I guess I should clarify things. I started losing weight in late May, 1998 when I weighed 425 pounds. I achieved my pre-phen loss through diet and exercise but found myself in a holding pattern the past 2 months and I did not want to regain any weight. So, on 4/10, I started taking a 30mg capsule of Phen. to jump start my weight loss again. This is the first time I have ever tried a medication for weight loss and I was shocked to see I lost 12 pounds 17 days. I already have learned to eat healthy but found my portion sizes were too big. With Phen. I can eat a smaller portion of the SAME healthy foods, keep my calorie intake to @ 1200-1400, and the weight is coming off again.
I have now lost a TOTAL of 223 pounds and I weigh 202 pounds. My goal is 125 pounds so that leaves 77 pounds to go. Yup, that means 300 pounds in total to make goal. I hope that clears up any confusion my original post created. Thanks so much for replying to me. It's nice getting to know new people who share a common goal.
