Hello everyone! I am glad to be here but scared. I have tried every diet there is, but nothin works and I exercise 4 to 5 times a week. I went to the doctors for anxiety & depression this Wednesday. She told me that the reason why I have gained weight is due to the chemical imbalance from depression & anxiety. So I started taking Phentermine on Oct. 8th and I also started Weight Watchers on Oct. 6th. I hope it works. Has anyone been through the same path as I have. Please let me know..I need help.

hey - it's ok to be scared, but stick with this - you could see results soon or not, but even if you don't SEE the results, your body knows, and is getting healthier. I went through long times where I didn't see the results, but when I got my cholesterol checked and it was down, I realized that not all results can be measured by looking in the mirror...God bless you as you start this new journey...like the Santa said to the snow dude in that old clay-mation Christmas story..."You put one fut in front of the other..." :D

You may be the last person to notice results....And even when the scale moves you see may not see.....This happened to me in the reverse... I was 105 and 2 kids later 158.......( well now 142 I started a week ago and weight drop off me really quite if i can keep my face out of a bag of M&M's)..I have a point.... and it is that I still see a size 2 and not a 10 (which doesn't fit) Not until I looked a picture did I see myself fat....I still to this day go shopping and look at size 2 and really think I can fit into them...( and I don't think I need to tell you I CAN'T)
So you may not see your results when you look in the mirror....That's why you should take pics..If your eating less and healthy...your gonna lose the weight! It's just as simple as that :)

I LOST INCHES BEFORE I LOST POUNDS, CLOTHES STARTED GETTING REAL LOOSE, AND I COULDN'T WEAR MY RINGS. I'M DOWN 11 POUNDS IN 5 WEEKS. NOT A HUGE SUCCESS STORY BUT I HOPE IT HELPS TO MOTIVATE YOU. GOOD LUCK! YOU'LL DO GREAT!

Hi! I'm in my third week, and am down a solid 6 lbs. Mostly, though, I feel thinner; my clothes feel looser. I am a little shaky from the Phen, so don't want to take it more than 2 months, but all the right things with diet and exercise haven't worked for over a year now, and it just feels good to finally lose a little! I started at 163, am down to 157, and need to get to about 145. Keep on going! But do pay attention to good habits, and don't depend on the phen alone!
