I changed the Paypal password yesterday.....because I don't want it to happen again...
I mean his father...even at 50 seems to have no concept of money....his parents are going through a bankruptcy, because his father gets every credit card he can get his hands on and maxes it out, drains their bank account...etc....i even found out from his mother that last summer he overdrew his bank account 1000 while in Atlantic City, because he lost all the money he brought to gamble with.....
I am so upset that he would take our money without our permission, it is such a violation of trust, and not something i could ever see a PARENT doing to their CHILD....what do I do? |
| First pill tomorrow!
May 27, 2009 at 3:35 am
|
| | They gave me my first shot yesterday. Tomorrow at 10 am I take my first pill. The staff are totally disorganized and not at all clear or helpful at this clinic. But at least I got the Phen I've been trying to get for 2 years. 7 pills for $45. I just hope it works! |
| Weight v. Size
May 27, 2009 at 3:00 am
|
| | Is it the number on your scale or the number on your jeans that's most important to you?
For me, it's the scale. My doctor says I don't look like I weighed as much as I did when I started the phen. In fact, I'm 5'3 and am a size 10. At over 160 lb., I have to wonder if that's normal for someone my weight and height. She actually couldn't believe it. I would always avoid the weigh ins on my checkups because I was so depressed afterward - their scale weighs higher than mine by 5 lb. at least - so I was over 170 on their scale.
My BMI shows that I was borderline obese when I started phen, but my doctor said I looked good. The BMI was what made her recommend the phen. |

| | I'm 25 mother of two boys 3 and 4 months I'm a stay at home mom.Here is my story. I took Phen In December of 07. I weighed in at 193! I got on the phen to lose weight to get pregnant. I took Phen for 2 months and lost 20lbs. I stopped taking them at the begging of Feb. Got pregant in June of 08. Had my son Feb 09. So I gained 20lbs during the pregnacy. Lucky for me I lost all 20lbs fast. I have been going to the gym 6 days a week. 5 days Cardio and 1 day Stenght training with a personal trainer. I have been doing that for 7 weeks with a 2lb weight loss. I went my doc Friday May 22nd and I started the Phen on Sat May 23. I have lost 2lbs since Saturday. I hope to be one Phen for no longer then 4 months. I'm working my butt off need this weight to be gone. I hope to find others here with inspiration. If you just want to talk to someone send me a message.

| Starting Phentermine soon!
May 27, 2009 at 12:15 am
|
| | Hi guys!
I'm a married, 36 yr old stay at home mom (recently left PACU nursing for a bit). I have PCOS and have been obese for a long time (10 years?).
I'm currently on a BP med and I've been monitoring my blood pressures. When I see some good numbers I will start. I'm very afraid of increasing my bp so high that I would have major issues. I have a 4 and 5 year old and want to be around for them for a long time. I see some of you started with a 1/2 pill/day. Will try that for sure!
Looks like a great sight!

| I only lost 6lbs this month-UGH!!
May 26, 2009 at 11:51 pm
|
| | So, today was my weigh in day at the gym and I only lost 6lbs. I know that a loss is a loss and be glad that I lost and didn't gain any, but it just ****s. I know it's my fault too, because I have totally been slacking this month. I am back on the band wagon as of today though. No more cheating and back to working out 2 times a day 5 days a week. I HAVE to get this weight off. I WILL be at 190lbs come June 26. That is my goal for the moment and I am going to bust my hump to get there. Thanks for listening, I just had to rant because I am so disappointed in myself. I have been doing this for almost 2 months without phen and I am seriously doubting my decision. Maybe i should start back. I am going to give it a week and see what happens. Thanks again and I hope everyone has an awesome rest of the week!!!:confused: |
| Do you like Strawberry Cheesecake?
May 26, 2009 at 11:46 pm
|
| | Okay so for all of you that are craving those sweets I had the best salad today and I swear it tasted like cheesecake. So this is how I made it:
2 cups raw spinach leaves
2 tablespoons of Organic Poppyseed Dressing (it has less fat, calories and carbs) toss first before adding the rest.
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of crushed almonds (you can use pecans too)
3 sliced strawberries
And hand sprinkle some lowfat low calorie feta cheese on top
I HATE sweet salads but let me tell you this was sooooo good and the salad alone was so feeling and not too many calories and I swear it tasted just like strawberry cheesecake so if you craving something sweet you might want to try it. :D | | |

If you wish to combat excess weight safely, go with Phentrimine. Phentrimine is a scientifically formulated diet pill and is not a mixture of herbal ingredients whose effects are doubtful.
Phentrimine's primary ingredient is a sympathomimetic amine, meaning it mimics norepinephrine, which elevates metabolic rate, increases fat mobilization, and increases energy levels.
