July 16, 2009 at 11:28 pm Okay so I have been on phentermine a little over a week (11 days to be exact!) and have been doing really well. I'm starting to get my hunger back which kinda su*ks but I still feel really motivated to stay on the right path. One MAJOR problem: my birthday is in three days! I haven't had one drink in 2 weeks and although that sounds like an achievement coming from an alcoholic, understand that I am young and a good majority of the people surrounding me drink quite frequently. I want nothing more than to go all out on my B-Day and enjoy Chili's (my fave!) and a few too many Stoli Strasberry drinks. Will this set me back tremendously? I've lost 8lbs already and though I want to fully enjoy my day, I don't know that gaining those few pounds back would be worth it. I hate veggies, I'm super picky, and I tend to gravitate towards fried food...any healthier, yummy suggestions that would make me happy and not feel like I'm missing out? Hmph....:rolleyes: starting after a week break.... July 16, 2009 at 11:04 pm ok so as most of you know i have not had much success with phen this go around. still sitting right around where i started. doc added a second med but i havent actually been able to take it due to some medicla issues that had me stop my phen for a little over a week anyway. sooooo...i figure now that i had a break...and not only that but took a break my exercise too....im gonna get back on the wagon tomorrow. but im gonna try to just take one phen a day. im gonna break the pill and take 1/2 in the am and 1/2 around 3. im a but concerned about sleep at night. but im hoping since its just 1/2 a pill then i should be ok. im also going to start walking more again. so back to the treadmill and my music mixes. i go back to the doc next week. i know i gained a few pounds. im also going to see my regular doc. talk about a few other issues. the last few days i have wanted to eat anything and anytime!! literally i find myself wanting to eat for no reason. i swear the phen keeps me from doing that!! do you think a week off will help my body with the phen? meaning that maybe it will work better this time and i can see a good drop in weight within 2 weeks? it seems my weight is centered in my tummy. i was actually told i look 4/5 months preggo right now. :( then again....havent had a BM in about 5 days . and the miralax isnt working. im really trying to eat more protien and lots less carb. ive been searching and reading old posts for help. any help or advice is appreciated !! thanks 9 lbs....i think July 16, 2009 at 10:27 pm Well I've been on for 9 days and I've lost 9 lbs...well, i have 3 different scales that say 3 different things, so i'm going w/ the one that closest w/ what I weighed @ the docs..and PRAY ITS CORRECT! LOL...I started @ a thick 185..and today i'm 176 so yay!!! Im hoping to post some pics tomorrow depending on how my chucky dolls are acting....but i can tell you that I'm seeing a difference, still having to make myself eat(altho I did hear my stomach growling like a monster for the 1st time since i started around midnight and it scared me lol) but I'm still excited! sw:185 cw: 176 goal :145-150 ? on cleansing July 16, 2009 at 8:51 pm Hi everyone! well I'm taking a break from phen for awhile.I just wanted to know if anyone has done a colon cleanse and if its helps with the weightloss and when does it take effect? Just thought I ask.Thanks! I HAVE BEEN MIA LOL July 16, 2009 at 7:58 pm Well, I have been gone for a while now. Alot has been going on in my life. Last time I was here I was 156.5 lbs. which was in April. I was having pains off and on for a little bit but did not think anything about it just thought maybe it was something I ate. One morning I woke up around 5:30 and the pains went on for like 3 hours straight so I went to the doctor. The doctor did bloodwork which came back normal and then scheduled me for a ultrasound. Well when the results came back it showed I had gallstones and they wanted to do surgery and take out my gallbladder. I had surgery on April 30th. It seems like after I had surgery I just pretty much gave up on eating right and exercising and everything. Needless to say I gained back like 6 pounds since April. So now I am trying to get my butt in gear and get back on track and get to my goal of 135. The doctor said no more phen for me either:( because he had already gave it to me for 3 months. I still have a few left to maybe last a week but I am gonna try to do it on my own or maybe later get the money and go to a weightloss doc.My friend goes to one that is $125 for the first visit and $65 a month after that. The price includes the visit and the phen for 30 days. I just dont have the money right now since I just had to put a motor in my car and all:( It just