| Ughhhh...need advice for dealing with a husband who eats all the time.....
July 28, 2009 at 8:43 AM
|
| Ok so I am getting kind of frustrated with my husband. He by no means is fat but always says he would like to lose a few lbs. He is about 6'0 and weighs 210. He works construction/renovation so he is pretty muscular. He had a terrible motorcycle accident in May of 2001 and that took his ability to be able to run and he doesn't like to walk for long distances (broken leg, rod in leg, pin in hip, and the leg is 1/2" shorter than the other). He can still bike and do water aerobics. My biggest frustration with him is his eating. He thinks that he doesn't eat that much compared to the calories he burns at work, however, I don't know that I agree. The worst part is he does most of his eating at night and I am usually the one to make it for him, putting me in front of food all the time. I know that he is typically very sore by the end of the day and needs to rest, but I just can't be around the food and I feel like he shouldn't eat so much late at night. For example last night I made whole wheat penne pasta with zucchini, onions, mushrooms, red pepper in olive oil and steamed asparagus. He had a rather large plate and had seconds. Then an hour later he had a whole tomato sliced with 1/2 cup cottage cheese, then he had a piece of bread with miracle whip, sliced tomato and melted cheese. He also had a martini, and 2 beers. To me that is way to much especially in the evening when it is just going to sit in your belly all night.
So I need some advice on how to get him to realize this isn't good for either one of us. I don't want to be around food (if I am not around it I don't think about it), and for him to lose some weight he needs to eat less. I don't want to tell him that he should lose a few lbs, because I am afraid to hurt his feelings and start a fight. I need some ways that I can help him without him knowing I am helping him......any advice would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks (sorry for this being so long) | |
| Newbie To Phen
July 28, 2009 at 4:10 AM
|
| So I went to the dr today and he put me on Phen 15.0 mg, and he said to come back after a month and will up my dosage if I feel nesseccary. I am a mother, and have gained a lot of baby weight, and after baby weight from being a SAHM. My starting weight is 193, and my goal weight is somewhere around 150...I can honestly say I have never been that thin so I am not sure how I will look considering I have a larger stature and am tall. My huband is away in Afghanistan and the next time I see him will be in January around my 26th birthday, so I am trying to meet my goal by then and surprise him! I cant wait to see the look on his face, that is more than enough to get me to my goal! I am looking forward to updating you all on my future sexy self!!! | |
| Just starting
July 28, 2009 at 3:04 AM
|
| Hello! I just started phen today (which is why I'm up typing this at midnight!) so I wanted to introduce myself. I've used phen before and was really successful with it. I just got lazy, sloppy with my diet... but now I'm back!
My doctor gave me the small yellow pills to take. I take one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The bottle says 35 mg., but I think each pill must be half a dose.
Anyway, hello to everyone! I'm looking forward to meeting people and sharing successes!;):) | |
| Dear Fat, ........
July 28, 2009 at 1:51 AM
|
| (I do not take credit for this but I thought it was cute and made a lot of sense for some, It was written on another website not sure by whom)
Dear Fat,
You and I have had a love-hate relationship for a long time and now it's time to make some big changes. While I have hated you and what you have done to my body, I know I have made a welcome home for you, and embraced you. I invited you to to cover my frame, hide my femininity, protect me from unwanted attention, and you did your job very well. In fact, you were something of a friend, always there when I needed to fade from attention or find a reason for not exercising all of my potential. You were the visible sign of what I rationalized to be an acceptable addiction, and helped me to smugly assert, that at least I'm not addicted to alcohol, smoking or drugs.
You have been a willing friend, but not a true friend. Because while my body has been fat, I am realizing that fat is not what defines me. While I've believed for years that fat is my true identity (after all, others describe me as Fat, not as "myself, who is fat", that identity is changing rapidly. There's a deeper and truer friend inside me who is now addressing you, Fat.
Fat, you're no longer in control. My deeper, truer friend, has taken an amazing step to put you in your place and your role is diminishing even as I speak. My deeper, truer friend, myself, is putting you out for good.
When I see you hanging on someone else's body, I will not judge them. I will understand that they haven't met their truer, deeper friend yet. I will understand that you are filling a role for the time being and will pray that their eyes will be opened as mine have been, and that they will summon all their courage and effort to finally and completely put their relationship with you in the past. :cool: | |

| Hello everyone. Im new to phentermine and to the boards. I started talking half a tablet 4 days ago. So far I've lost 6lbs. I have found that the side effects aren't too bad. I'm a little jittery and have dry mouth really bad but nothing I can't handle. Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I've been looking at before and after pics and I'm totally blown away by them. | |

