| I need HELP! 3 wk Plateau June 5, 2009 at 10:10 pm |
| | I started phen March 7th and my weight loss has been steady and I was happy with it, But this is getting ridiculous. I havn't lost a thing in 3 wks now! Good thing is I havn't gained anything either so I am happy about that. I have tried upping my workout. I do right now 1.5 hrs on treadmill and 30 mins of toning. I was only doing the treadmill. I have tried zig zagging my calories. I also added B-12 1000mcg last week and today I started the chromium picolinate. I was keeping my calories at or below 1000 a day and last 2 weeks i have been anywhere from 800-1500 day. I just cant seem to get the scale to move. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't eat bad at all. Lean meats, salads, no coke or sweets at all and bread maybe once a week. I am stuck please help!:D |

| Getting Back on Track June 5, 2009 at 7:32 pm |
| | I started taking Phen and joined this forum in April. I started off doing very well. THEN... the past 5 or so weeks work has been utterly demanding. I've been working 16 - 20 hour days, totally stressed and eating all kinds of BAD food. Mostly snack foods, as I haven't had time to cook or go out to eat. I've been working from home the whole time with the exception of 4 days, when I had to travel to the client site. So, I've not been getting any exercise what so ever. I had lost 9 lbs. I've gained 5 back. Looking at the positive side of things, at least I haven't put it all back on. I started taking Phen again today and am wearing my Bodybugg to track how many calories I burn and how many steps I take. Hopefully with these and this support group, it will be the motivation I need to stay on track. Best of luck to every one. |
| I got my phen today June 5, 2009 at 7:11 pm |
| | I went to the Dr. today and was able to get the phentermine! I can not wait till I start tomorrow!!! |

| I need to get back on track.. June 5, 2009 at 5:56 pm |
| | i started phentermine like 9 days ago.. so far i've missed 3 days of pills... i went from 254.6 to 245 in the first week, but now im back up to 249.2.....ugh. I just started school a few days ago, which has reallllly messed up my phen schedule. I keep forgetting to take my phen!!! Now, i try to take it around 10:30 - 11:00 am because i truely think my pills are weak, they dont supress my appetite much at all, and it usually completely wears off by 6- 7 pm. Now, i havent been over eating, but i have been eating some of the wrong things. I need to get out of that bad habit because i do not want to get back into the 250s... i also havent been drinking as much water because im at school all day (9am - 4 pm) BUT, i did do my measurements the other day and i realized that I lost 2 inches off my waist! thats about the only good news I have. :( Please help motivate me to get back on track. I want to be out of the 240's asap! I didnt expect my first month on phen to go this way. |
| Hi All! June 5, 2009 at 4:53 pm |
| | HI all, I'm 24 and have always been "overweight." Thankfully I came from a family who is supportive no matter what size we are. When I graduated high school five years ago I was at my heaviest of 200 pounds, I lost 50 pounds in the following six months after that. I maintained the weight until 06 when I became a flight attendant ... since then I had peaked at 174 and had stayed at that weight until last month. In a MONTH I have gained 10 pounds and finally turned to my doctor for help. (Back story to all of this lol). In January I met a wonderful man who just happened to be on my plane that I was bringing to Iraq. Figures he would end up being a Marine going off for a deployment of a year. Thankfully come August he gets to come home for 2 weeks and we will be spending it together (I'm falling madly for him, when they say you gain weight with love they weren't kidding! lol). SO I'm hopeing with, excersize, diet and phentermine I'll be able to drop at least 20 pounds (I'm satisfied with him visiting and me being 160). After that I want to continue on to be 150 pounds again. However even at 150 pounds I'm still concidered overweight! (AAHhh!) Being that I have a very curvy body and a large chest I think anything below 140 will be silly. SO after 150 I'll continue on to be 140, but that's it. I am hopeing to meet new people who are going through these same struggles. Hugs Brandi |
| These pills are gonna make me lose..... June 5, 2009 at 3:14 pm |
| | Everything!! I have the Phen rage so bad its pathetic. I just go off about completely nothing!!! Ever since I started losing weight the DH has been jealous, but now its 10 times worse. He has always been a little jealous. Throwing sly comments here and there, but today I just went off!!! Wednesday, I took a bath and fixed my hair, take it I hardly ever fix up unless I am going somewhere and I put a gown on, he says, fix your hair when Im here. That pissed me off. Then today, my daughter said something about a baby named Elizabeth, and he started questioning her like she was in court. It totally flew all over me. He then just got up and went to bed. I went in and asked him what was wrong and it went from there. Huge fight!! I find out later that baby Elizabeth is King Henry and Anne Boylens daughter. Her and my mother play like they are them and she had a baby doll and named it elizabeth. I just get so mad because his jealousy is only because HE cheated. His guilty conscience and it makes me so mad that I have to hear it!!! Tell me if I am wrong. I have never just been able to let it roll off my shoulders. I get pissed when he accuses me of anything because I do everything right. There have been plenty of times when I was unhappy and I just dealt with it. He runs out and finds another woman when he is unhappy. OOOOH, I am just over it. I told him I would take a lie detector test to show him that I am not the terrible person he thinks I am and that when it was over, he was gone. How can I look at a man that literally doesnt believe a word I say and would make me take a test before he will believe me? It is all BS and he knows it. Im just thinking the guilty dog barks first. Maybe he is doing it again, but this has got to stop!!!! Please tell me if I am wrong about this!! I need some advice!! |

