new phentermine user with ?

i have used phentermine before (last summer) and lost 17lbs in 2 months. I stopped because month #2 of that was just 3 lbs so I thought it stopped working...(don't ask, I wasn't thinking). My question is, Does it work as well on the 2cd time around taking it cause I've heard people say it doesn't? Oh and one mor question. My friend does weight watchers and diet drinks count as waters....well is that true? instead of drinking 8 glasses of water can I drink diet coke or diet big red? if not is there a water supplement i can take cause i don't like water? thanks ...day #1 5'3"-170/170/135

I've done weight watchers. I can't quite remember what the guidelines were on other drinks, but it was something like only 1/2 of your daily water intake can be filled with other beverages, and cafeinated drinks don't count at all.

I'm not usually much of a water drinker either, but if you're really trying to be lighter AND healthier water is the way to go. It's great for your complexion too! Try it ice cold with a squeeze of lemon.

One thing that helps me drink water (because I don't care for it eiter) ...I am a waitress, and my drive to work is 45 minutes...I know that ****s, but where I live, there are no decent restaurants around. Anyways, I had bought a 32 ounce bottle of Dasani water and drank on it all the way to work. When you're driving and listening to the radio, you usually want something to do with your hands, right? Play with the radio, etc...well, I can usually have a 32 ounces of water drank by the time I get to work. Granted I have to pee every 10 minutes for the first hour after I get there...lol. And another thing, when I go out to dinner, I always order water...with lemon of couse. The Phen gives me dry mouth BAD...and since I've made myself drink water, I no longer crave sodas. Just try it, and give yourself time to get used to it. You'll eventually get to where that's all you want to drink.

P.S. I just went back and read over my reply...I left something out...my point about drinking the water on my way to work is that now I just refill the 32 ounce bottle and drink on it whenever I'm driving anywhere. It seems to help, because when I'm just sitting around at home or whatever, I cannot drink water for some reason.
