first week on phentermine - Phentermine.com

Hi everyone,
I have been on phentermine for a week now and hope this medicine will help me. I was on xenical for a year and only lost about 10 pounds. I rarely had any of the bad side effects. I think it was because my diet was already low fat to begin with.I couldn't afford xenical anymore so my doctor prescribed phentermine.

So far by my scale I have lost 3 pounds in a week. I have been walking 30 minutes a day on my treadmill. I've also started drinking lots of water.

I am very fortunate to have a supportive doctor.
I was happy to find this website and have already found encouragement reading your posts.

It seemed like it took a few days for me to feel like the phentermine was working. My appetite seems to be curbed now. I'm taking the 30 mg capsules (blue). It seems to hold about 12 hours for me. I eat a light breakfast and then wait a couple of hours to take mine. Since it's summer I sleep later and go to bed late.If I take it too early then I'm hungry at bedtime.

I'll be seeing you on the boards and in chat.
Happy 4th of July!
Julia

Hi Kit! Welcome to Phenland! Good job on the 3 pounds!!

I too am on the 30mg of Phen. I take mine on any empty stomach between 10-11am. Seems to work for me ALL DAY! I make sure to drink lots of water and this helps too! Now, if I only could get the exercise part down! LOL....... Good Luck to you!

Welcome and it sounds like you are off to a great start! I take the blue/clear with beads phen first thing in the am. The main benefit I have had is NO CRAVINGS even at that time of the month. It has helped me a lot! Keep up the good work.

Keep it up! I just started phen back a week ago and have lost almost three lbs. It's great when you don't come home from work and pig out. I've been trying to STOP eating after 7:00pm. I've heard that helps a bunch!
