**New User of Phentermine**

**Brenda Joyce** · May 20th, 2003, 04:15 AM

Hello I am a new user of this Phentermine and I was wondering exactly how well it worked for some of you and what you did to be successful with it. I use to be a 145lbs forever I thought then I had a chil and 1 1/2 years later had another never had the chance to loose the weight in between. I know weigh 205lbs which is sad to me because I have 2 little children and there mom doesn't seem to have energy for them. My husband has been real supportive through my whole weight gain and says that he would love me no matter how big I got. (gotta love him). I recently purchased this and haven't gotten it yet and was wondering what to do when I get it. PLEASE HELP. My friend has been taking it for 2 weeks and lost 10lbs. What would be the average someone can loose by taking this. I just have some questions and wanted some help from my new friends thanks.

welcome! I have the same problem as you...after having children my body of youth disappeared. You can see my stats in my signature below...but I've been on the phen for not quite a month now and I've lost 16 pounds as of today. I have really worked on food...trying not to DIET but to change my lifestyle where food and exercise is concerned. I eat what my family eats...I just practice moderation with MY plate and I've drank a good 100oz or more a day of water. I go to the gym every day and do cardio workout and weight training to tone up the muscle and flab! Before I got going to the gym, for the first week, I did taebo every morning when I first got up.
You can do it! You'll get tons of support here!
Good luck!

Hi and welcome to phen land! I see that you have already had some great responses to your post. Water is very important. The phen gives me terrible cotton mouth and that helps me get my water down. I am drinking around 128 oz a day, sometimes more but never less. This is a great place to come for support, motivation or just a laugh. We have a few comedians in here!

Good luck with your weight loss and keep us posted!

I will use this chat room for support anytime I feel down, I feel great already. Thanks for the friendly post and great advise. Will use all, thanks Brenda

Good luck with your weight loss journey and welcome to phenland

Just remember that phen is a tool and that it won't do the work for you but that it is there to help you. Remember to eat sensibly and do not make yourself feel like you are on a diet. This is a lifestyle change and if you don't feel deprived you won't feel like your dieting and in turn will be less likely to fall off the wagon. You can have everything now that you can have at goal but the key is moderation. Instead of regular bbq chips get the Lays Wow fat free bbq chips and instead of regular ice cream get a fat free sugar free (Dreyers and Blue Bunny make great choices) and smuckers fat free toppings. I swear by these. Make your sandwiches with wonder light bread and cook with a fat free cooking spray. They have sugar free smuckers jelly and smart squeeze fat free butter that you can make jelly toast for only 110 calories. You can still have peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches, grilled cheeses etc. You get my point. Little changes in what you eat make big differences. Also, make sure to excercise. Excercise builds muscle and muscle burns more calories for you when your doing nothing. Make sure that you believe in yourself and you can do this.

Hey there... just wanted to pop in and Welcome you and wish you good luck on your weight loss journey!

Hi, and welcome.... This is deffinately the place to come for support. Everyone loses weight at a different rate - so I would measure your success by how your clothes start to feel, and how much better you feel. I've only lost 15 lbs. in 2 months - but I feel 100% better. And like everyone said, drink plenty of water and get some excersize into your routine at least 3-4 days a week. Good Luck!

Welcome to the world of phentermine. This site was the actual boost I needed to succeed. Sometimes we need that little something that tells us "You can do it!" I have lost 40 pounds in close to 11 weeks, which I think is extraordinary. But I have really changed the way I live. I have done a complete 360 and decided to eat to live, not live to eat. Instead of a large helping of everything, and going back for seconds, I eat a small serving of what I feel is the healthiest and don't eat anymore after that. I feel that WATER has helped me more than anything. I never drank water before I started this life change. Now that's all I drink. Exercise also has made such a difference. I have more energy, sleep better, and feel better throughout the day. And once you get started, it feels so good to sweat because you know all those calories are getting burned. It's awesome! I wish you all the luck and I know you can do it! Anyone can! We can all be who we know we can be. Keep us updated through your adventure.
