should I begin again??? - Phentermine.com

twista · May 13th, 2008, 01:13 AM

I started phen two summers ago with good results. My dr. only prescribes 3 mo. worth. She then put me on it again last summer ok results. I have gained back about 12 lbs of 25 lbs. Do you think it is worth it for me to go back on it again. Or am I getting on a bad rollercoaster? I belong to a gym and exercise 2-3 times a week and walk alot. But I continue to eat, Damn that tasty food! Please give me advise.

Try to control your cravings by upping your fiber intake. Fiber makes you feel fuller, longer, and I think that I read somewhere that it also helps you lose weight by interacting with your fat cells or something to that effect. And drink lots and lots of water!! Have you tried changing your exercise routine? Sometimes that happens to me, when I hit a plateau.

I am not an expert, but I think it is GREAT that you only gained back part of the weight! I took a break from the phen and gained about 6 lbs in less than 3 months

Of course I have been doing a boot camp for the past 6 weeks that consists of lots of weight-training so am not sure if that is all fat..that's what I am telling myself anyway!

I just started back because I really wanted to get the rest off! The phen really helps me to make better food choices and not snack as much. I think that as long as you take it KNOWING that you can't take it forever and that it is only a "learning tool" that it is safe for you. Hope this helps!
