Advice Needed - Phentermine.com

Okay guys I read all the posts & ya'll have some great ideas ~ Help! I've lost 17 lbs so far with the phentermine 37.5. I started taking it on the 29th and the first week or so the weight just fell off. I ride the bike every night for atleast 25 minutes but the last few days I've increased to about 50 minutes riding over 10 miles each time. My weight hasn't moved in days since I did the time increase on the bike. Is it that I'm gaining muscle so the scale isn't moving or am I doing something wrong. I'm having rasin bran for breakfast, LC for lunch, and just a small portion of what the family is having for dinner. Around 3 I'm having a fruit cup. I'm drinking nothing but water with a small cup of coffee in the morning with very little sugar & cream. Does that sound right or am I off? Thanks for any advice! I'd love to hear what Ross thinks too!

First, let me say that you've done an amazing job. You've been losing more than 1 pound every day for the past 2 weeks! Unfortunately, we can't maintain that pace forever

Keep doing what you're doing.. you can't eat right & exercise the way you're supposed to and NOT lose weight! (unless theres some other underlying physiological problem--but if that were the case, you wouldnt have lost 17 pounds!). Your body is freaking out. Give it some time to adjust and keep up the good work!

Jennijane,
It sounds like you are doing great to me! You've lost alot in a very short period of time. I've been on ohen since 3/1 and I haven't lost anything since the first two days.
read my post from 4/12/05 "Help, not losing?" I got alot of great advice from other Phensters.

Give it time.

Thanks for the advice. I know I'm doing pretty good it just helps to see the scales move *lol* I'm the only one in the house getting healthy so junk food is everywhere. So far so good ~ no cheats *VBS* The support means a lot! When I feel like I'm going to break I get on-line & read all the posts ~ they really help.

My only advice would be trying to add a little more protein to your breakfast!

Buy a tape measure....measure weekly then you will not worry about the scales so much.
By the way...great work on the loss so far! well done!