July 27, 2009 at 11:02 PM
|
| I am new to Phentermine. I started July 23rd. I was NOT hungry at ALL for the first couple days and had to force myself to eat. I take my Phen in the morning around 9am, I am content with no cravings alllllllllllll day until night time arrives around 6pm or so, and then I feel hunger and want to eat the normal bad foods (or any food for that matter) I dont like this. How can I make that stop?
thanks!
p.s. I would also like to add that I am on the WW diet and loving it, I eat a smart ones meal for lunch and 100 cal snacks in between...but then comes dinner. Ohhhhhh what to do.... | |

Is this just a coincidence or could it be something other than CLA? :eek: | |
| Getting back on track...help please!
July 27, 2009 at 7:10 PM
|
| Well, after a very long birthday (week), I am back on the wagon and plan on eating healthy and exercising again. I was doing so well before my b-day but then favorite restaurants, ice cream cake, and drinking came into the equation...blah. I have dreaded weighing myself this whole past week because I just knew I had to of gained a ton of weight and felt grossly bloated. I was pleasantly surprised I had still lost 1.4 pounds! Good considering I used to weigh myself every day and freak over the .2 loss. I probably would of lost more had I exercised but not seeing the scale skyrocket has motivated me to keep losing. I actually miss working out (sort of) but its so hard to get back into it once I've taken a break. I need motivation! I've lost 13 pounds since July 6th which I think is great but know it is going to be harder as I shrink. I always start with a bang and then fizzle but I would really like to stick with this, I'm starting to actually feel good about the way I look again! Also, I am so sick of water!!! I was drinking tons but now it is such a hassle to get it all in...any advice?! | |

| Hi I'm new to this site, however I've been taking Phentermine for about 3 months and lost 31 pounds so far. I have been trying to lose weight for about 5 years now, ever since I had a Hysterectomy and gained over a 100 pounds. I was losing a lot of weight fast at first on Phentermine but now it has trickled down to about 5 or 6 pounds a month, is this normal? | |
| New to Phen. havent taken it yet.

| New to PHen and Boards
July 27, 2009 at 5:46 PM
|
| Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I am new to the board and wanted to introduce myself. I am at my highest weight ever (outside of pregnancy) but very close to the weight I was when I gave birth to my first child, which was 196. I am currently 183 and want to get to 155 but will settle for 160. I have been trying to lose since April 2009 without much luck. I got the work out thing down, but food is not my friend!!! I can't control the cravings and I snack all day and they are not exactly healthy ones. I contemplated using Phen then, but wanted to try it on my own first. Well I failed, so now I have an appointment with dr to start Phen on Aug 10. I'm really excited and think being a member of this board will encourage me! Any helpful information you can give me is great!!!
I got on the board to read up on the drug and decided to join the forums. I'm excited for my new weight loss and look forward to meeting all of you!!! | |

I was on phen about 2 years ago and did very little to lose the weight. i didnt even exercise. now i'm watching what i eat...exercising and nothing...i know i didn't get here overnight...but my motivation is waning and need to see the scale at least stick to weigth loss not be back to where i started on each monday morning...i feel like monday mornings are like that movie "ground hog day" for me. Any suggestions will help...thanks! | |
| Looking for a Dr. who will prescribe PHEN in San Diego, Oceanside area
July 27, 2009 at 4:30 PM
|
| I have been doing my research and it is hard to find a doctor. Please PM if you have any information on a doctor I could possible get a prescription for Phen. There are a lot of weight loss clinics now who prescribe but of course with the a price tag that is way out of my budget. One place I called they were asking for $135 up front plus the $65 for the week as well, each additional week is $65. Who can honestly afford that. I have 2 children. As bad as I want this weight off I can't take from my baby's mouth so I can go to an expensive clinic. I apologize for blabbering I guess I just need to vent. I live in Oceanside, so I will be willing to travel down to San Diego, Chula Vista, Del Mar. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance. | |

