Hi everyone, I just found this board, so I'm hoping it will help me with my journey toward weight loss. I'm about 5'5 and am weighing about 250, my highest weight ever (without being pregnant) I'm looking at a long term goal of getting back to about 130ish. Hoping I can find a buddy to help me along the way.

Hey Ang, TY! I went today to my dr to get my pills. He prescribed phentermine and phendimetraz, along with a water pill I take in the morning. I used to be on them about a yr ago, after looking at my chart today I gained 50 pounds in a year, YIKES!!!! So I just filled my script, and DAy 1 is tomorrow. I hoping to get to 200 first, then go down from there!

Weel with the pills I was never hungry, so I'm hoping it will be the same again. OH and good news! This lasy from my freecycle group was trying to get rid of her gazelle exercise machine and let me have it. So now i have something to workout on here at home. I'm sooo hoping I can do this , this time.

Weel all you can do is jump right back. I've been doing ok, the pills curb my appetite so I am hardly hungry at all, if I do eat, its barely anything. I started Sat morning and lost 10 pounds so far. I'm sure its water, but hey my scale moved LOL. Let me know how today was

yep 10 pounds in 4 days, im down to a 12 pound loss now. I take 2 different pills, so that may be why it seems to work for me. I take phentermine at 11 am and then i take phendimetraz at 4 pm, in addition to a water pill in the morning. It hasnt even been a full week and im down 12 so im thankful, i have so much more to lose though. ,,,,I have been doing the gazelle, but not as often as i would like, so gonna try to do better with that

i weighed my self today and I'm glad cause I got a little bit more off.I'm also gonna wait until like 9 am or 10 am to take my meds instead of 6 or 7. so maybe that might help.have you noticed if your clothes got looser or anything yet? keep up the good work your doing good though, it's been harder for me to stick to my exercises too. I wouldn't mind trying the gazelle maybe I'll try to get one for christmas.see you on later

Glad you are doing good!! I noticed some of my pants are a little looser, but other seem to just look better on me lol I have noticed my stomach has gone down some. That seems to be my biggest problem area. I'm gonna try to get in the habit of doing my tae bo, i'm just soo tired after work. I guess I'll just have to force myself, if i want the results!
