Losing too fast?? - Phentermine.com

Michele Rene' · August 16th, 2006, 02:34 AM

Ok I started on Monday and have lost 5 pounds already. Is this normal? Am I losing too fast?

Anyhow..I'm doing pretty good with any side affects. I had a slight headache on the first night and cat napped all night..UGH Last night I took a Tylenol PM and didn't wake up as much. What is funny is even though I didn't get much sleep the night before last I wasn't tired through the day.

congrats on your lost!!!That is great. I only lost 4 lbs. my first week. Anyway, I think it is normal to lose a lot more during the first week. It is probably only or mostly water. It will probably slow down a bit. Just make sure you are eating enough so you don't stop losing. I didn't sleep well for about a week when I started. It is much better now. Good luck!!!!

hey congrats on your loss.... I too think it is normal to lose that much in your first week...

Jen99ss · August 16th, 2006, 04:01 AM

Congrats! It seems pretty normal to lose more your 1st week or even the whole 1st month. I'm with Sara I think it is a lot of water you are losing.

Is there a difference in Adipex and Phentermine? I'm using the Adipex 37.5. My friend gave me a weeks worth to try out before I jumped into a whole bottle. Has anyone ordered from DragonPharmacy? Any negative or positive feedback is welcome. Just doing some home work before I buy.

Thanks!!!

Hi Michelle! It sounds like your off to a great start! Doesn't it feel great???
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that Adipex is the brand name of phentermine, with phen being the generic. I take 37.5 tablets and have used both and I saw absolutely no difference between the two. I've never ordered from here so I can't tell you that. I also wanted to let you know that I too take Tylenol P.M. at night or else I'm way too tired the next day. When you first start taking this it's common to have that burst of energy but be careful or you'll wear yourself out. Even if your appetite is MIA, be sure to eat throughout the day. If solid food makes you queesy, try drinking a slim fast. Believe it or not, you'll lose faster if you eat. Even if you can't drink a whole slimfast in one sitting, at least try to drink some to get your nourishment. If you don't eat something, it will really mess with your sleep and your energy will start to sag.
Good luck!!

Hi!
Initially I lost really fast too, it's been coming off pretty steady still. But, it won't continue to fall off without working for it and even with busting your butt it will be slow. But that will make for long lasting weight loss.

Hi there,
wow, you are doing great! I lost a lot in the first couple of weeks, and then it slowed down to a normal healthy rate. I would think that should happen for you as well.
Good luck with it. Hope to see you posting more.

my2kids · August 16th, 2006, 09:08 AM

HI. I am new here. I have take Phentermine before and once I stopped taking it I gained every ound I lost right back and then some.

I know it was all my fault though because I didnt keep excersing and I still kept eating like I was 18 and only 110. No. I am trying to get back on it and I have just signed up for Curves. Does anyone know of a safe and reliable pharmacy that I can order from online? I'm scared I will get the wrong thing. Its been two years since I have taken phentermine and I am excited because I know it won't take long at all for me to loose the extra 30+ pounds I have put on. This time however I am gonna work out and keep at it even after I reach my weight goal. (I hate working out)No more extra chins, dimple cheeks, love handles for me!!!! I can't believe how I have let meyself go. It just totally makes me sick to think about it. Please let me know if there is anywhere safe to order from. Thanks and good luck to everyone!!

I too had the energy when I started Phen. I am still losing with the Phen and my doctor gave me a script through the end of November and then I should be at where I am good at. It is a wonderful. When I started Phen, I was having headaches, but then I ate something and they were gone. I was never hungry as I really am not now, but I think the Phen is wearing off of me. When I first started, I had to make myself eat otherwise I couldn't sleep or couldn't go to the potty either.

I am also doing weight watchers and that helps 100 percent. If you do a low fat or south-beach or something with the Phen, your weight will come off just the way you like it. Good Luck.

Too date, I have lost 52.4 lbs. My ticker won't let me make changes so I can't update my profile.

Good Luck to all of you.

I usually lose around 7 or 8 lbs the first week. it's mostly water weight so don't worry about losing to fast!

raeality · August 16th, 2006, 03:03 PM

someone mentioned tylenol PM and I just wanted to say that I noticed the other night when the tylenol pm and the benedryl allergy medicine were sitting next to eachother in the cabinet that they contain the same medicine minus the tylenol. So the PM part is benedryl. Weird.

lovelylumps · August 16th, 2006, 04:07 PM

raeality, that is weird! I know that the tylenol pm also contains the same ingredients as sominex minus the tylenol. No wonder Americans are so tired! LOL!

kareninfl · August 16th, 2006, 05:21 PM

I really miss those days when I would lose 4 pounds in a week! Enjoy it! Because, it will slow down.
