Hello everyone,

I am newly registered but have been reading these posts since I started on Phend (I am sorry but the phend forum is dead), on 6/12. I normally don't do forums, I really liked the support and encouragement that I found here. I have been reading these forums everyday ( I really do nothing at work) and I have gotten so much encouragement and advice from you all. Well I finally got my registration straight and I can't wait to join in. I started phend on 6/12 and as of today I am down 10 lbs. I am excited because I took it back in 01 and lost about 30 lbs but it all back on gradually after I had gall bladder surgery in 05. I have taken the meds off and on but they never seemed to work like they did before. I was mid twenties and I really don't remember big diet changes, it just fell off. Well now I realize I have to work at this. Diet and exercise and watching my alcohol intake. That was a biggie for me. I was drinking margaritas everynight and then I discovered alcohol has calories and I was drinking the highest calorie one of them all..

. This go round has been much different and I am looking forward to making some friends and getting/providing support. BTW I have gotten more support here reading posts than from my friends.

Hi and Welcome. I told my husband that too. He can't figure out why he is gaining weight. I try to tell him all those Amp drinks and beer won't do him any good. But he must not believe me because he's still drinking them. Good luck to you!

If he stops for one week what a difference he will see. He will look like those cartoon commercials for slim quick lol. I so miss my nightly unwind sips, but I have to do this.

It's crazy because I do drink on the weekend and I can so see how it affects my weight loss that week. Maybe if I just did it on Sat, instead of Fri, Sat, and Sun.

But since Iv been seeing the scale move I am motivated to do ditch the GGoose because I know that the scale wouldve moved so much better. Alcohol just makes me want to eat.
