I have just moved to a new town and have done phentermine in the past and would love to just order online. Has anyone gotten the real stuff online?

Hello;

I started on Phen 15 mg on June 13, 2009.... I lost 7 lbs the first month....but was hungry and such, so I was put on 37.5 mg Phen on July. 17, 2009 .....went back Aug. 17, 2009 and only lost 3 lbs! I am struggling to lose the weight .... I am tired a lot from lack of sleep?? I am also taking 30mg of Armouor (thyroid) and 150 mg of Wellbultin daily! I have to admit that I am not very good at taking in the 70 ounces of water that the Dr. reccomends! And I have no motivation for exercise! I know I need to, yet I just do not make the time or myself to do so! Any sugguestions or advice is so greatly appreciated!

[So I got my Wii Fit working today and got on it, it said about 1.5 or so less than my home scale but the best part is that is keeps track of your weigh ins so it told me that I had lost 13.9 since the last time I weighed in. I was so glad to see that number!! I then checked, the last time I weighed in was May 27th and started Phen July 14th so I guess I'm doing OK.

I had no idea that a Wii Fit could weight you ......my scale is over 20 years old and I know it is not accurate as it said I only lost 4 lbs, yet at the Doctor's office their scale had me at a 10lb weight loss! I may have to look into the wii fit!! Thank you for sharing this information!

Best of Luck to you!!

Hi everyone!
Well I started Phen on June 11th at 258lbs. I go to see my Dr every week and get weighed in, more pills and can't forget my butt shot of vitamin B

. I have been working out since mid June for about 1- 1 1/2 hrs about 5 days a week. Recently I have added the 30 day Shred to my work out. As of this morning on my scale I weighed in at 214lbs. (Even though I just got over a visit for TOM and I injured my knee working out). That would be a total of 44 pounds that I have lost since I started!!
Yesterday after work I rushed to the music store (on a busy BLVD) to buy my daughter a book she needed for a class and on my way out some one whistled at me!! I was embarrsed but at the same time it felt good! I havent heard that in a long time!! And yesterday my husband kept telling me how good I looked. He's really more of the silent type when it comes to that. So it tells me that I should keep up with what I'm doing cause it is working.
In the begining of August I also started to measure myself and I have lost about 3 inches off my thighs and five inches off my waist. I'm wearing my bra on the tightest hooks and it feels loose so I think I need to go shopping.
I also just want to let all you ladies know what an inspiration you all are. Thank you for sharing your stories. On days that I feel down and like I should just stop I read all the ups and downs everyone has and it makes me relize I'm just normal and I just need to push through it.
Thanks and God Bless!

Does anyone know if it is legal to take Phentermine and be a truckdriver. I actually quit taking my phen almost 2 months ago and feel like I could use a little more help to get back into my diet mindset that I am in when I am taking phen. Anyone know? I started school and will be starting my new truckdriving job the 1st or so of Nov. Just curious...if I can't obviously I don't want to risk losing this job!! I am doing ok...just kind of stuck at this weight....I am done almost 35 pounds and have been holding for about a month!! Not happy about that!!!

Can't wait to hear y'alls thoughts!!

I know this is going to seem unreal.. but I did start this past July.. I will tell you I have been totally dedicated to getting this weight off due to severe health problems.. that almost cost me my liver.. I can say I am now totally healthy and will never be this way again. I can say losing a sorry husband helped alot.. LOL....I am down 119 lbs.. My doctor is currently trying to wean me off phentermine.. but it is not working.. I get totally drained to the point I cant lift my head off the pillow in the morning.. so I amback on it.. trying to go off 1/2 pill a day.. so we'll see how it goes.. Congrats to everyone on your weight loss. I will assure you mine is not the average.. I had to take serious measures to stay alive..

**Poisonivy005** · January 4th, 2010, 10:33 PM

That's unreal!! What have you been eating and such that you've had that great of success with Phen??? You look awesome, girl!!!!

