Hi! I started Phen yesterday (Father's Day). I am already craving water and not food! (Day 2, 11:30am, and I've already had 7-8oz glasses today!
 )Just a bit of background on me. I will be 41 next month. My husband and I have been married 3 1/2 years, I have a daughter who will be 21 in July, and a 9 year old son. I have Fibromyalgia, and my doctor and I think I'll have fewer Fibro symptoms if I don't have to carry around so much weight. My biggest problem with food is that my daughter has trouble GAINING weight (She's 5'4", 83 pounds), and I need to keep yummy high calorie food in the house for her. Unfortunately, I did too good a job in teaching her to share...  She is often hospitalized for IV antibiotic therapy due to medical problems, and I often stay with her, both to keep up her morale and maintain my peace of mind. Her doctor has her on a high calorie/high protein diet. She needs to eat a minimum of 3500-4000 calories a day (No, that is NOT a typo!  ) Her food is good, and we also order out often, so she can reach that intake... I have also had to take meds for the Fibro that increased my weight.  Doc is weaning me off those now!My first short term goal: I'm invited to a black tie wedding in mid-August. I have a formal I plan (make that WILL) wear, and I need to loose 4-5" to get it to close! I can use all the support and help/advice I can get! I look forward to hearing from you all and getting to know you!  -------------------- "Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.

Make sure you drink lots of water. That really helps. Get in some type of cardio exercise at least 3 times a week if not more. Eat more then 1000 cals and less then 1500.
Remember - you didnt gain it over night and you wont lose it over night no matter how bad ya want it gone...I wish we could though |

Hi and Welcome!
Wow, that's a great goal to have. You definately need to try the FIRM... I know a lot of women here swear by it. The first two weeks I used it I lost 2" off my upper arms... they went from 15" to 13". I was amazed. And here's the thing that worked for me. I cut my carbs to 30% of daily calories with more earlier in the day and no eating after 7pm. I am an advocat for making your own diet work for you, so try different things and see what does it for you. good luck

Thanks to all of you for the good wishes, and I send mine back to you!
Phen-tab-u-lous - what is the FIRM? I don't think I've ever heard of it.

WOW, I would love to have a gaining problem. How wonderful would it be to eat all the foods you love, and never gain any weight? Flucking wonderful I'll bet.
I know, I don't know all that's involvd with this medical problem, and yeah, I probably wouldn't want it if I knew what was involved. Maybe, if I could eat Krispy Kreams all day.  Welcome to the board Knit! |
