I need advice

[RN-MOMMA]

I want to hear from someone who was taking phentermine and kept the weight off. I am just afraid that when I stop taking the phentermine that it will come back again like in the past. Although now I have modified my diet and excerise 5 x week 1500 cal/day. I think I am looking for reassurance or at least some tips from some of you who are apart of the success stories.

Hi Rn-momma
I am in Las Vegas too. I just started phen around the same time as you so I am not a success story yet. Just wanted to say hi to a neighbor! Good Luck

babyphat,
How has your sister maintained her weight? Is she still taking the phen? How long has she been on it?

Rn-Momma,
Unfortunately, my sister still takes phen. She has been on it since 9/03 and lost the majority of her weight by 12/03. I think she is still losing weight, but at a really slow rate. She doesn't need it to lose any more weight. She is really almost too skinny.I think she is psychologically addicted. She has never been as thin as she is now, and she is afraid of getting fat. She gets positive reinforcement from people telling her that she looks great and that they can tell she has lost a lot of weight. She doesn't work out at all and I think if she did, she might be able to stop. I have begged her to get off the phen but she won't listen to me. After getting on the phen, I have to say that I can see how it can be addictive when you can lose so much weight so quickly.

babyphat,
See that's what I am afraid of. I don't have an addictive personality but I am afraid that once I stop then it will all come back like it did last time. Although I've made some modifications such as eating healthier and excersise. I think when I reach my goal weight then I will ask my Dr. to put me on a maintence period. I take the 37.5 white w/ blue speckles. I have to break it in half and take one half when I get up and the other half around 11 am, since it has me wired for sound if take the whole thing at once. So maybe once I reach my goal weight I will just take half a pill a day until I wean myself and manage my weight at the same time. Where do you live near? I am near Green Valley.

Hi Rn-Momma,
My sister first started on the 37.5 and switched to the 30mg blue and white capsule. She said she had better results with the 30mg. She does have an addictive personality and is lazy. Like I said, if she exercised it probably wouldn't be an issue. I live in the Silverado Ranch area.
