Looking for a Buddy in Minnesota :) - Phentermine.com

Italiangirl40 · January 26th, 2006, 09:07 AM

Hi. I am looking for a phen buddy who is from Minnesota and would like to chat daily with me.

I started Phen on Wednesday, January 18th and as of Monday, January 23rd, I have lost 3 lbs. I hope to keep going.

I started weight watchers almost 2 years ago and I am down 36.6 as of Monday. My portion control has been awesome. That was definitely my problem was the portion. I have a gazelle at home and do that periodically, but now that it is warming up, I walk 1 mile at lunch time and about 3 miles at night. Once spring and summer come, then I really will start walking.

Hope somebody joins me in this chat.

Hi there,

I'm not from Minnesota but I will be your buddy. I live in DC. I started taking Phen this week. My doctor agreed to give it to me for three months. I am at my highest weight 239 but then got a stomach virus and lost 7lbs the week of the 16th so that was the jump start to my weight loss. I hope we can keep each other encouraged.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Italiangirl40 · January 28th, 2006, 08:25 AM

Well thank you and yes, I would be honored. Come and join in. I don't mind who joins us. I just like to hear everyone's great success stories. Yes, I heard there was a nasty stomach virus going on here to. Today for some reason, I feel heavy and I took my first Phen at 10:30 on an empty stomach and I don't like that feeling at all so I followed it with a lean cuisine. And now I feel better.

I still weigh in at weight watchers and I feel like I am going to have a gain. I weigh in on Mondays. This is also the week of my TOM so that could be the problem. I also take spirono, a water pill daily too. So maybe it is just me, but I probably need more water and I will do that witin the next two days before weigh in. As I said previously, I take the 15 mg, but I may call my doctor and ask for a higher dosage, but I still have to think about that. It seems that everyone that is taking like the 30 or 37.5 always cuts their pills in half so I really have some thinking to do before I weigh in on Monday.

Well good luck to you and keep up the good work. Let's keep going together and before we know it, we both will reach our goals.

Nice chatting with you.

Hi Tammy,

My name is Lisa. A friend of mind is taking the 30 mg and it doesn't seem to be a big difference between our weight loss and we have been taking for the same time and she's also getting the B12 shots. I did weight watchers for a while but it just seemed to be helping me maintain my current weight and not loose. I may try it again to get the portion control down.

I did good this week in terms of my meals but today was kind of hard. The weekends are hard for me to determine what I am going to eat. I may get some lean cuisines or some smart ones for the weekends.

I am going to try and get back in the gym too. I was looking at myself in the mirror today and I was like "dang I have really put on the weight" But I'm glad that my doctor agreed to give me the phentermine for at least three months.

Well it's nice chatting with you today. Have a good weekend.

Italiangirl40 · January 29th, 2006, 09:59 AM

HI Lisa. So are you taking the 30 mg too or are you on something else? I am on the 15 and I may call my doctor tomorrow to see if he could up the dosage for me. Sometimes it seems like ot works and I totally know that it makes me feel fuller. There are days that I could only have like water and a vegie sub and that is all I feel like having. I don't want to get shakey and dizzy like some people say on these boards.

I walk 1 mile during my lunch hour, when it is not snowing or when it is not below zero and then once Spring time comes, I walk at night too and I usually complete 4 miles in one day so that always is nice and makes a person feel so much better.

I want to wish you the best of luck and keep me aware of your progress.

Ciao for now Lisa.

Tammy

rdy2loose · January 29th, 2006, 12:55 PM

Hi Tammy,

I am taking the 15mg now but I am thinking about calling my doctor and getting the 30mg as well. I am doing okay on it. For the first three days I felt fine but for the last two days I can't seem to get full enough. I've been reading the boards and it seems that I need to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I am going to see how I do over the next three weeks on the 15mg though. I haven't had any of the side effects like I hear people talking about on the boards just the dry mouth.

Keep up the good work on the walking. Walking five miles a day is awesome!!! When the weather gets warmer I will get back to walking and doing the water aerobics which I love. It's just way too cold for me to do that now.

I weigh in tomorrow so I will post it. I am hoping to see some progress but I am determined to loose the weight this year.

I wish you luck as well and I will talk to you soon.

Italiangirl40 · January 30th, 2006, 06:02 AM

Hi Lisa. I just got back from my weigh in at ww and I lost 4/10th of a lb. I probably won't call my doctor until I have been on the Phen for at least a month. My total loss for the month of January is 4.2 lbs., so that is great. If after one month, I feel that I need a little more juice, I will call my doctor and ask for the 37.5 mg of Phen, but I really don't want to have to rely on it.

I drink tons of water. I know at least for sure in a day I drink 100 oz plus more. Yesterday I drank tons of water. And yes, I also get the cotton mouth too. That is so funny that we are experiencing the same. One night I woke up in the middle of the night and I could barely talk because my mouth was so so dry. That was like when I first started, but now I only get it a little, but that would explain drinking so much water.

Well have a good week and keep in touch.

rdy2loose · January 30th, 2006, 07:05 AM

Congrats on the weight loss!!! Anything is better than nothing at all!!! I lost 1.5 lbs this week but I am going to incorporate more exercise and more water this week and see what happens.

You have a good week as well. Talk to you soon.

Italiangirl40 · January 30th, 2006, 10:15 AM

Huge congratulations to you too. That is a terrific loss.

Keep up the good work and I will chat with you tomorrow.

Hats off to you!

rdy2loose · January 31st, 2006, 05:17 AM

Thanks!! How are you doing this week? I hope all is well with you!

Italiangirl40 · February 1st, 2006, 03:49 PM

rdy2loose · February 3rd, 2006, 05:21 AM

You are doing great!! Congratulations!! Keep up the good work!

Italiangirl40 · February 3rd, 2006, 06:14 AM

Thank you very much. I did post on one tracker my weight loss since starting weight watchers and the other is the one when I started Phen. I am still on weight watchers too. I hope to have a loss on Monday at weigh in.

Rdy2loose - your numbers look wonderful. Keep up the good work. See it works for everyone, doesn't it. I am going to try not to take the Phen this weekend and see how I do. My portions have completely shrunk down in size and that is a good thing. There are some days that I really don't even feel like eating, but I do because I don't want to get sick.

Well off to basketball all day tomorrow. I coach our daughter's team and it is so much fun.

Have a nice weekend keep in control.

Keep smiling!
