Im wondering, after you are off Phen, how likely are you to put the weight back on?
Starting weight:199.5 - 3/16/10
Goal weight: 130 - July

This is an interesting question, and a good one, I think. I started on Phentermine on December 5, 2009, and will be taking my last pill on Saturday. The last 14 pills I had I cut down to taking one every other day, at my dr.'s suggestion, to kind of try to "wean" myself off of them. I haven't really noticed an increase in appetite (thank GOD) but I no longer have that "I don't care if I ever eat again" feeling. I think I'll miss that, it was empowering! lol
I have been exercising almost daily, I'd say an average of 6X a week, and have lost a total of 43 pounds so far (oh, I have to update my profile!). Since I've been working on this for the past 3 months and it has developed into a habit for me, I don't think it'll be too hard to continue to lose after Saturday. I've also been taking many different kinds of vitamins and supplements that seem to be helping me a lot. :)

Thats Great! :o
I just started taking Phen yesterday, i was full of energry as i am today. yesterday when i took it, it was about 8:30, 9 o'clock am, my doctor said to either take it an hour before i eat or 2 hours after, i opted for the hour before and i wasnt hungry all day, i had to force myself to eat through out the day. About an hour after i took it along with this energy pill she gave to me to take with the Phen, i felt very jittery, that went away within 2 hours or so, and today no jittery feeling. I've been drinking alot of water, yesterday about 90 oz or so. I have been going to the gym as well, i figured i should start working out before i start with the Phen so i went and got a membership and have been going for 3 weeks now. I go about 3-4x a week. So i figure with the Phen, energy pill, vitamin, exercise and eating right (or atleast healthy) i will be able to get back down to 125-130!
Keep me posted after you are done taking Phen, as i would like to know what to expect, and try and prepare myself for.

Well my last script I took about 2 pills out of and haven't used any more and I still lost over 10 lbs in the last month.... I keep researching new healthy ways to eat and learn as much as possible about nutrition and I don't beat myself up if I want to have something that maybe isn't great... I just get past it and keep going

About 2 weeks before i started taking Phen i started a "new" diet, just healthy foods, watching what i am eating, how much i am eating and calories.
I think the vitamin is defanitaly needed, i have been taking the womens 1 a day multi-vitamin.
How much did you lose your first week? And what have you averaged monthly?
