I started taking phen on nov. 13, which including today has been 5 doses. When I weighed this a.m. I was down 8 lbs so far. Can this actually be? Is it possible to lose that much in 5 days? Do the people who have more weight to lose, lose it faster than those who only have 10 or 15 pounds? I need to lose between 50 and 60 pounds. I've started walking today, and tomorrow, I may start the weight training.

Hi momcat,
Some of your wieght in the first week is inital water weight. but yes it is probably gone for good. Your first week is usually your largest weightloss week. Yes it is true that the heavier you are the more calories you burn exercising! You will probably even out to two- three lbs loss per week (that is the safest). Also remember that muscle weighs more that fat so if you start to slow down on the weightloss and you seem to be doing the same routine...that is probably why.
By the way welcome and good luck!
