Has anyone lost at least 20lbs in a month?

[jitterbug]

I was wondering if it would be possible to loose 20lbs in a month. Has anyone of you guys actually lost that amount of weight is such a short period of time? If so please, give me some advice!! Thanks!!

Hiya Jitterbug,

I lost 20 pounds my first month on Phen 30mg. This is my 6th week and I have lost 8 pounds in the past 2 weeks. I understand everyone's body and their weight loss amount will be different but it is possible to lose 20 pounds in a month.

As for tips, this is what I have been doing.

Breakfast: 1 cup of Kellogg Smart Start Cereal w/1 cup of 1% Lowfat milk.
(Sip atleast 40oz of water before lunch)

Lunch: Subway 6 inch Turkey Breast Sandwhich or Veggie Delight on wheat. No mayo, cheese, soda, or chips.
(Sip atleast 40oz of water before dinner)

Snack: Orange/Banana/Apple

Dinner: 1 cup of white rice w/chicken breast that I marinade with lemon and a dash of salt and pepper. I grill it on the George Forman Grill or I just broil it in the oven. I will rotate between chicken breast and any type of fish (halibut, salmon, or tuna) Some days I also add a small salad with Non-Fat Dressing or I just munch on raw veggies along with my dinner.
(Sip atleast 40oz of water before bed)

I always eat dinner before 6pm, and dont snack on anything for the rest of the night.

I speed walk for 45mins, do a light jog for 15mins, then work on stomach crunches and leg lifts for 15mins every single day.

Thats basically what I have been doing for the past 6weeks. Taking Phen, eating healthier, exercise and alot of water has really helped me.

I wish ya the best on your weight loss journey and keep us posted.

Angelysta, thanks for the the reply! But, I'm trying not to change my diet too much. So that when I get off of Phen, I can know exactly what to do to maintain. I have been walking. I try not to keep track of how long. I just go as far as a can go as fast as I can. Until I get tired. I drink alot of water, though. So, tell me, how tall are you and how much you weigh now and when you started. Thanks again!!

I had to change my diet this way, so that when I get off of Phen I will continue to eat this way and maintain my weight.

I'm 5'2, start weight 213, current weight is 185, and goal weight is 140.

I see that you have been walking and drinking alot of water, keep at it and you will see results in no time.

Angelysta, thanks for the encouragement! You've done GREAT, by the way. With encouragement like this, I know that I can do it. How long have you been on Phen?

Missy Ann - WOW! Congrats on your weight loss! I can't wait to get to the weight you are at someday.

Angelysta- I am only 5'2 and I still weigh 140 and I need to lose 25 more lbs that is my goal before June 22 I'm getting married on that date. This is beside the point but can you tell anything about planning a wedding? Because I really haven't a clue and I moved away from all of my friends so I really don't have anyone now, but my friends here. I take the 30mg too. I love them!!! GOODLUCK!!!!!Missy Ann