Where in michigan can i go to get apidex, the b-12 shot, and weigh in, under a doctors supervision??? I know i can order online, but I would prefer to go to a clinic. It seems safer to me. |

| Do you tell June 5, 2009 at 11:16 am |
| | People that you take Phen?? I have stopped telling people all together now cause it pisses me off they think that that I am cheating and just taking the easy out and don't give me any credit for busting MY BUTT working out and sticking with healthy eating they think I just take a pill and don't eat, I am SOOOO sick of people saying stuff like this to me, so now I don't even mention it, I'm even thinking of telling my family I'm off of it now so they'll stop saying stuff. |
| OT - OMG Will It EVER Let Up??? June 5, 2009 at 11:12 am |
| | Okay so I'm getting ready to take Miranda to her first counseling appointment in a few minutes and yesterday they found a goiter (don't know how I missed it - it's HUGE) on her neck for her annual physical! They called back and said her TPO Antibodies (attacks thyroid) were elevated and she needs to be seen by a pediatric endochrinologist - ahhhhhhh. I know my wonderful "genes" are to blame, but could it have happened at a less convenient time???? I'm really trying to pray and take it one day at a time, but it's SO hard!:o |
| so June 5, 2009 at 11:10 am |
| | Weaning off of Phen how should I do it? I am so close to my goal once I hit the 130's I'd like to start weaning off of Phen but not sure how I should do it.... |
| Its hard to force myself to eat June 5, 2009 at 11:00 am |
| | I'm having a difficult time forcing myself to eat to stick to a healthy diet. I haven't taken the pill yet today, because I'm still feeling the effect from yesterdays pill. My problem is, when I'm upset I don't eat. Right now I'm upset because I have to give my dog away. I've found a great home for him, but its very hurtful to do. So, I haven't eaten, I can't even force myself to, not to even drink water. I know this is going to hinder my progress. I hate it! I was just venting, thank you. |
| oh no.... my knee June 5, 2009 at 9:23 am |
| | Ok so at work yesterday I was 196 and I can not tell you how great it made me feel because last week i was stuck at 200. This is now my 4th week of phentermine and I have lost 8lbs so far in the last 3 weeks. But... my right knee has started to hurt... almost as bad as when i first injured it. When i played soccer in high school my senior year, the last game of the season, I got my knee kicked in by a girl on the other team. She was going toward the goal and i scooped the ball out from under her , well she saw me coming and was about to take a shot on the goal when i got the ball from her but the thing is, she followed through with her shot and since i had the ball her foot connected with my knee :eek: So when i couldn't bend my knee after 4 weeks my aunt made me go to my doctor, who in turn referred me to an ortho, who ordered an MRI, and turns out i had torn a tendon on the inside of my knee. The good thing he told me at the time was that it was only partially torn and healing on its own so no surgery was needed. But i had forgot he said if i ever wanted to play sports again i would need a brace. At the time I was focused on getting started at college so i wasn't interested in sports. He said after 6 months i could start running again without any problems, but no running or jumping for 6 months. Well over the years since that incident I have either worked out on the elliptical, or walked and jogged to try and stay active. Not seeing much results with either one. This time around I Have decided that I am going to push myself because i really want to see changes in my body. Well a lot of you are doing the jillian michaels 30 day shred and if you have you know there are lots of lunges and squats involved. Lunges and squats give results fast because they are huge muscles and they burn a lot of fat. I am loving the results I am seeing and yet i am so scared that I won't be able to do them anymore because my knee has been hurting severely over the last 3 days. :mad::mad: I can still bend it all the way but it hurts when i bend it, it feels almost as bad as the initial injury only i am able to bend it this time. I have a doctors appointment next Friday with my primary care physician. He used to play football so i hope he will just give me a brace and tell me i can keep doing my exercises, but if he tells me no more squats and lunges i don't know what i will do. My legs are getting so toned and feel so strong. Until i see the doctor im just gonna do cardio and upper body but i don't want to lose the muscle ive worked so hard to build up in my leg's :( I am so mad about this it is not even funny, i should've went and got a brace before i decided to do these workouts but its been so long since the injury i didn't even think about it. |
| PHEN + CLA = Inches lost June 5, 2009 at 9:22 am |
| | Is anyone using phen along with CLA? I am but I have only been on for a day I was hoping to get some feed back from those who have been on a bit longer. Thanks! |
| New to Phen - dealing with constipation? June 5, 2009 at 8:58 am |
| | I am new to Phen (started Monday June 1st - today is Friday June 5th) and have lost 5.5 lbs so far. I'm amazed at how this stuff works and makes me feel. I have tons of energy, NO cravings, and NO uncontrollable hunger. However, what I DO seem to have is a case of constipation. I'm normally very regular so this is strange for me. Any suggestions on how to deal with the constipation? Thanks for your help everyone! :) |

