OT would like some advice (Harley related)

First,

I weighed 146.5 today!!!!!! woo hoo, it has been a long long time since I have seen that weight. I ve been on phen about a month.

MY delima,

We have a Harley, Hubby drives, I ride on back.

This thurs, fri, sat, sun, and mon. I am enrolled in a very grueling class to learn to ride, we will be out in 100 degree heat all day sat and sun. I don't know what to do about the phen. Am I going to feel bad if I stop for a day or two? Will I be too nervous if I keep taking it? I only take half of a 37.5 each day. I am already a little nervous about the class because I have heard it is hard and some people dump their bikes and can't finish etc...

ANy of you ride?

I was in an accident with my hubby almost two years ago. We were ok, but did 5000.00 of damage to the bike, and some psychological damage to me! I agreed to take the course because we both feel it will help me get over the accident and we both feel we will be safer if I could ride my own, smaller bike.
Help!

I don't ride, except with my husband too, but would love to have my own Harley. I to have thought about taking the course to get your licence over the weekend. Anyways the phen, if you really feel that it would effect you then go off for 2 days and get right back on track first thing on Mon. morn. It might be a good practice day to see how you do. I take a whole 37.5 a day and don't feel to much except energy, but that might be the 2cups of coffee I drink and hour after I take it! LOL! I think it's up to you about how the phen makes you feel. If you choose not to take it make healthier choices for 2 days, you can do it you have done well so far!!

Good Luck on your class!! Ride on Harley Babe!!

Glad to hear you and your husband were'nt hurt in the accident!

Hey wannabesmall,

Congrats on the weight loss. How much have you lost total? I'm definately not any kind of a rider of motorcycles...but, I thought I would tell you that I work outside in the Texas heat and still take my phen. My advice to you is to drink lots of water to replace the fluids you will lose from sweating. I've noticed I sweat like crazy when I'm on phen. Take it the first day, and if it makes you feel funny, don't take it until the course is over. Good luck, and I wish I had some daredevil in me! I'm envious of people who want to try new and challenging things.

I would not suggest to go off the Phen. Only for this reason. When taking the Phen like you have, the energy level is up and you are on a roll. TO just stop like that can definately cause fatigue and I think that would be harder on you. You'll be suprised how once you are out there and focused on the bike how well you will do. Let us know.

I ride with my fiance...not by myself...I have taken phen...and we have went riding in the heat. I would not worry about it...but if you are nervous just do not take it those two days...not a big deal...

Have fun! Good luck!