|
| I have done so good for 3 weeks straight and blew it with one meal :mad:
My bad weekend:
I take care of my 8 year old niece so my sister can work, so she's here all day with my 5 kids. They were all sitting at the table playing UNO and making Yo Mama jokes. Well my 8 year old niece yells out (she has one of them very annoying voices that always seems to be yelling) " at least my mom is skinny and NOT fat like yours" I was speechless and couldn't believe she had said that, her mom has always been well over 200lbs until this past year she dropped 60lbs with phen. My 4 older kids all started screaming at her and saying that was a very rude thing to say and she just said "well it's true". My 16 year old put her on her knees and I didn't say a word.
I don't know why it bugged me so much, I mean she's just a kid but she should know better than to say things like that. I was depressed all weekend then went out to eat at Pancho's Mexican buffet with my family yesterday. I didn't just have a small portion either, I had 2 freaking plates full and 5 diet cokes! :eek: I couldn't even breath it hurt so bad because I ate so much I knew better than to look at the scale this morning but I did anyways ... up 4.2lbs I'm so freaking mad at myself!
WHY did I do it??? | |
| I'm addicted.
July 27, 2009 at 12:45 PM
|
| Have you noticed after a month of eating healthy that when you attempt to eat junk, your body almost rejects it. Like, your taste buds disregard how it used to taste and it tastes like crap. I love it, I'm addicted to healthy food. I hope I'm not the only one with this weird addiction.
Also, for you that are having problems with going to the bathroom, not only is this like an at home enema, but it's got berries and protein!!.
I buy the individual portions of Greek yogurt, I mix it with 2 tbsp of the crushed flaxseeds and a 1/2 cup of blueberries. I advise you to be at home for the day if you use 2 tbsp, however you should start out small then work your way up. Research it. I love it!!! You may not...because I'm weird. :D | |
| Mini rant, and advice
July 27, 2009 at 12:34 PM
|
| How is it that overnight, you can gain 5lbs of water weight?!?! AHHH. Grrr.
Okay, so last week weighed in at 220lbs, I was so excited - that puts me 13lbs down, not as much as I wanted after a month but it's something and I did not put my all in (better than being 13lbs up).
So, on my birthday (three days later), I weigh 221. I probably did not even max to 1,000 calories that whole week. I gained a 1lb?! Even if it was just water, wtf. I JUST got off my TOM.
Anyway, it did not ruin my 21st and I had SO much fun. I weighed 220 the morn after my birthday. Not bad for having been drunk lol
So, I will admit yesterday seemed to be my cheat day. I have been trying to add more protein and good carbs to my diet but must have had a brain lapse I will still have a couple days here and there where I don't do so well. I really did cheat yesterday now that I think (yes, holy crap) Had a bagel, probably half a box of wheat thins, and HALF a thing of cream cheese (okay we see where this is going? lol). I then had half a sandwhich which had plenty meat, cheese, and veggies on it. I ate half with one serving of baked lays. I did have a few more goodies...it was a pretty bad day with eating all in all.
My question is, how did I get on the scale and weigh 225 from 220 the day before?! That is water weight?!? Holy crap, my weight continuously slides up and down, up and down until right after my period and I shed 4lbs. I seem to struggle at one weight all month then towards the end I see it move. Last month I struggled to see anything lower than 227, finally I got to 223 and while on my period got to 230 again. Of course, shed some water weight, came back down to 227, then 224 and by the end of my period weighed 220. So does that mean at the end of next month I should be 210ish?
I will admit I do need to get more exercise, and follow a more structured eating plan. I'm trying to implement little things but if I don't take the plunge sometime it will take my forever. Does anyone have a problem with water weight though?! | |

| The Obedient Italian Wife
July 27, 2009 at 11:39 AM
|
| There was an Italian immigrant man who had worked all his life, had
saved all of his money, and was a real "miser" when it came to his
money. Just before he died, he said to his Italian wife..."When I die,
I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I
want to take my money to the afterlife with me."
And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when
he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was
sitting there - dressed in black, (what else), and her best friend was
sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before
the undertaker got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait
just a moment!"
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put
it in the casket. Then the undertaker locked the casket down and they
rolled it away.
So her friend said, "Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all
that money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm an Italian Catholic & I cannot go
back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in
the casket with him."
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account.
I wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it."
:p | |

