hey congrats!!! im mari and im new here and im kind of annoying lol!! i ask too much questions. anyway i had a question and im glad i came across someone who is 140 pounds. im 140 pouhds also and i also want to get to 120, but the ladies on here have told me that they find it weird that a doctor would give me phen being that i only have 20 pounds to lose. ut i dont understand how people like urself who is also 140 and needs 20 pounds to go, can still be on phen but its not recommended for me ???? the difference between u and i is that at 140 im at the biggest i have ever been, while u actually went all the way down to 140.. so if i shouldnt take phen because im not significantly overweight, wouldnt that mean that u should stop taking it too since ur only 20 pounds away from ur goal??? cuz im 20 pounds away from my goal too so i dont see the difference as to why people think i shouldnt even be on it.. i just went bla bla bla didnt i?? lol sorry

MJ, I have seen the posts. And just to let you know, I have to say that being 140lbs and 5'1" is not a healthy weight. I see that you were also below 110 before, me too. I have been on phen before, when I was 140 lbs but that weight gain was after each of my boys were born. I would get to 140 and stop. My previous doctors have stated that with my little bone structure 105/110 would be a great weight for me, but that was 20 years ago. I feel that 115/120 at my age would be better. My current Doctor and I, will be having that talk next month. I have enough wrinkles lol, I can't imagine my face with out a little fat to fill it out LOL. Don't let it get ya down, we will get there!! I am looking you up on myspace. And you are right, there is no difference 20-25 lbs is just that and that is unhealthy. We, just like the bigger girls just want to be a healthier and happier us. On my space you will recognize me I use the same avatar pic.

Chiquita, thank you. You are doing great also, just keep steady, watch the portions and keep drinking the water. Thanks ladies for all your support. Tammy

I'm so glad to still see you around! You look great and you deserve it! I agree that as long as you have weight to lose and your not healthy you have a right to lose weight with phen, its your body and your choice to use the product. Most people are surprised because most docs only prescribe to obese ppl so they can learn how to make good habits and then do it on thier own. Others just visualize 140 and think of the average height of a person and think that would be a great weight, they dont take in to account different heights and frames people have. My sister is 5'1 and she looks best at 115-120, shes in the 130's right now and it shows really bad, she cant hide weight...where I am 5'7 and 188 lbs now with a big frame, most people tell me I look skinny already, but my goal is 160..so you just do your own thing to be healthy!

[taccuddles]

Thank you all!! I appreciate the compliments! You all will get there. Just keep doing what you are, you all are doing great too!! Best of luck to everyone on their weight loss journey!! and make sure you keep posting pics. I know for me they were always the best motivation!! Usually other people can see the changes we sometimes can't see ourselves. And take measurements, sometime the scale doesn't move but the inches definitely are. Take care and Good Luck!!!

HI there. I am starting on Tuesday and I am in the same boat as you. I want to lose about 20lbs. I am 168 but very muscular, just kinda got that first years marriage that I can't seem to get rid of. I want to be 145. ( when i am this weight people say i look anorexic) but at first my doctor told me that I need to just use diet and exercise. Which I do PLENTY of with no results. I conviced her and she agreed that she would put me on it for my 20 lbs and I was on my own after that. :(
