Do you keep track of your measurements? Or how your clothes fit? Many people in here have posted about how the scale might say one thing but their numbers/clothes tell a different story. You can't get bogged down in a number on the scale. As I posted above, I don't necessarily feel lighter or like I've even really been dieting at all but my pants are SO much looser! I keep track of my inches and see that I've definitely gone down in my stomach and thigh area which is great. But really my biggest test are these two pairs of "skinny" jeans I have. I can determine how well I am doing by slipping those on and seeing how they fit. Before Phen both pairs were very tight (ugh, muffin tops!) and the bottoms of the jeans were higher- now they are a lot looser and the bottoms skim the floor. That is the most clear indicator I have that I'm on the right track!

Hi- I'm new as of today, nice to meet you guys.I am 5'9" 162 lbs on thursday and on phen since thursday but just started doing a dr. supervised weight loss program yesterday. My goal is 140 I have never been that low I have been 145 and that was just a couple months ago. I have been on a binge non stop and I knew I had to do something now.I use to weigh about 240 in 91' and have kept most of it off but I tend to go up and down about 20 lbs sometimes and I'm just so afraid to gain it all back. Im tall so I dont look as much as I weigh like you tall girls. I take a 10 and there getting tight with this weight gain. I had lipo on my outer thighs in march so I don't want to screw that up. You don't gain in the same place so now my stomach looks big. So I spend all that money and then go and gain 20-25 lbs. I'm beating myself up I guess. Also, I have a question, where can I get phendimetrazine online without a script. Everyone seems to be ordering online. And if I order do they charge you a monthly fee too?? Thanks and I am really enjoying this site and it is very motivating.Tammy

Hi fellow tall ladies.
My name is Aleasha and I am 6’1 and weighing in around 164 and a size 8. I am 32 and a mother of two boys.
While I am not considered overweight, I am still unhappy with my size. If there were such a term I guess you could best describe me as a tall petite, meaning I am small in bone structure. So while I can usually get away with 10 pounds on my frame, the clothes just don’t fit well.
I just recently separated from the military and my current job requires me to sit at a computer all day thus the added weight. Well actually I think my love of cheese fries may be to blame
Anyway, I have been reading this particular blog; and I am so glad there are others out there. I get so tired of people saying that I am thin; it is so different when you are tall.
So my goal is to return to my normal weight of 150 or so which makes me a solid 6.

Hello my to all the tall people on here. My name is Crystal and this is my first time using phentermine. I am very excited to see my results at the end of my first week. I am in college and i have had a hard time not gaining weight. My freshman year I did nit gain a freshman 15 I gained a freshman 30. My weight had reached its highest at 262 and I coundn't believe it. I did lose it by using the nutrisystem diet. Unfortunately this diet cost almost $300 a month and I could not afford to stay on it. Now I have gained back 21 pounds and I am devastated. But i have faith that I can lose it plus more. I want to get down to 180 lbs. I will keep you all updated with my progress.

Woot! Down another 1.5 lbs! Hello 150's!!!! It is my TOM reeeeeally bad (ugh!) though so I'll be more interested in next week's weigh-in. I don't mind that I'm not losing as much as my first week because I want to lose slowly and consistently so I actually keep it off when I go off the phen. All I know is that the scale says I've lost about 9 lbs so far and I just couldn't be happier. All my clothes fit SO much better. The only thing that makes me upset is a while ago I bought this GORGEOUS dress (sz 10) to wear to a friend's wedding this past weekend. On Saturday I put on the dress and it was too big! I still wore it anyway but some people commented it looked a little loose. I love it so much but oh well! I'm sure I'll find another dress and love it even more because it's a smaller size! woo hoo!

Hello there,
I'm brand new to this and I ordered Phen a few days ago and it should be here shortly. I'm 5'9 so this threat really appealed to me. I never know what to think about scale numbers when others talk who are shorter. It always makes me feel super fat! Im at 141 lbs today and my goal weight is aroudn 130. To be honest, these days I'm the lightest I've been in my whole life but it's still not enough. My sister is a runway model at 5'11 and super thin (She was on America's Next Top Model.) Try standing next to her in a room!!

I started looking at your posts to see what I can expect from trying the Phen. I just want my hunger to go away so I don't eat as much throughout the day. I am on the go a lot with my job so it's very easy to do a drive through somewhere and eat all of those awful calories. It also feels good to be in control of something and not so out of control, as I have been lately.
Wish me luck and I'll keep posting my progress!!

Woo! I haven't posted in like a month! I've been so busy at work it's insane. Phen is still working well for me. My appetite is back but still no where near as ravenous as it used to be. I stopped eating strictly "diet" foods and have started eating pasta and taco bell (my downfall!) and even some candy here and there. The difference is that I don't eat nearly as much as I used to so I've still been losing weight! Honestly it's been great and all my friends who I haven't seen a long time absolutely freak out when they see me I haven't weighed myself recently but I think I'm down around 15 lbs now. I'm going to weigh myself this weekend and get the offical number.

Eh but numbers don't matter to me right now- I had to go out and buy new jeans and new work pants bcause my other pants are just too big! For a while I was getting away with them being a bit "baggy" but finally someone pointed out to me that no one can see my cute body if I have all this fabric hanging down off my butt now! I agree.. haha as if I need a reason to go shopping I also had to buy new bras as I went from a 36 to a 34 around (and down a cup size too- boo hiss!) and new dress shirts because all my old ones are so much wider than "me" now. Sometimes it still blows my mind when I walk past the mirror and catch a glimpse of a "skinny" girl walking by. Still can't believe it's me.... I'm not a rail and I'll never be a rail but I'm thrilled to be where I am now. I honestly owe it all to Phen. It's been the ONLY thing that has worked for me in all these years of diets, personal trainers, endless gym sessions and on and on.

I'm almost at the end of my 2 months supply now. I think I'm going to take a month off and then renew the prescription in December. I'm going to be going back on birth control then so I want to be able to combat any weight gain that comes along with that. Anyways, I want to hear more tall girl success stories!!! Please write in your updates- good or bad

I'm sure glad that I'm not the only one who hears, " I can't believe you weigh that much!!"

I'm 5'9" and my starting weight is 209. I'd like to get down to 160. I just started Phen yesterday. I haven't stepped on the scale yet. The suspense is absolutely killing me. . . .

Hi I am not a tall girl... but I am a tall boy.

6.3 and currently 270. broad shoulders used to be well built. Never been so fat. It kinda creeped up on me. Slowly over 4-5 years. Working as Tech support and sitting 9 hours a day didnt help either. Was lazy to go to Gym ... family two kids. wife. busy busy.

and I was thiking. I am ok. dont look too bad. and recently i realized that I am waaay fat and out of shape. second chin started slowly showing up. and fat is spread out through out the body. I needed a motivation. A kick start. My goal is to Lean out. Loose body fat and then starting to build micles.

So I started phen 4 days ago and running. I hope to drop to 200. So far feeling good.

Welcome! We have room for tall guys too! I think someone your height should be in the 220 range depending on body type, but then again, I like guys on the big side. If you are motivated (and it sounds like you are) then you'll see results soon I'm sure. Good luck!