seems like it has been one thing after another. Well, I just wanted to update everyone on whats been going on these last few months. I started going back to the gym and eating right and hopefully I will be on my way to a new me soon.:D Phen and PMS July 16, 2009 at 5:37 pm I am into my 4th week of Phen and so this is my first time experiencing PMS while on it. Has anyone experienced increased symptoms of being an emotional wreck?! I am just miserable today and was like this yesterday. I worked out yesterday but they were crappy workouts. I just feel really blah..and am on a serious emotional rollercoaster...lol..you know its really bad PMS when you are so miserable you cant even take yourself. I am going to just go for a long walk today in hopes of feeling better. Anyone experience this? Thanks in advance. =) ? about Adipex July 16, 2009 at 4:22 pm I am currently on Phen and my doctor just perscribed me adipex. Has anyone went from phen to adipex and are there any side effects? Did it work better or not at all? Do I take it just like phen? I will be starting the pills next week and I want to know what I am getting myself in to. Lipotropic Injections? July 16, 2009 at 4:20 pm I just started going to a weight clinc and currently I am on a plan that includes phentermine prescriptions, supplements, b-12 shot, bi-monthly visits and these lipotropic injections for $249. There is also a plan that includes everything except the lipo injections and only a monthly visit for $149. Now I don't really need (nor do I really want) to go to the doctor every two weeks so I'm basically paying an extra $100 for these injections. For anyone with experience with these, is it worth the extra cost? Or should I be saving my money? Any advice would be much appreciated! hair? July 16, 2009 at 4:02 pm Has anyone else noticed their hair getting healthier and growing faster from losing weight and maintaining a nutritious diet?...mine appears to be growing faster and feels and looks healthier! Hi I am Ife, and I am fat. July 16, 2009 at 3:41 pm I have finally come to terms with this fact. I am the youngest child and was always the one who was skinny. My mom still jokes how it took me forever to get to forty pounds when I was a kid. How hard it was to get me to eat. As a teenager, I always heard "that looks so good on you, but you look good in everything" and "we live vicariously through your body". My mom and sister have always been over weight (mom now weighs less then me). In my late teens, I started gaining weight but still was a good size. I thought I was fat though...and everyone always just said "you are not fat, you just need to tone your body" At the age of eighteen, I got my first job, an office job. Well, no time for excercise, and plenty of time to eat and eat and eat....at 5'3, I weighed 145-155. Was 20lbs more then I wanted to weigh but felt it was not bad. Got pregnant at 23 and top weight was 209 at eight months. Swore I would never get to be that heavy again. After daughter, I breast fed for two years. The calorie dump was great, let me tell you! I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight by no time. Well, after I stopped breastfeeding and no longer had that calorie dump, I kept eating the same and the weight slowly climbed. I am now 29 and at my highest point, I have weighed 199.5. I have never tipped the scale to being 200+ yet, but I know hitting thirty, my metabolism is just going to get slower and its going to get harder. I had to do something, I have no energy to play with my daughter. Luckily I found out that I could use my flexible spending dollars to pay for the closest weight clinic in my area. Tuesday 7/7/09, was my first appointment, the next day is when I started phentermine and vitamin b12 injections. I go for my second appointment today. I hate seeing myself in the mirror and going to my mom's house and seeing this picture that was taken of me when I was 16 and wearing a strapless velvet black dress. Looking through old photo albums is hard too. I want to look like that again. Wish me luck. I am going to need it. And thanks for all the support this site offers. On vacation but still doing well. July 16, 2009 at 3:17 pm Well I have been spending my Summer Vacation enjoying time with my 1 and 3 year olds. I have not been on in a while but wanted to update. I have now lost 66 pounds. I am at 277! This has been hard work and I am just wondering does it ever get easy? I do have a lot more weight to lose than most of the people on here. To get to my goal I will have had to have lost over 140 pounds. I know I can do it. I am already almost half way there. I just wish it were as easy as it was getting this big. I have been doing 4 miles on the elliptical daily. Being on vacation has made it easy to get up