Looking for a buddy/ies wanting to lose around 80 pounds - Phentermine.com

MiSsJoLi · August 20th, 2001, 10:30 AM

My stats are 5'4 233/?/150. I would eventually like to get down around 130, but 150 seems far enough away. I am going to start checking this site a couple of times a day. I need all the support I can get.

MiSsJolie, I feel your pain. Being an extremely sensitive person can be a blessing because you can comfort others with your empathy and love. Those people who know yu will always love you for you. But, I know how much the way you look is a huge part of who you are. It's not vanity. It just is. I felt the same shame and fear of seeing someone I know who "knew me when". You are doing something immensely wonderful for yourself. You will lose the weight. I am cheering for you. Please be good to yourself. Even if you don't feel beautiful, YOU ARE!! Take care of yourself.

MargoV

P.S.: I saw your response over where I orginally posted, (NEED A FRIEND). Thank you so much for posting.

Hey, Girl. I am 31 yo, female. I'm 5'4 3/4" and I needed to get rid of 80-85 pounds. When I started I weighed 225. Now I'm now holding on to for dear life 194. I've been using Adipex for 3 1/2 months. Get depressed and aggravated easily. Maybe we can swap horror tales.(about how we ended up needing to lose so much!.....??)

MiSsJoLi · August 26th, 2001, 03:00 PM

Hey MizB...thanks for the reply. It's always nice to hear that someone else understands. I need all the support I can get right now. Today was a pretty good day, but there are bad ones. Hope to hear from ya again soon.

MizBhavn2day · August 29th, 2001, 11:20 PM

Miss, Seems I have maore bad days than good lately. Not that I'm messing up or anything. Just a lot of doubts. I am married to the most wonderful man. He loves me and wants me healthy. Tells me all the time that my weight doesn't matter to him. Problem is.. he is slim, sexy, and almost perfect. So what is the problem? Well, I feel so FAT and ugly. Why do those words go so well together? Fat and ugly. Anyway, it seems the more I lose the further away my goal appears to be. It takes so long! I know I know.. I remind myself all the time that I didn't out it on quickly either, but..... You know. And on the one day I manage to feel good about all that I have accomplished, someone steals that from me. My sister is good at that. I try not to even be around her if I can help it. Or, if I think I look godd and you can really tell that I've lost. Then I'll run into someone who doesn't even know that I am trying to lose, and they don't notice. When is this thing gonna really show up? I have lost 30 pounds and no one seems to be able to tell. I can hardly tell. My clothes don't fit too well and that is the only thing that shows me besides the scales. I am just impatient.

How long have you been at this anyway. I've been doing it for about 3 1/2 months. Actually, 3 months and 3 weeks. I will go to the doctor next week. I am so afraid. I always get this way. I am afraid that I haven't lost enough, or any. Or even worse and I have gained. Will they take me off of Adipex if that happens? I know you don't know my doctors, but do you know if they typically do? I think I have hit a plateau. I haven't lost any more since ???? Still holding at 194. I thought I would get further than this before I plateaued.

Anyway, I truly understand and I too am glad to meet others who "get it", My sweet husband trys to, but he has never been here, you know?

Hope to hear from ya soon.

MiSsJoLi · August 30th, 2001, 05:25 PM

Hey MizB...I know what you mean about those bad days. I have only been on it for about 2 and a half weeks, so I am definitely not experienced. I don't feel like it is working all that well for me. I think I need to go to 30 mgs. I havent been on a scale and won't until I go to the doc on sept. 10, but I too am afraid of failing. I have a wonderful boyfriend that has been with me through all the weight gain, and he has no problems with his weight. He has been very supportive and tells me he loves me no matter what too, but I can't believe that he doesn't wish I was thinner. It affects my everyday life. I hate to go anywhere because I am scared somebody will see and recognize me from when I was skinny. I was an wthlete in high school, so I have never really been over weight...at least not like this. Maybe 10 punds or so, but not 80-100. I feel afraid to fail, and it gets me down. I have had a hard time just in these two weeks, but I feel like I am determined. You need to stick with it. I am sure it will get better, then worse, then better agin. When you feel down, post it or email me and let it all out. Thats what I have tried to do. It helps. Thats what we are all here for. I could never do it without your alls support. I am rooting for you. You have come A LONG WAY SO FAR! 30 lbs. is such an accomplishment that you should be proud of. I don't know you, but for you to have lost 30 pounds, I know you have it in you to keep going. It's not easy now, and will probably never be easy, but that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. You are an inspiration for me to keep going. I hope you cheer up. If you want, you can email me at ****************** anytime you feel down. Keep your head up. You are doing a great job!

Hey, Miss J, I sent an email to someone on the same internet provider that I have. As you can see, the email address that you posted has been edited out. I am trying to find you. I looked in the buddy directory listings and pulled up a profile that I believe is you. Anyway, if you don't get that email I was wrong and someone out there thinks I'm a perv or something. Just wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten you and I'm trying to find you. Miz

MizBhavn2day · August 31st, 2001, 10:20 PM

One more thing- I can't wait til I get your email right to tell someone. I think the plateau is over. I found a 192 on the scale today!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH!! YIPEEEEEE!!!! YEEEEEEHAAAAAHHHH!!!! WHOOOMP WHooooow!

MiSsJoLi · September 1st, 2001, 03:10 PM

dawn, wow...5'10 and your goal weight is 135? You are going to be nonexistant! I was 133 when I graduated and in a size 8 and I am only 5'4 and a half. My goal weight now is 150...Hope you are careful and dont try to lose too much! Good luck.

MiSsJoLi · September 1st, 2001, 03:13 PM

Okay, MizB Let me try this again..*************

[Note: This message has been edited by Jipi]

MizBhavn2day · September 2nd, 2001, 12:58 AM

DUHHHH!!! I left off the 22.

Hey Dawn! I'd love to help you in any way I can. Read the post on the experience board for starters. And believe me- all those water pushers are right. Wish I'd known about phen at 23 yrs. I'd already be skinny me.

I am far from expert- just burst into tears over post on experience board. But, we all try real hard, all have set backs, all have weaknesses, all have doubts. But, consider this side as well, we all have knowledge, all have desire, all have hearts, all care, all have courage, and are all in this together.

dawn4598 · September 2nd, 2001, 05:19 AM

Hey, Yeh I think 135 is maybe to skinny. That was my weight before I became pregnant. And I would love to get close to that again. I dont know I will just lose the weight and see how far I want to go. I hope you all will be here to support me. So anyone with progress please let me know. I have lost 7lbs in 3 days so far So i know this is going to work for me. Please write me anytime. Bye and God Bless

MizBhavn2day · September 3rd, 2001, 12:21 AM

Dawn, why on earth do you have a frowny face? You are doing great!! I do want to warn you that you will not lose weight at the same pace that you lose it initially. It seems we all drop more in the beginning. That is when there is the biggest change in your diet. So, just wanted you to know that and not get discouraged. **********. Maybe that won't get edited out and you can get it. Sorry but we can't just type it in.

I doubt I am much of inspiration but I have an ear, a shoulder and a heart. So e-mail me anytime.
