| | This past week I have slacked off soooo bad. :confused: My wedding is only a few weeks away, and I would like to look the best that I can. So I'm back (hopefully). I took some pictures of me this morning, and compared them to some that I had taken a while back, major difference I think, what do you guys think?
I actually went into a store this past week and bought a size Large shirt. Haven't worn a large my ENTIRE adult life, and I'll be 30 in 2 months. :D
Oh yeah, BTW, didn't show my face, still hiding the Phen from the outside world. :cool: Sorry. |

| | Hello! I've been a member of this board for a long while, but stopped coming on here b/c I stopped taking phen for a while. But now I'm on it again & even more determined to make it to my goal once & for all! So I'm formally introducing myself to everyone :)

| I smell like poop: Constipation on Phen
July 24, 2009 at 6:10 pm
|
| | Yeah you read it right lol. So this might be TMI, but I know that MANY of us suffer from constipation on phen.
I am usually someone who has very regular bowel movements....2-3 a day...or basically within 1-2 hours of eating...I'm regular :). Ok so if I haven't gotten to your gag reflex yet, stick with me.
After about a week on Phen, and another diet pill that is similar, I notice I suffer the constipation. It isn't so much painful or anything..I just don't go poo. Maybe 1x a day and it's a SMALL one.
Now, when I sit at my desk for a while and I am typing I feel like I can smell the FECES IN MY BODY thru my skin. It's as though I can smell it THRU my skin and I know it's inside of my body...and it's like it's sitting there clogged and marinating. --by this point I either have you throwing up or laughing hysterically- I have asked MANY times if anyone smells anything. They do not. I continue to say " OMG, I smell like a poopoo diaper! It's driving me nuts".
I am a VERY clean person...so then I start thinking..omg...maybe I didn't wipe..nope..not the case..I use baby wipes and toilet paper for every trip to the restroom..and I also have this odd thing..I use a hot washcloth with water after that as well.
Well I took a shower and washed EVERYWHERE as usual...and I really rinse myself. I felt fresh..and sat back down at my desk again..within a few hours..I smell it again...it's like it's **** stuck in my gut and it's just seeping thru my skin or something.
People must think I am nuts...they keep telling me I smell great..however, all I smell is a **** scent.
Please be honest! We are just talking about bodily functions..I know I have VERY acute senses, etc...but I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this..and how in the world can you keep yourself regular? I take metamucil and it still hardly does crap. (no pun intended) ;)

| Desperate to lose weight..so I'm gonna suffer from the depression from Phen
July 24, 2009 at 6:02 pm
|
| | Hey you guys
I haven't been back on for a while.
Well, I definitely lost weight on Phen..however, I could barely stick to it for 3 weeks...not because I wasn't changing my habits..but because it made me feel SO SO SO depressed and sluggish! I had phen rage and just felt like I was going to lose it. I cannot seem to find any answers as to why I do not get the high other people have etc. I have the EXACT opposite side effects that the majority of you have. Instead of being giddy, hyper, energetic...I am lethargic, depressed as hell, and moody. It feels like hell honestly.
However, phen actually does enable me to control my calories..with some effort, I am able to keep them at 1,500 average per day. I lost 7 pounds in just over 2 weeks the first time around..and I wasn't working out AT ALL and having more like 1,700 calories per day. That's not bad in my opinion.....if I were consuming less and working out a bit..I bet that could have been almost 10 pounds in just over 2 weeks.
Anyhow...I AM DESPERATE...it's sick..but I really am. I'm going to start my phen again tomorrow and try to suffer thru the hell for at least 30 days....but this time around..I am going to INSTANTLY get on my bike the second I take it. I noticed that it somehow, even though I feel zoned out, numb, and tired, makes me last soooooooo much longer on my bike. I normally have to agonize thru 10-15 minutes or working out....a few times on phen...I would hate the first 10 minutes or so...and then I would push myself and make it to 45 minutes...then I was like Forrest Gump..Ijust kept going and going..and made it to 1.5 hours! WTF???? Cracked out much???? That's soooo not like me.
I have a dilemma....I am 5'4 and I NEED to be down to 155-160ish by Halloween. If I can make it to the low 160s I will be SUPER happy. I BELIEVE that I am about 190 right now. So I have approx. 13 weeks to lose 30-40 pounds. I would LOVE to lose 40...but I am going to be realize and say I will lose 30 IF I maintain an average calorie consumption of 1,400 and workout at least 30 minutes EVERYDAY...I don't want to miss ONE day because I am going to see if I can ward off or at least alleviate some of those terrible depression side effects if I stick to aerobics as it releases feel good chemicals into your body and helps to regulate you. I am scared, as the depression gets pretty severe feeling, IMO, but I just HAVE to lose the weight.
If that goes well..I only have one last worry..Constipation..which I am about to post another thread on. :eek: |
| Phen doc in Southern MD

| | I am currently going to a doc in greenbelt who gives you 3 weeks worth and a b12 shot for $70.00 You get the pills right there in the office. I was wondering does anyone know of any doctors that will write you a script for at least a month or two. I am so bad about going to the doctors so often!! and the cost seems high to me. |
| Challenge: Couch Potato to 5K Runner
July 24, 2009 at 2:44 pm
|
| | Ok so I started biking yesterday and went about 8.5 miles in 35 minutes, today I did the same distance in 30 minutes. I would like to add another cardio to my program and have always wanted to be a runner. I found this program on another site I use (sparkpeople.com) and really wanted to share it with the group. I am hoping I can get a few other people to start this challenge with me at the same time. We can help boost and motivate each other to keep chugging along. Here is the program details:
The Couch-to-5K Running Plan
Our beginner's running schedule has helped thousands of new runners get off the couch and onto the roads, running 3 miles in just two months.
By Josh Clark
Posted Wednesday, 25 October, 2006
Too many people have been turned off of running simply by trying to start off too fast. Their bodies rebel, and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to do this to themselves.
You should ease into your running program gradually. In fact, the beginners' program we outline here is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The idea is to transform you from couch potato to runner, getting you running three miles (or 5K) on a regular basis in just two months.
It's easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. Don't try to do more, even if you feel you can. If, on the other hand, you find the program too strenuous, just stretch it out. Don't feel pressured to continue faster than you're able. Repeat weeks if needed and move ahead only when you feel you're ready.
A few minutes each week
Each session should take about 20 or 30 minutes, three times a week. That just happens to be the same amount of moderate exercise recommended by numerous studies for optimum fitness. This program will get you fit. (Runners who do more than this amount are doing it for more than fitness, and before long you might find yourself doing the same as well).
Be sure to space out these three days throughout the week to give yourself a chance to rest and recover between efforts. And don't worry about how fast you're going. Running faster can wait until your bones are stronger and your body is fitter. For now focus on gradually increasing the time or distance you run.
Run for time, or run for distance
There are two ways to follow this program, to measure your runs by time or by distance. Either one works just as well, choose the option that seems easiest for you to keep track of. If you go with the distance option, and you are not using a track to measure the distances, just estimate. It's not important to have the distances absolutely exact.
Before setting out, make sure to precede each session with a five-minute warmup walk or jog. Be sure to stretch both before and after. Read "Stay Loose" for some suggestions.

When you have over a hundred pounds to lose, it can seem impossible. I try not to think about the long run- but on the same hand it's my biggest motivation. So, to all of you who truly understand- join me. I could really use the support.
I am desperate to lose these last 14 pounds to hit my first mini-goal. I am giving myself until August 31st to hit 250. What do you want to lose in August?

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.
