Yay me......

I started Phen on May 10th and had 49lbs to lose, the 15mg's were no good for me and after a week I went up to the 30mg's, soooo much better. No side effects to speak of,I took Phen for 10 weeks without a break at all, now I take it every other day, occassionally missing 2 days. I have 15lb's left to lose and I didn't want to leave myself "stranded" so to speak, and I think this has been a good way to come off. I do not feel any hungrier and I also get a better quality of sleep on the nights I haven't taken it. I am still doing the 30's on alternate days, as the 15's were less than useless I do not want to lower the dose and resume daily consumption. It was always my intention to take Phen for 12 weeks, I am just beginning week 12 now, I have 20 tablets left ( I think)and I do not intend to refil the prescription, it has been fabulous and as someone else has said on this board......... Our little secret!!
If I begin to gain I will go back to Phen. This has been no walk in the park I might add, willpower definitely comes into play, I eat much healthier foods, no junk, no alcohol.
Good luck to anyone just starting out.....I'm thrilled with the results

Keep up the good work! I bet you're feeling great!

That is wonderful. this is my 2nd week taking 1/2 of a 37.5 mg. I am glad to know that its not just me. MY doctor wanted me to wait 3 wks b4 going to a full pill i think im going to ahead and start taking a whole pill on monday. It will have been 2 wks. I am hoping not to have too many side effect. Thank you for your story.

I didn't go to WW but I have been calorie-counting, sticking to 1000-12000 a day and eating all the good stuff, fruit veg etc.... No alcohol either.

I think that is really great! I only pray I can say the same thing in 12 weeks. I am on the yellow phen 30MG capsule. I have been on it for about 3 weeks now and I have lost about 14 pounds.

Do you workout a lot? About how much do you lose in a week? Sorry to ask so many questions, but your results are wonderful and just wanted some of your secrets. Anybody else have some secrets to their success please share! I love to hear about everyone's weight loss stories, they are so motivating!

I'm ashamed to say I don't work out at all.. I'm not a fan of exercise so walking is about as energetic as it gets! I was losing between 2-4lb's a week, slowed right down to 4-5lbs a month now, that's the way it goes when you've been dieting a while right? I know..I know.. I could speed it up with exercise but my Dr spoke very true words when he advised me on a weight-loss plan, "Evolution, not Revolution" If you try to change things too much you'll never stick with it. Therefore I have just smartened up a little, but I have most definitely cut all the C**p out of my diet.
Good luck all ;)

I started Phen in Nov last yr,,have lost 30 lbs total and several inches. I use it on occassion now but truely believe the secret is re thinking your eating habits and teh exercise! Im so addicted to the exercise and dont feel right if I havent done something every day. I went for a yrearly checkup in August and had lost 32 lbs since last august according to my Dr. He was very happy and told me I had done far better than most his patients, they usually giv eup after a month or two. I always hit a point on weight and stay there for about 1 month before dropping agian. Im hoping to drop another 5 to 8 bs but if not I cna be happy where I am. Ill always be grateful for the Phen and this forum for the motivation to get started........and I've dropped 2 sizes in pants and shorts! A lot of my clothes I still wear but they are baggy instead of tight!! Goodluck to you all!
