LISA...

Congrats!!!!! Now you can't just tell us something like that and not tell us what you did to loose all that weight.

Lisa,
Wow!! Way to go!! Now I have a few questions as to how you managed to lose a whole 26lbs. in a month. What type of food does your diet consist of? Are you exercising and if so , what type of exercise are you doing and how often? So far I have lost 30lbs. since the middle of March. I lost 21.5lbs. taking phendimetrazine and the rest on phentermine.I am so proud of you and your great accomplishment that I want to scream too. Once again way to go and I wish you much success in trying to lose even more weight!! Oh by the way how much are you trying to lose? Thanks for any answers you can provide.

Hey guys I gotta go to work now...but I'll answer as many questions as I can for now. First of all, I exercised 2-3 times a week in the beginning. and the within the last 2 weeks I've done little to no exercise at all. I have been watching what I eat, not eating after 6pm snacking on raw carrots and other fruits. Oh and the exercise that I've been doing is walking mixed with a little bit of a jog whenever I could. Also I drank lots and lots of water too. I hope this is good enough for now. I'll be back either when I get off work or tomorrow if you guys want to know more.. Loves Ya!

Oh, those early days. Back in '94 when I first took Phen/Fen, I lost 30 lbs that first month! Of course, I had a lot more to lose that first time. Lisa, I know you are so ecstatic!! Contrats! Keep going!

[Lisa]

Thanx Carol, I'm really trying

Lisa,
Hi. I just wanted to write you and say thank you for the advice you gave. I haven't been eating after around 6:00p.m. either and sometimes I don't eat after 3:00p.m. I have been walking and doing exercise tapes at home too. So far I have lost 33lbs. since the middle of March. I am just anxious for this stomach to disappear though. Any suggestions? Once again congrats on your success and good luck in trying to lose more!!!

Hey guys, first of all congrats on all the weightloss. I loved that first month I lost 25 pounds and about fell over. Well I started on March 6th and have lost 57 pounds and have 27 left but that is not my question. I have not had a problem with lose skin because I exercise the only place that won't tone is my arms I do free weights three times a week and I do light weights during Jazz three times a week. but they just won't give in. Does anyone have a suggestion.

HI Casey22: I too have flabby arms & a slight too much on the sides even though I lost 36lbs. I was 160lbs and am now 124lbs. Overall I look great, have a flat stomach - dont look to losey skin (my doctor says because all my life I was thin or in shape) until I had kids. I recently went to a weight trainer for a consultation (couldnt afford to actually have one). He gave me arm/back weight exercises (10lb dumbells). and its been almost 1 month and I am actually seeing the results. He said I couldnt lose anymore weight in my arms or probably back/sides - but I needed to tighten the areas. At first i was discouraged I wanted results in 2 weeks - but I am actually seeing the results as I am actually seeing the old me for the first time in 3 years. Keep at it - I still have a ways to go but I now know its working.

Tg31,
Hi. First of all I would like to say congrats on your weight loss!!! Now I have a question or 2. Have you always pretty much had a flat belly before you lost the weight or did you lose it when you lost the weight? My stomach is where I want to lose the most, but it is such a slow process for me. Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Teresa

well first of all this is my second time with phentermine.i've been on it now for about 2 weeks. but the first time around...
i weighed 186 lbs. and in 2 to 2 1/2 months
i was 140. i will tell u the truth i never exersized. still ate alot of the same food.
but the thing is ...is i drank a lot of water. plus the pill made me not eat all the time. and the truth is that anyone here could
eat anything..( ok almost anything) they wanted and not gain weight.IF we didn't eat it all the time.even when we aren't hungry
we want to eat.and it is so crazy the we do it.i love the pill because now if im not hungry i doen't eat.and it makes your mouth dry. so i drink a lot of water...thats all i drink now. this time on phen.i want to make a life change,because sure the pill helps a lot but in the long run if u don't change yourself, while the pill is changing you,
you WILL end up back where you started.i've been there and done that!now i am 160 lbs.
my goal weight is 125 lbs. good luck everyone.and i'll try and get my before and after pictures on here in the next day or so.
for anyone who's interested.