| Hey girls...I'm having a really hard time going to do #2...I hate it...I feel so big, bloated, HUGE pregnant...Ugh, my stomach looks so puffy...I bought the Milk of Magnesium, but here's my other problem...I don't know when to drink it or how much..You see, I work from 9 to 6 everyday, and since my job is at an office, I'm terrified to have the runs here at work!..I don't want that!..So I was wondering when do ya'll suggest for me to take it and how much. I don't care if I'm stuck at home all night, as long as its not during work hours!...I'm scared to take it at night due to the possibilities, ill have the runs all morning..so what if I take it in the afternoon?..What do you suggest. This is an emergency, I feel I'm going to explode! | |
| The reason I gained weight
July 27, 2009 at 11:00 AM
|
| For the first time in about three years...I am down to 163 and it is modivating me to workout every other day and power walk everyday. If i was not taking the phentermine i probably wouldn't have stuck to it but now I definitely am. My confidence for once is finally improving. I've had a rough time ever since i started going to a psychiatrist who gave me paxil,then celexa.. I was 150 before i started taking those anti depressents which i regret still to this day. I actually TRUSTED my psychiatrist and my counselor. I talked to them both about me being so insecure about my weight..then the guy puts me on anti depressents that made me gain 25 pounds. yeah i went all the way to 175 then my counselor said oh by the way this anti depressent does make you gain weight..hmm a little late information thanks. but anywho..now i am happy except for the downer side effects i have in the evening time. hopefully this is temporary. So, I just wanted all of you to know that you need to be very cautious if you feel the need to go on anti depressents. I know that there are some that will not cause the weight gain. | |
| Huge variance in price difference per pharmacy?
July 27, 2009 at 10:59 AM
|
| I have been calling around to different pharmacies in my area to get the pricing on my next prescription. Why is there such a huge difference? The lowest I have found is costco for 11.47..but some (CVS) are as much as 59.00. Where do you get yours filled? What do you pay?
Thanks! | |

July 27, 2009 at 10:51 AM

| Hello members,
SO can any of you give me some feedback on how your doing on the pill? I haven't lost any weight, but only been on it for a few days. It does seem to give me some energy and I'm not hungry.
I try to walk everyday for exercise and eat healthy. My problem is I like alcohol in the evening.
Hope your all getting to your goals. I want to lose 60 pounds.:)
have a great day and week | |
| Weekend - No Phen
July 27, 2009 at 10:46 AM
|
| Both Saturday and Sunday it was too late in the day before I realized I hadn't taken my phen, stayed on plan even through the evenings. | |
| The dreaded weigh in at the Doc's.
July 27, 2009 at 10:40 AM
|
| Well this weekend was a very busy weekend. First we had a CD release party on Sat. I was very very very good. I ate some raw veggies and maybe a couple pieces of pita with humus. That is all I ate all day. No Champagne.
Now last night at Ruth Chris Steakhouse for hubby's birthday I tried. I really did but I had Fillet Mignon with out the butter and 8 oz lobster tail. 2 Stuff Mushrooms with crabmeat and cheese. OK so I might of blew it with that. I didn't have the creamy chocolate mouse cheesecake. I didn't have the drawn butter over the steak. I didn't use steak sauce I also didn't have the 1lb bake potato loaded with cheese, bacon, chives, sour cream and butter. I drank water and didn't have a glass of wine and I didn't eat the whole day prior to going. So what I figured was.......
Lobster tail 230 cals.
Filet Mignon 500 cals
Stuff mushrooms 400 cals. (two small about 50 cent piece size mushrooms with crab bread crumbs and cheese stuffing)
Roll 200 cals.
Total. 1330 for the day. So maybe with a couple of dips of drawn butter for the lobster I'm rounding it off to 1500 for the day. What do you think.
As of this morning I haven't lost but I didn't gain. I wanted to be at 173 but I'm at 175.8 Thyroid meds I need to keep adjusting as I lose weight and I had to up my Metformin to 2000 mgs a day. My A1C has gone up.
I hope the Doc is happy with my weight lost this month. 183.4-175.8 and meds that were messed up.
I will strive to do better this month. | |
| OT: Im back, but I need your help, I am in a mess!!
July 27, 2009 at 9:45 AM
|
| Me and my husband have separated and he has moved out and got an apartment. Yeah, I know, I should have seen this coming but I am still in shock. We have a love hate relationship and most of the time when this happens, he comes home. But this time he went and got an apartment and signed a year lease. I am so damn angry and hurt because I feel I have done everything to make this work and he just runs away. Also our daughter is starting kindergarden in 2 weeks and he is going to miss it. I just feel like this man has hurt me so much in the past 2 years that I dont think I could forgive him for this. He said he wants to work it out but that we need to be apart. I think he is so full of it. I am just about to lose my mind. I am getting depressed and I just feel so rejected. I feel like when I was bigger my life was so simple. I know he has a problem with jealousy but he has litterally walked out on his family and put us in a financial bind. I dont know what to do. Give me some advice. Love ya girls!! | |

