New Phen User.. any words of advice?

[Angie1967]

I got my prescription yesterday.... left the Dr. office with paper in hand... to begin finding the OLD ME... that I know is here somewhere. I'm so excited to begin my journey, but a little apprehensive as well.... I have so much to learn.... and I tell myself, take it one day at a time. My initial goal is to lose @ 50 lbs. From reading the success stories I believe that is obtainable. However, so not to get discouraged I also have set mini goals.

If anyone has any advice .... words of wisdom.... words to encourage, cheer me on... would love to hear from you....

Today is the first day of the rest of my life......

THANKS... !!!!

This is a great site for support, questions, and words of encouragement. I just joined yesterday and am new to Phen too. I am on day 3 and have lost 2.5 lbs. To be honest, the first two days were horrible. Like a lot of folks have stated, the first week is the worst for the negative side affects. I joined this site too for the encourgement because I didn't know if I could make it through these past 2 days. Day 3 has been better. I drank more water today and have not had the headache that I had the other 2 days. I am still a little queezy and light headed, but starting to get better. I bought some sugar-free gum to try to help with the dry bad taste in my mouth. Here is to the thinner days ahead-good luck!

The only thing I can tell you is to exercise. You will lose a lot more weight that way. I've taking it since Saturday and I've lost about 2 pounds a day. I work out for at least an hour every day.

I spent a lot of my day today browsing the web site.... reading the success stories, the stuff in the forums.... I'm about as pepped up as I am going to be. I'm dreading the side effects.. I am getting the prescription filled tomorrow and will start taking them Friday... so I will have the weekend for the most likely, worst two days of side effects ( hubby will be home some to deal with the kids )...

I already drink a ton of water, love to walk and plan to get a bicycle for my birthday which is July lst. Everyone here is soooo eager to help each other though, I love love love it!!!

And last.. how do you get the weight loss tickers on here ??? I haven't figured that one out yet... lol

I use one from tickerfactory.com or if you go to extrapounds.com you can get them from there.. it will give you the code and you just cut and paste it into your signature.

ok, i tried that, now i guess i have to post something to see if it works or not.... lol Have to get hubby to take some "before" photos of me for here too I guess... so I can track my progress.....

I am sooo excited to begin my journey.....

Thanks for your help... hope the ticker posts....

To show weight loss do I go back to that website to change that or how does that work ?
