Never Give Up in 2009 Challenge

You will have it back off in no time.

I didn't take my phen today and I can REALLY tell that I still need it. I really have the munchies! I'm going to stay below my calories, but I am munching on some yogurt right now, not too long after eating my lunch.

Yeah thats why I hate going off of phen because the hunger flows back to normal, thats why I believe what my doctor said about having a depleted hormone. He said phen affects a hormone in our brain which tells us when were full and happy. Without phen we dont get enough of this hormone or whatever it is and it tells us were hungry and need to eat when we dont need it. When we eat even less to lose weight this hormone thinks were starving and sends our bodies into starvation mode making it impossible to lose weight and gives us the yo-yo affect. He says that most ppl are never cured of this problem when they come off of phen and thats why they gain weight back, not because they didnt make good habits but because the hunger is too much. So when they come off of phen they will gain weight back because of the feeling of never being full, in this case he keeps you on low doses of phen so you dont gain the weight back, im lucky to have him.

Today I weighed in at 144.8. My plan for this week is to start phen on a regular basis, eat right and exercise.
Good Luck everyone.

hey guys, how is everyone doing? I'm doing ok, tom's here and so I feel drained and have my cravings. I am still eating well and I am getting more sleep because of it, hopefully it wont last too long and it will be over soon. I'm not weighing myself until TOM is over, its a pretty bad one, especially since it was 11 days late and the first one since starting phen. I'm trying to make sure I get all my water down and take a diuretic when I feel bloated/crampy so hopefully any water weight will go away soon. Plus I still have to make up for this past weekend, eating out, having some beer, and having cake for my birthday.

Thanks for this challenge!

I am new to Phen and this Forum, but within the past two weeks, I have dropped 10 pounds. I have to P.E. classes at school (One a tennis class the other a circuit training fitness course) so, I am getting in some good exercise.

I missed my Phen yesterday and ate like a crazy woman! Wow! I just took my phen right now and am thinking about everything I eat. I know one day I will be off of Phen, so I better pull it together and get my eat under control NOW!

Thanks for all of the input and support! I can't wait until I hit ONEderland...I am giving myself until Christmas. I have seen under 200 pounds in I don't know how long.

Have a great day!

That's what I am afraid of (the day when I no longer take Phen). I am building a tolerance to it and hopefully that is also helping in preparing me. I'm losing slower than what I would like, but I continue with my exercise and healthy food choices and it is becoming easier to do. Just don't ever give up and "shop" around until you find something that you are comfortable with and something that you can still do after phen..

Hello everyone, it has been months since I've been on here! I stopped taking Phen in May. So I went 6 months with out it. In those 6 months I had some pains and eventally found out I had to have my gallbladder taken out (it runs in the family) So now that that is taken care of, I went back to my dr. I had gained 23 pounds back. No surprise since I could only eat certain things with out sending me into a gallbaldder attack!!! Anyways. This is my second day back on. I'm feeling pretty good. It's a little tough, since I was back to my old eating habbits, but I'm excited to get this weight off again! He weighed me in at 205. So we'll see how this first month back goes!

Welcome back.

I also returned yesterday to this site and today I started my phen program. I have gained 11 pounds since late Aug. Today weight is 146.

My plan for this week. Walk every night, record calories on sparks and eat right.

Are we still weighing in on Wednesdays?

**JustaRandomGirl** · November 6th, 2009, 12:39 PM

I do my weigh in's on Friday's. I actually saw a 1lb loss this morning. I was worried because I was up a couple of lbs.... My diet hasn't been the best. I still stayed within my cals (but a little on the heavy side) but I ate out more, etc. Plus the easy access to Halloween candy didn't help any.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