July 27, 2009 at 6:16 AM

| Argghh I really hate when TOM and FLO visit... they are my least favorite relatives for a good reason! I only lost 0.4 pounds this whole week! :mad:
Now that both relatives are gone again for awhile...I guess I better get my butt into gear and work even harder. I have a wedding to go to on August 8th and would love it if I can be at least 175 or less by then which means... a ONE SIZE SMALLER dress for me to get into for the wedding! Hope I can do it!
I'll just keep both chins up for now and ust be glad that at least it was a LOSS... a small one but a loss still and not a gain. :D | |

| ot mommy question!
July 27, 2009 at 4:39 AM
|
| okay so i have a question.. kaylee turned a year old on the 21st so i know it's not a huge deal that she's not walking yet but she really doesn't even try! ethan was at least standing and holding on to stuff and walking at this age... she'll scoot herself around in her walker or crawl around on the floor but for only like 10-15 mins at a time then after that she's over it and wants me to hold her... any suggestions on the best way to get her to walk?? is the best place for her in a walker? on the floor? in a playpen so she can hold on to the edges? she doesn't even stand up on her own yet... | |
| BUSTIN MY BUTT FOR NOTHIN!
July 27, 2009 at 4:06 AM
|
| Ok. So I have been working my butt off this past week and only took one day off cuz i was SORE! My week was walking and wii fit the first 2 days. 2 miles each day. then 3 miles jogging/walking the next 2 days ( rest was between those days) I walked a mile today and rode my bike outside for a mile and did half an hour of INTENSE tae bo this evening. and guess what I gained 2 pounds! Shoot me. I dislike with a passion busting my butt and not eating my favorite things to get NOWHERE. i know everyone will say it is probably just my body getting used to things or whatever but a little tiny loss would make me feel better... my doc wants me to try alli too so half a phen plus alli starts tomorrow. I really want to lose this weight but i am getting frustrated. this is when i normally give up...need encouragement... | |

| Phentermine + low carb have given me hope! Mom of 3 losing steady! *Pics included*
July 27, 2009 at 1:17 AM
|
| Hi my name is Stacy, I am a stay at home/work at home mom of 3. I have always been over weight, but when I had my children is when the real weight crept in. I would not gain much during pregnancy, then I would give birth lose everything I gained just from having my baby, and then in the next months of sitting at home taking care of a baby and the stress that comes with it, I would gain..... With each child I went into the next pregnancy weighing as much as I did or more then the end of the previous pregnancy. :o Finally after I had my 3rd which was a big surprise, he was born sickly and was lots of work for me, I became very depressed with post partum depression and gained all the way back to my weight at the end of the pregnancy + 5 more pounds sitting me at 305! :mad: I started Curves and changed my diet slightly (just not as many snacks) and lost 15 pounds in a few months, It was hard for me though but gave me hope as it was the first time I ever truly saw the scale go down because of something I was doing! Finally after yo-yo dieting for another year and losing and gaining the same 10 pounds I went to the Dr. the beginning of this year (Feb.) and she mentioned diet pills to me! I said I was all for it! I lost 11 pounds the first month doing nothing but taking the pill. Then I decided to take advantage of the diet pill and add low carb dieting, which before was soooo hard for me to do with the cravings, but with phentermine I had no want for food ever. It worked! I stuck it out and today I am 235 I am still losing and have a long way to go, I know. But I have now lost from 305 to 235 thats 70 pounds! I am walking almost 3 miles a day because I have tons of energy! I low carb diet with no trouble at all and feel great!!!! Here are a few before and after pics. I was a tight size 26/28 and am now a 18/20 My heaviest...   This year... - 70 pounds feeling a bit better about my self and not hiding behind my kids in pics LOL!! :p    | |
| Doc's phen is $$$$, how can I get them to release my prescription????
July 26, 2009 at 11:44 PM
|
| Ok, I didn't know how to word this question.
I live in New York City and go to one of the most affordable weight loss clinics that gives you phen, etc. It's $75 every two weeks..includes 14 phentermine tablets, 14 vitamin mineral supplement tablets, 14 water loss tablets, and a B-12 shot.
The thing is, I just don't know if I can continue to pay the $150 per month. I don't have health insurance and I will not for the next year. My idea is to get my prescription and have phentermine, or whatever ends up working for me, through walmart.com...where MANY refills are just $4 for a months supply!
How do I "ask" my doc? IDK...I mean..if I am being given phentermine..that means I would have a prescription right??? I don't know how to ask my doctor LOL. What if she asks? You know...I can see her being pissed off that I want to go somewhere else cheaper..and she therefore loses out on business. IDK.
I also want to get a prescription for an anti-depressant...this has been a LONGTIME overdue...now I don't know how much the "going rate" is to just have a doctor write you a prescription...? Would it be part of their consultation? IDK...I have no idea. | |
| oh snap
July 26, 2009 at 11:36 PM
|
| Stupid scale. Stupid stupid stupid scale. It hates me and I hate it. Really...BAH! So this is what's up. I weigh myself at 10:20pm probably not a good idea anyway. It flirted with me and well of course I had to step on. I did and it said I gained 4 friggin pounds. Really? come on now. I workout like it's a second job and I eat healthy. I'm a few seconds away from curb stomping it. What a POS. Anyone else have this problem? It better be just me getting guns...because I'm almost ready to sell tickets to the gun show. hahaha
I feel lighter and look more toned. It better be muscle or I'm busting a cap in this scales ***** | |
| Anyone take Phen immediately after exercising?
July 26, 2009 at 10:58 PM
|
| Due to a tight schedule today, I exercised early (and beat my personal best on 3 mile course by 25 seconds...yay ME!) and then came home and took phen, multivitamin and a protein shake.
30 minutes later my head a-sploded.
I've gotten a head rush from Phen before, but not like this! Ever had something that you thought "rocked your world"? That was me!
I was so goofy I didn't feel comfortable to trust my judgement when driving my family to church this morning. Kids were like "Dad's not driving? Did he have too much to drink last night? (Har comma har comma har). I sat through church with a beatific Phen-stoner look on my face...
What a weird day. | |

