I'm amazed - Phentermine.com

I tried to post this topic last night and it didn't work, so I'll try again.

In Jan. 2002 I'd had enough of how fat I'd gotten. I was diagnosed as having a thyroid problem the summer of 2000, and I'd been steadily putting on weight ever since, and actually even since even before that. Everyone told me it was because I was "getting older" but it was because of my thyroid!

I went to a trainer and discovered I weighed about 197 pounds. I felt like hell, and the trainer sneered at me as if she didn't think I'd ever get the weight off. Also, I'd never had a problem with men noticing me, but unfortunately I seemed invisible to them at that time. It killed my ego, too.

So anyway, I started a traditional diet and exercise program and lost only 10 pounds or so. Then I had my meds changed and maybe a few more pounds dropped off. (I don't have a scale so I'm not sure.)

Last spring I dropped more weight; again, not sure how much but it was probably 10 pounds or so. But I still felt VERY FAT, and I was starting a new job and wanted to look better. So an online friend told me about phen, and about a week later, after I read up on it, I began taking it.

That was the end of October. Now it's mid-January...2 1/2 months...I had to go to the doctor yesterday, and before I got on the scales I was giving myself a little pep talk, telling myself that no matter what the scales said, that I was strong enough to handle it and that I'd just keep on dieting until I went down to a weight I could handle. Anyway, my weight came in at 149! (With jeans and boots on, too!) That is well within the normal range for my height (5'8")and age. I was shocked and asked the nurse to weigh me again, and it still came up at 149...

So that makes almost 50 pounds I've lost in the last 3 years. It's amazing, because I've been trying so hard, and as you know, it's hard to keep from getting discouraged at times.

While my BMI is now at its lowest in 7 years, my weight has redistributed itself onto my hips, rear, and thighs, and I am not liking this at all. I figure about another 10-15 pounds and I won't shudder when I look at my thighs.

You know, I never wanted to be beauty queen thin, and I never lost weight with the dream of fitting into a bikini. I just wanted to feel good and buy regular sized clothes and look good in them. I'm not quite to the point where I'm satisfied with the way I look, but I honestly feel that that will happen sometime soon. With the help of phen, of course.

(Sorry for length of this message!)