and get out to the gym. I have also been taking swim lessons and have learned how to swim at the age of 30. I will be taking my children to Legoland CA in a couple of weeks. I have a goal of losing 7 pounds before then. I am very proud of myself I have never taking losing weight this serious and this is the most weight I have ever lost. Average would be 10-15. Phen has definitely helped. I thank my doctor. Hi New Here and Questions July 16, 2009 at 3:14 pm Hey All I am new here and starting out according to my Wii Fit at 169 pounds!!! I had a baby Dec 29th c-section and finding it very hard to drop the pounds from my second birth! I started out 177 pounds 1 week ago. I am doing the Wii fit trying to limit my food intake but still find myself very hungry! I take my prescription phentermine first thing in the morning- then drink a whole bottle of water with it The first week I took the pill for few days I had rapid heart beat and hot and couldn't sleep but kept on it and now it has all gone away. I was wondering if I should still be so hungry? Example of meal for day egg for breakfast and steamed chicken breast with lil ground peper on it with steamed veggies and all the water I can drink of a day but I have craving something awful am I eating too much?? Can some of you that have lost weight tell me what you currently do daily for food and excersise should i get my pill stronger from the dr? I also take lexapro and trazadone with that make a difference -- I have rhuematoid arthritis that I was taking Enbrel Injections at home 2 times a week but stop was wondering if that was causing weight gain. What do I do yall? My Goal weight is 135-130 I am 5 10 I want to have the weight off before Oct is this possible Please HELP ME or Guide me!! Also do you all get your pills from dr or from this site???? Thanks For listening!!! [/FONT] myoden(AMP) injections July 16, 2009 at 2:45 pm Has anyone tried the myoden injections?I decided to give them a try today.I got a shot in the office today and 3 to take home,take one for the next 2 days and then a booster in 2 weeks.The Dr. said they would help,guess i'll find out.It also has vit.b12 mixed with it. B12 inj. and still feeling tired? July 16, 2009 at 1:48 pm Last Friday my doc started me on the B12 injections and an Iron pill a day. I'm supposed to do an injection every day for 7 days, then drop to once a week and so. For the first day or two it really seemed to help my energy level, I wouldn't even get sleepy in the afternoon which is rare for me. For the last few days though I haven't really been feeling any boost in energy from them. Earlier today I did my injection and about an hour later I felt like I could lay down and take a nap so I then decided to chug down one of my hubby's 5hr energy drinks which has 8333% daily value of B12 and 2000% daily value of B6. Now I no longer feel like taking a nap, but I'm no where close to feeling like I could get up and exercise for an hour either. I'm not close to TOM, so I can't blame it on that. Alot of people seem to get a nice little boost from the injections. Am I the only oddball that wants to lay down and take a nap instead?? :confused: will begin soon!!!! July 16, 2009 at 1:31 pm I am currently weaning off Cymbalta and will begin Phentermine July 23. I have gained 35 lbs since being put on the Cymbalta a little over a year ago. I really hope the Phentermine will help me get the weight off!:) oh no!!!! July 16, 2009 at 1:27 pm well apparently my scale says I gained three pounds, nothings changed except the fact that I work out like a fiend. However, it is that TOM and really I almost had an anxiety attack. I just hope it's the dreaded TOM and not me actually gaining the weight back. It definitely brought a few tears...:( Help!! July 16, 2009 at 1:13 pm Today is day two of Phen for me. Today I took the entire pill first thing this morning.....I ate an egg, and a small bowl of grapenuts with 2% milk. I have also been drinking lots of water. I can feel myself getting a little hungry, so I just ate a 1/2 cup of applesauce. I am not starving but can feel small hunger pains. How has the first couple of days went for everyone else. I am new at this so, I dont exacly have a routine done. Are there any particular foods I can eat for breakfast, lunch dinner and snack that will help me stay fuller longer? I just cam back from lunch, I ate 2 small pieces of chicken tenderloin, a piece of wheat bread and some brocolli. Am I not eating enough? I still feel hungry, but dont want to over do it :(. How quick should this pill kick in. This is only day 2, what should I do? Oh this is NOT good........ July 16, 2009 at 11:58 am Well I had gone in to get my labs done for my thyroid and glucose. I haven't been there since March when everything was fine. This is not good not good at all. My A1C has gone from 6.0 to 6.3 and I'm eating better then ever:confused: My thyroid levels are screwed up my Ft3 is high, My RT3 is very high. My Ft4 is at the top of range. My DHEA has dropped. I have been stable now for over 9 months after 5 year of trying and the only thing that has changed is weight lost and Phentermine. What the hell is going on? I know for one thing I can't go through this again with going hyper.:confused: I get way too sick. To think that when most people go hyper they drop weight like mad.....Not me I gain......go figure.:( Teeth Clenching July 16, 2009 at 11:57 am Does anyone else find themselves clenching their teeth a lot on Phentermine? Stuck July 16, 2009 at 11:38 am I have been on phentermine for one week today. I am a 28 year old female. I started at 150lbs. in the first four days I lost 5 lbs down to 145lbs. As of today I am back up to 146 lbs. I haven't done anything different. I haven't lost anything in three days and when I woke up this morning I had gained a pound. Has anyone else had this problem? I was to the first week I would lose a good bit and then it might start to slow down, but I really haven't lost much now I'm stuck. I;m just looking for some hope that it will pick up.:confused: Scale @ home July 16, 2009 at 11:30 am Hello everyone My scale at home it's weird I think I might need a new one. On my last weight in at the doctors the scale at home reas 3/4 more pounds. So I just though I would use that as a difference, now everytime I step on it, it reads something different. Like I step and it's 198 then I step again right after and it will be like 199 or 200. Should I just get rid of it. It's digital and I had it for about 6 years now. I don't like getting on the scale everyday so I was thinking of just waiting until I get to the docs. my butt July 16, 2009 at 11:29 am Ok....so ya'll know how everyone looses the weight of different parts of their bodys more easier than other parts.?..at least that's how it seems. Anyway, with the little tiny weight that I've lost, my legs are getting skinnier...My pants seem more loose from my thighs, legs than my waist!..which I really don't like...Worst, I have no BUTT...I hate it...and soon it will probably look like my back...FLAT...More flatter than now...Another thing, I am one of those girls who have no waist..Ugh, I wish I could do something to get my waist more visible. Even if I get a flat stomach, I won't get that little curve waist. I'm just plain squared. Does that have a cure?..I heard by wearing tight underwear but, uh I dnt like it a lot. Also, I wish I had more butt.....oh has anyone heard the Women Body Bible...I swear I was about to order it. Do any of you know if it really works. It seems so good. Getabiggerbutt.com I NEED Sleep!!! July 16, 2009 at 11:17 am Ok, so it's week one. I have been on phentermine before and slept fine. I take the pill as soon as my feet hit the floor in the mornings when I wake up. I've gotten about 2 hours of sleep per night this week and I am zoning out, big time!!! The doc told me to take Melatonin that you can buy at any local pharmacy which is a natural sleep aid and it does not help whatsoever. I had high hopes! Should I just take Benadryl every night until I am off of the phentermine? I usually end up really groggy when I take it and am thinking with the phen making me jittery and hyper active adding in grogginess to the mix might not be the smartest thing to do.... I'm already zoning out as it is! Any suggestions? Confused... July 16, 2009 at 11:05 am Today is day two of Phen for me. Today I took the entire pill first thing this morning.....I ate an egg, and a small bowl of grapenuts with 2% milk. I have also been drinking lots of water. I can feel myself getting a little hungry, so I just ate a 1/2 cup of applesauce. I am not starving but can feel small hunger pains. How has the first couple of days went for everyone else. I am new at this so, I dont exacly have a routine done. Are there any particular foods I can eat for breakfast, lunch dinner and snack that will help me stay fuller longer?:o 25lbs more pounds to go July 16, 2009 at 10:26 am Hey everyone! Hows things going? I am so happy, today is weigh in day for me and the scales were 165!! woohoo woohoo!! doing the happy dance. Now, I have 25 more lbs to go to reaching my goal. So that means time to take a deep breath and refocus. I have been really slacking off and now its time to kick that butt in gear and get it done. Going to try! July 16, 2009 at 10:23 am Ok so I am going to try and post some pics, I am not good on the computer, but my girls are a wiz! Will try and get some up today or tomorrow. Also, my dds are going to camp for a week,they are leaving Sunday coming back on Saturday, Going