| | Hi my name is Leah, 21 yrs old, currently on the track of finally getting down to the weight I would like to be....I was originally almost 200 pounds after graduating high school and over the years has lost weight through many life events, ect...
I'm trying to regain the motivation to lose the last 20, even though my clothes fit great and everyone says that I look amazing..to me though, there is room for improvement. Being 200 doesn't always leave the best effects to the skin! lol..
I have not started my 2nd month supply yet of phentermine because I have taken a drug holiday so I can regain the full effects I lost towards the end of the first month.
There are so many success stories on here and I'm amazed by everyone's progress!!
Great to meet everyone!:) |
| How to take 5-HTP
July 26, 2009 at 5:49 pm
|
| | Hey I just picked up some 5-HTP from CVS 50mg ( I was gonna get the 100, but figured i could always take 2 if I needed 100mg )
It says take one capsule with food up to 4 times.
I was wondering, what is the more effective and best way to take this while taking phen?? and what time of the day
and when I am taking a Phen break should i take it any differently?
Does it really help with moods too?
Thanks :) |

| Newbie starting today
July 26, 2009 at 4:55 pm
|
| | Hello everyone,
I'm beginning this journey today and I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I've been on and off the weight loss wagon for years but this time I made a few changes. I started in June with exercising at least 40-60 minutes a day and I've been watching what I eat. So far on my own I've lost 10lbs but I really want to see a difference so I've added phentermine. I hope by the end of my 90 day quest I can taper off and continue to make some positive changes.
I've noticed only one side effect, I have a dry mouth; like I've chewed some cotton.:confused: but if it works...
I'm in it this time for the long haul and I've made some pretty permanent life style changes. Keep in touch, I would love to correspond with you.:D |
| just starting the phentermine
July 26, 2009 at 12:48 pm
|
| | ok, so im glad that there is a site like this because i do feel that i need to talk to people that are going through the same problems as me. First off, i am happy with the results. i started on the phentermine 4 days ago and so far have lost 6 pounds. I want to make sure i lose the weight i want so i walk my dog everyday, and do this ab workout every other day. I am anxious to see the results by the end of 2 months (doctor strictly prescribed it to me for that long) but i am very worried about my negative side effects. i have a history of depression and realized that i was a downer and not as happy as i usually am when out with my friends. I was quiet, and just kept trying to smile so people did not see me sad. My main goal is to lose this weight so it will be worth it,however if the depression gets so bad that it effects my social life and gives me suicidal thoughts, i will have no choice but to stop. hopefully this will get better in a few weeks..but i'll see. anybody have that same problem ? |
| Feelin good again!!! & slimmer!
July 26, 2009 at 12:29 pm
|
| | I was feeling down for a lil bit and a little discouraged bc i couldnt find the time to exercise and have been too lazy to wake up early to go so my goal for this week is to get out of the 230's and at least once get my lazy butt up and jog before school bc i know it'll only take one time then after that ill realize how good ill feel for the rest of the day! Yesterday i went out and bought me an outfit just bc i havent done so in a really long time, i bought a LARGE shirt and it was very tight fitting on the top and back but not so much in the stomach area so my bestfriend told me ive lost weight and my bfs grandma and he seemed very very happy last night with the new upcoming me! so that really motivated me! Thanks everyone for all the encouragement! & feel free to post your goals for this week! |
| Do any of you get your prescriptions filled through WalMarts $4 program?
