Fallen Off The Wagon

[margob]

Ok, I haven't posted for awhile nor have I even read this forum for two weeks. I've gotten really discouraged, quit taking the phentermine because I felt it wasn't working, eaten how I've wanted to eat, not exercised in three weeks, an basically,just fallen off the wagon. The only thing I've done right i continue drinking the water, tons of it. I know I'm not supposed to compare my weight loss to others, but I was getting really discouraged losing 7 lbs. in two months. I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and am going to ask him to switch me to Adipex to see if that works. Any other suggestions?

Hi margob-
well I totally know who you feel! (read my first post). I know I definitely have some sort of tolerance to the phen after taking it on and off for so many years. I guess my "punishment" is that I have to try to lose this weight like I didn't have any phen at all. and HOPE that somehow in the overall picture it really did help me pass up that one extra candy bar or large fry... Keep the faith!

Keep the faith Margo, really. I am sure it will get better for you. I fall off the wagon all the time. Losing weight and changing your eating habits takes time and a lot of it. Keep your chin up and we will be rooting for ya.

Hugs

Paula I saw your pic in Moons pic post and from that you dont need to lose anything. You are thin as a rail! Is that pic current?

Hi Paula-
I have never tried didrex (sp?) I am still only on my 9th day here with phen. I am giving it an honest to goodness try and keeping a calendar reporting my days and how they went, so when I go in the docs office in a month I can HONESTLY say I have REALLY tried. I can't keep a straight face if I have to lie to get another ** so I think I am just going to work on this month and see how it goes :O) So far I keep gaining and losing the same pound! So my next weigh in here at home is next friday. I guess we will see.....

Hi Paula
I have had quite a lot of success switching between Phen and Bontril, or Phen and Meridia (tho that one is pricey). The trick is never to stay for more than a few weeks on any one of them. They are all slightly different and sometimes that's all you need for the pounds to start moving!

I wish I could try Didrex- but God knows which site would ship that to the UK! I only got Bontril thanks to an American friend, who's since (foolishly!) taken to living here!

Good luck and keep on trying!

I just fall of too, and had to post for everyone to kick me back on the wagon.
I have got one leg in and one leg draging,
I hope that I can get the other leg in before I have to cut it off.
I am going 2 weeks without phen.
Hon jump right up in that wagon and don't let nothing get in your way..
Hey use me as a brige as you get in since I am hafe in and hafe out.

Ok, I'm really going to give it a try. I'm supposed to meet my girlfriend at the gym Wednesday night but I'm going to see if the gym is open tomorrow and see if she wants to meet for a yoga date.

Paula, where are you in CA? I'm in CA too.

Margo,

I haven't tried Adipex, but, that's what my diet buddy is on. She lost 21 lbs the first month and I lost 8 on Bontril. I lost around 11 pounds my second month on Bontril and she lost more than me, though, I can't remember how much it was. I vote for trying different things until we find one that works. I'm happy with the Bontril for now. She loves the Adipex.

Hi everyone! Thanx for the responses. I just saw them now.My computer has been on the blitz. woke up this morning and VIOLA! it was working....so i haven't been ignoring you.....

Nitra, thanx girl! you made me laugh at loud....partly cuz when I read everyone's post to moony, no one said anything about me, and I thought, BOY, I must look really bad, no one said a word.
yes, the pic was taken this past june, when "we" met. (wonderful moon and memory)

[Paula]

CADtheFAT,
I have been there, losing the same 4 pounds and gaining them back...but that isn't the case right now....i am just holding...which I will think of as success right now...i am not on any weightloss drugs now......

starla,

there has been times i have taken long breaks from phen. (6 months) and the effect JUST isn't quite the same anymore......but this last time was the most dissappointing round......thanx for your good wishes

wonderful2day,

I am hoisting you up into that wagon.....so GET in!

Margo,
from the same bay area you are...=)

amy,
at least you are losing......good job! You must be sooo happy...

[margob]

Paula, you have to give me some info - we might even live in the same city - wouldn't that be funny - we could really be phen buddies.

ALL MY DIETERS WHO AIN'T LOSING WEIGHT!!!
you all probly been on 10 different diets before using this Phen stuff! See if your body is not use to dieting of course you are going to lose a rack of weight when you begin to stop eating like a got damn pig!! the person that lost 21lbs in a month who never dieted before cannot be compared with the person who has been on 10 different diets in 5 months of course there *** ain't gonna lose that much because there body is thinking "Oh No Time To Lose Weight Again" So your body loses 2 pounds in one month to keep your *** from jumping off of the Gott Damn Sears Tower!!