| | Hubby and I just bought a new video camera. He decided to tape me in the shower...I know my butt is big but in moving pictures it is grotesque!!

No more bread no more bad snacks I am going to live on the treadmill and pilates mat...I am obviously not doing enough or not doing it right...I have been piss farting around for too long and broken too many promises to myself...this is it. I look so bad I just want to cry. |
| STUDY ON CONTINOUS AND INTERMITTENT USE June 5, 2009 at 1:31 am |
| Found this study and found it very interesting. The test group was small and the average weightloss of phen for 36 weeks was only 13%, I don't know how much of this is really accurate. Alot of people lose that in one month. But it seems to me over the course of 36 weeks that continous use and intermittent use produced almost the same results with intermittent use having a slight advantage. http://www.obesityonline.org/slides/...orlistat&dpg=3 |
| So HAPPY......... June 4, 2009 at 11:11 pm |
| | Just wanted to let you all know how happy I am to be able to read and respond to your posts now. I believe it has helped me out. I am getting more motivated and I really want to start working harder. When my computer was acting up I was so down because I couldnt come on this site like I wanted to. The last couple of days I seem like I am back in touch with family and I love it. I just want you all to know just how much you help me out in this journey. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.:D |
| Price increase? June 4, 2009 at 11:08 pm |
| | Hi everyone! I am wondering if anyone has seen a price increase lately with the Phen-d. In April I got 30 of the 105 cr for $17 at CVS. My insurance doesn't cover it so I have to pay cash, no biggy. I hadn't been faithfully taking it until about 3 weeks ago and have lost 10 pounds. I went to refill it and it was $33! They said they are used to price increases but don't know why it is double. CVS is looking into it for me, but I am wondering if anyone else is seeing this too? Walgreens charges $35. Not complaining because I found a doctor in St. Pete that wanted me to eat 500 calories a day and then charge me $60 a week for the injection of the phen-d and other "supplements" so I am doing good with this. |
| I'm A Newbie And Started Phen Again Today! June 4, 2009 at 11:07 pm |
| Hi my name is Heather and I am 22. I guess I can give a little back story on who I am. :) I'm taking phentermine again after having gone from 190 in January 09 to 160 in March 09 by just dieting and exercise. I was previously in the high 140's thanks to phentermine back in October 07 and maintained it until April 08 but a series of family issues and the death of my great grandmother caused me to shoot up to 190, which is my highest weight ever. I'm an emotional eater so to ease my pain I pretty much ate out and ate whatever I wanted to try to fill that void. I've always just had this pudge ever since I was about 13yrs old. So I really don't know what its like to be at or near my optimum. I feel like I am wasting so much potential... :( FIRST TIME I WAS ON PHENTERMINE @ AROUND MY LOWEST WEIGHT 147-153ISH: POST CONTINUED BELOW..... Image limit reached... :D | | |