to try and go out and maybe do some dancing!! I met my intermediate goal! July 16, 2009 at 9:38 am I'm more than halfway to my final goal!!! WoooT! *happy dancing all over the place* I was hoping that when TOM was finally gone I would see a big change, and I was right! I'm so excited!!!!! I have lost 27 pounds, and I now have 26 to go! I'm so happy I don't know what to DO! But I have to go to work. My puppy (anyone want a 7 month old Lab/Golden Retriever mix!? I'll pay you to take her!!!!!) As I was saying, my puppy destroyed my only pair of glasses last night. I mean, there is no saving them. Both lenses are in pieces, and the frames look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. I have to DRIVE like this. Good thing my eyes aren't too bad to drive without them, but good GRIEF! Last night, she ate a textbook of mine from last semester. You know, I try to keep things put up from her, but she always amazes me with how she finds and then runs off with things. WTF? July 16, 2009 at 8:31 am I am so mad at myself. I have been given this wonderful aid to help me on my weighloss journey and I go on a week long binge, gaining back those 10 pounds that I had lost my first two weeks! What a dumb@$$ I am. I did however quit taking the phen for that amount of time cuz I knew what I would do. And didn't want to waste them. I have to get my act together. I am so sick of wearing blue jeans out. I am tired of being embarrassed of my body. I'm not sure what actually triggered the binge but, I was really craving carbs and sweets. It's not an easy journey, but I am coming back around. My brain waves get scrambled sometimes i guess. I started back on phen yesterday, taking it right before lunch and it seemed to help me more to take it then than in the mornings. I want to begin to workout 2x a day instead of once. That should help? Well, I am sorry this is so long. Just needed to get this out since I have no one to talk to that understands my problems. Thanks for being here. A little nervous to take wellbutrin with phen!!!! July 16, 2009 at 8:25 am Ok, so I have been debating whether or not I want to start taking my new prescription of wellbutrin. My doctor prescribed wellbutrin to me to help me stop smoking as well as to better my mood. I am hesitant however because I have never taken any type of antidepressant drug, and to take it with phen its honestly making me a little anxious. I haven't taken my phen for a few days so I am thinking about starting the wellbutrin today to see how it affects me. I talked to both my doctor and pharmacist and they both said that the two together are fine to take. They told me to watch for any signs of change in thought process but I would be fine to take both....anyhow, if you have taken both please tell me how they affected you..BOTH GOOD AND BAD...thanks, Amanda Not feeling it anymore........... July 16, 2009 at 7:29 am I have been taking Phentermine since Sept.2008 ( off and on) and I have lost 50 pounds. Here lately I have been just feeling down with it. I have a Appt . today and I know that I have not lost any weight since last month and I know that they are going to ask whats going on. I work alot and when I get home its time to cook supper then clean and the i am so tired that I dont want to do anything else. I am on my feet all day at work and my Knee is killing me so that doesnt help matters.We do get out and do stuff ....boat rides and ride the waverunners...but that is not exercise thats just fun. When I do try to exercise my knee just gives out. Maybe I am just in a bad mood because I really dont want to go to this Appt. today or maybe just a mild depression state right now?. .... I just had to put down what is going on right now for me. I hope it will all come together soon and I can get back on track. Plateau HELP.. ugh.. July 16, 2009 at 3:09 am I've been on phen for 6+ weeks.. I've lost 21 lbs so far. I started at 163, I'm currently 142. My goal is 130, so I only have several left to go, but it seems like my numbers are NEVER changing. I had my 4wk followup and I weighed 143.5. So since then, (14 DAYS AGO!) I've lost 1.5 lbs. I've been doing more crunches, belly dancing and still eating healthy and 6 small portions a day and my weight will not seem to budge. ANY suggesstions? :( Attached Images EWMEEE.jpg (23.5 KB) bam.jpg (30.6 KB) Bob or Ally, have a question? July 16, 2009 at 1:49 am Bob about two weeks ago you where talking about CLA, I was wondering if it was helping you. I purchased CLA 500 mg. The recommendation is two a day. I think you mention that we need about 4000 mg a day. Ally if you have any information on CLA that would be great.   This email was sent to skripayura.phentermine@blogger.com.  Create Your Account Don't want to receive this feed any longer?
