Hi, I thought I'd post here as well. Also new to this website and a one week user of Phentermine. I have gained my extraordinary girth with love - love of food, and love of having children(heredity also snuck a whammy on me) Anyway, my father passed away from a heart attack over a year ago while I was pregnant with my last child. I made a pact with myself that when I was done with my pregnancy and nursing I would commit to whatever it takes to drop the weight, not just for myself and my own health but for my children. I want to make sure I am around for them for a very long time.

So here I am 1 week using phen, and it has been a miraculous tool for me. I have no problem with exercise or being on a sensible diet. My problem has always been the desire to binge and cravings. The phen has short circuited my brain somehow and taken away those cravings. I have chips(salt), choclate covered m&m's(choclate), and Frosted Flakes(sugar)in the house and have no desire to eat them. My first week has been astounding. I have lost 7 pounds. I still have a long way to go but I know with my cravings under control I have a real chance to change my eating habits for good.

It's nice to have support through this website and to see everyones pictures. I will have to post some when I get to my first goal of below 200. Thank you everyone for helping me with inspiration.
