new and need a weight loss buddy - Phentermine.com

Hi!
I am new to the forum and Phen. Just took my first pill today. I had a baby and my husband was deployed to Iraq shortly after. I just havent been able to get the weight off this past year.
I dont have much to lose- I am at 145 pounds and I'd like to get down to 130 pounds over the next 12 weeks. But most importantly, I'd like to start making wiser food choices and really get into keeping in shape so that when I do get to my goal weight and get off Phen, I am living a "new" lifestyle and set an example for my son on eating right and being active.
Does anyone who needs to lose some weight over the next 3 months want to join me?
Also, does anyone know how long it is ok to stay on Phen? is 3 months too long? I am at the 37.5 mg dose.

From what I've heard and what my dr. has said, you can stay on for about 3 months but then have to come off for a while (about a month I think) but then you can go back on. Other people I know that have taken phen have said that the month off is hard because you will probably have your normal appetite back and it will be hard not to undo all the work you've done.

You can easily lose 15 in 3 months! Good luck!