July 26, 2009 at 11:58 am
|
| | I don't have health insurance, so I have to pay for everything out of pocket. I am thinking of going to the doctor and getting a prescription for prozac. I know that prozac is VERY costly. So I'm wondering if I take my prescription to WalMart if I will pay the $4 out of pocket, or if they mean that's the cost when you use your health insurance?
Prozac (generic) is on their list of $4 refills so I really rather pay $4 for a one month supply than $200+ somewhere else. The only thing is..I am confused as to whether this is just $4 out of pocket or AFTER health insurance covers it. It sort of seems too good to be true if it's just $4 out of pocket (period) after handing in your prescription.
Can someone enlighten me? I'm also thinking of getting my phentermine through there as well. |

I'm so excited..I have my first appt. Aug. 4 and can't wait! I would like to get some sample menus lined up and ready before then..any advice? Lots of water,lots of Protein, right? My friend who goes to where I'll be going says they limit you to 1200 cals. and 20 fat grams a day..I lost 25 on my own and have been stuck trying everything to lose the last 20 for over a year..so I'm gonna try this. She said they are also offering shots in the belly to lose fat? They also do the b-12. I have been lurking on here for quite a while and have finally introduced myself...Laurie..Postal Worker,2 Grown daughters,4 Grandchildren....Have a great day....:) |
| E5882(15mg) vs E5000(30mg) phen HELP ME PLEASE
July 26, 2009 at 12:01 am
|
| | H i everyone. I started off with 15mg E5882 and i strongly feel that those supressed my appetite much BETTER than the ones i am on now 30mg E5000(30mg). I thought it may have been becuase i bought the 15mg from CVS and the 30mg from WALMART....but i think it may be due to time release differences. Does anyone know if E5882(15MG) acts instantly or is it time relased or and info on the differences between the 2 woud help. I have my doc appointment ina week and i really want ti figure out why these 30mg seem like im taking a sugar pill hahah |

| | My name is Brayleigh and i started Phen on July 22nd. I have not currently weighed myself considering i havent been on it long...
Quick about me.
I'm an Army wife. My husband is currently on his first deployment to Iraq and he has been gone since feb 09... i work and i go to school... Im your average girly girl.. love to have fun and enjoy some many different types of people.... My weight has been an issue for as long as i can remember but just never been as big of a deal until recently... i want to be has happy as i was before and start loving the pretty girl i see in the mirror every morning... i want to be able to see the person that my husband calls beautful even tho hes 9500 miles awhile... i just want to be the person he met the very first time that was full of like and that was like 20 lbs lighter. ( well im going to be loosing more then that but you get what im saying)...
My husband will be coming home for two weeks in November and i want to more confidence in myself to know that im that beautiful girl that he talks about all the time.
So with all that said im here for the long run and to make changes not only to make my self-esteem go back to where it used to be but to make a more positive enviroment for my husband, family and friends.
Problems that i have run into are that i find myself hardly eating at all... i know that the doctor told me that i needed to eat bc that was my problem before.. i would only eat once a day... how are some of you that dont have an appetite making yourself eat...
what types of things are you eating... what type of excerise are you doing...
If you feel like you dont feel like your answering theses types of questions over and over please feel free just to tell about your sucess... thats always a plus in my book... and gives me hope...
thank you and i hope yall leave me some comments :D
Talk to you soon | | |

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.
