Before After

One month on Phentermine and.....

I am down 24.8 pounds!!!  The phentermine really helps curb my appetite.  I am so happy with the results!!!  I even managed to do well with Thanksgiving dinner.  I didn't even want seconds.  All of my clothes are fitting loosely on me.  Pretty soon I will need to buy new clothes.  Can't wait!!

What is going on????

I am so confused.  Saturday morning, my home scale said 227.6.  But this morning, it said 230!!  WTF?!?!  I haven't been doing anything different......taking phen, watching what I am eating, and drinking tons of water.  I still haven't started exercising.  I expected the weight loss to slow down at some point.......but gaining weight?????  I am not gonna let it get me down, though. I have decided to take a different approach....at least with taking the phen.  Before today, I have been taking it about an hour or so before breakfast.  It was working doing it that way, but obviously it's not now.  So....today I tried taking it AFTER breakfast (about 2 hours).  I am feeling like I have more energy now.....and it is later in the day.  Hopefully this approach will work.  I am still trying to find a way to work exercise into my schedule.  UGGHHHH!!!  I wish this wasn't so hard!!  Oh and I'm working on posting a pic.  Hopefully it will be up by the time somebody reads this.  Haha!!

First week on Phentermine

So after my first week on Phentermine, I am extremely pleased with the results.  According to my scale at home, I am down 14 pounds!!!!  Yay!!  My clothes are already feeling looser on me.  My diet is going well, since I don't feel very hungry on the phentermine.  I haven't started exercising yet but I will soon.  I want to wait until the weight loss starts to slow down a bit.  That way I will be able to continue to lose instead of hitting a plateau. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am well on my way, and I am feeling confident with my success!!

First Post!!

So I am new to this site and kind of new to blogging as well.  I will just give you a little bit of background info on me.  My name is Jessica, I am 29 years old, and I have had a weight problem most of my life.  Last Tuesday (Oct. 28, 2009), I went to the doctor to see if I could get on something to help facilitate some weight loss.  I am so tired of being FAT!!!  The scale at the office said 244.8.  I wasn't surprised....I knew it was that high.  Ugghhh!!  So the doctor put me on an 1800 calorie diet and prescribed Phentermine.  I LOVE Phentermine!!!!!!  I started taking it last Wednesday.  The first day I was ZIPPING through the day.  What an energy boost!  The next day the extreme energy was gone but I still had plenty of energy.  Today the energy is still there and it has been 5 days on the pills.  I have already lost 11 pounds!!!  Of course I was wearing heavy clothes and had just eaten a ton before being weighed at the doctor's office.  And this morning I weighed myself on an empty stomach with hardly any clothes on at home.  But still there is for sure a significant weight loss in only a few days!!  I know that the weightloss will slow down a lot but for now I am very happy.  I am well on my way to my goal of 135 pounds.  Yay!!!
