plumeria227 · July 22nd, 2002, 09:22 AM

So, This is my 2nd time using phen and last time I was on it I lost 65 pounds. It was Awesome.. Well I gained 30 of it back and here I am again back on it.
My question is.... I've heard that its harder to lose it the second time around... Is that true for some of you? I've been on it again now for 1 month and have only lost 5 pounds, compared to last time I was on it I lost 12? What is the deal? Does anybody have any suggestions or answers?

I lost 27 pounds in 2-1/2 months when I was in college, in 1986 or 1987. Then last year I lost 30 pounds in one summer. It didn't seem any harder the second time around, but then it was 15 years later.

Since last summer I've regained about 15 pounds and haven't been motivated to stick with the phen.

I'll be starting again on August 1st, when I get back from vacation.... I'd love to lose 30+ pounds by New Year's. Just gotta stick with it this time!!!

Good luck!

I've been on and off phen for 3 years now. The first time I used it I lost alot of weight. The second time I noticed that the appetite didn't seem to be quite as suppressed as the first time. I've heard this from a few people. Sometimes I think it all in my head!!
good luck tho', I'm only one of many examples!

I can tell this time for me is so much harder. And this time unlike the last time I am doing things the right way. Eating right, drinking water and exercising. And it's still harder and much slower. I think your body gets used to it. Some people like to take it for a period of time like maybe 1 week and than take a day or 2 off. Then start again. I have done this and taken Sunday off. Let me tell Monday is so GOOD. Kinda like the old days.

LOL! I TOTALLY agree with Jazzy on this one!> "It's ALL in the HEAD" I have said this to more than one person. This is my Third time on Phen and the first time I lost 30 pounds. The second time like 10 and I took it for almost 6 months that time. BUT I was not trying AT ALL! I didn't want it bad enough. This go around I have lost 40 so far! I really want it this time and I am achieving it!

Best of luck to you!

Thanks so much for your reply. I totally agree with you as well, I have always said that this little pill is all on our heads, It's like a mind drug I swear. Good Luck to ya and Keep on pushin.. You'll get there.

So basicly what you all are saying is that it IS harder, I thought I was doing something wrong, I couldn't stop losing weight last time and now I pray that I lose just a little. Last time I hardly ate anything and lost, doing the same thing this time and no results. It's such a bummer. I guess if I want it bad enough I'll get there SOMEDAY. Thanks for all of your replies. It really helps to have people out there that know what I'm talking about.(Makes me feel less crazy) LOL

There must be something that changes in your system when you take phen. When I started in October of 2001, it was like wow! After putting in a full day at work, cleaned house, organized closets, re-arranged furniture, my office was immaculate (down to the arrangement of the paper clips!), stayed on the computer chatting all nite - it was great! I had to go off in January because of surgery. When I went back on in April, the thrill was gone. The energy level is dramatically reduced (I still have insomnia, tho), and it does not control my appetite as well. It still works, but that rush is not there. When I reach goal, I will go off and stay off because I think a third time would be like eating candy.

The first time I used phen I lost 26 pounds in 2 months and did nothing........second time did nothing again and lost nothing , this time I have lost 23 pounds in 2 + months but I have been exercising my butt off and it is working...so I sure don't have the answer....I don't really think I need the phen anymore.....I have got the diet and routine down and that is what truly makes the difference!!!!! Good Luck!!

plumeria227 · July 23rd, 2002, 07:25 AM

I know Its very frustrating to me... But I think I just need to get my a s s in gear about it. Is eating less or eating more better? Last time I ate less after the first month and that seemed to work, doing it again and nothing.....I think that I'm going to ask my doctor for a high mg. Im on 30 right now and my friend is on 37.5 I took one of hers and It made a big differance. So well see if he'll do it