**amber alicia** · January 10th, 2010, 05:55 PM

Poisonivy005! I started with you all in June on this thread. Unfortunately I have gained back my weight that I lost ;[ I went off phen, and over 3 months gained all 30lbs back.

UGH...

I am going on it again, and FOR THE LAST TIME this week!

**Mrsace13** · February 9th, 2010, 02:33 PM

How many of us June/July are still here? I guess some Drs do not give Phen longer than 3 months or so.

How are you feeling with Phen? What are your changes in your lifestyle?

Post an updated pic from June/July to now if you have one!!

**Poisonivy005** · February 9th, 2010, 10:17 PM

Hey there!

I started back on 1/4/10 and thus far have lost about 19 pounds! Not too bad...could be better, but I'm also enjoying life instead of being so strict all the time!

Glad to see you're doing well!! Keep up the good work!!!!

**Wilycarrot** · February 10th, 2010, 05:31 AM

It's been a looong time since I posted here...but thought I NEEDED to share my experience so far.

Basically...I don't know what I would have done without Phen in my life.

I've always been a chubby girl, "thick" or "curvy" as some people liked to call it. Either way, I was totally uncomfortable in my own skin. I hated shopping for clothes, and I knew I wasn't healthy.

I started Phen after a friend suggested I give it a try. She'd lost 20 lbs using it. I figured it couldn't hurt...so I gave it a go.

The first pill they gave me was Phendimetrazine...it was horrible actually. I know everyone's body chemistry is different, but that pill did not make me feel good. I did lose 5 lbs using it though. I went back the next week and asked for Phentermine. They gave me a 10mg dose, once a day, to start. I took it religiously. I never forgot...in fact, once I started taking it I noticed some changes. First, I was never hungry or craving anything. It was like...my body was saying feed me, but nothing sounded good to eat. I ended up stuffing myself with super healthy foods mostly...fruits and veggies, with a good serving of lean meat added in. Eventually I started eating junk food, but it wasn't nearly like I'd consumed it before. I just ate a lot less, all the time. I was always satisfied after a small meal. Then came the energy. I'm a teacher so the end of the school day can bring a lot of exhaustion. We barely have a moment to realize we're tired with everything going on! Before, when I would get home, I wouldn't feel like doing anything. No gym, but I did like to dance. I've been doing that for about 2 years so that's one thing I did have working for me. Once I took the Phentermine, it was like I was a whole new person. I had SO much energy! I would clean my house, like deeeep cleaning, just using up all the energy the phen gave me. My parents weren't complaining either!

Slowly, little by little, the weight came off. I would hit a plateau, and that's when I'd go to the Dr. and ask for a higher dose (otherwise I just kept taking the dose they prescribed). Then I'd lose another 10-15lbs, and hit another plateau, so I went up to the next dose level. Eventually I got to the 37.5mg a day dose...the little black pill...it's magic!! I got down to 150 right around Thanksgiving, and I started in June! I was about 190 when I started the phen, but my heaviest was 205lbs!

Basically, I'm a new person, in a new body, with the same life but the quality of living is just better down here at 150! People treat you differently, and I know I'm being brutally honest here, but it's so true. Especially men...I get a lot more attention from the dudes than ever before. I can't say I mind it!

When I go shopping now, it's exciting! For once in my life I'm wearing a Medium (larges just hang on my body like a potato sack now - horrible!) and anywhere from a size 6 - 8 in pants! I'm in the single digits!! The clothes are a heck of a lot cuter at this size as well! I love buying the fashionable clothes that I see at Ross...because that's ANOTHER things ladies! I had to buy an entirely new wardrobe! I've spent over $500 already trying to replace what I had before. I shop at the discount places like Ross or Marshalls because I get more bang for my buck...and I'm always getting compliments about my outfits now. It's just all positive ladies...I feel great on the outside, which matches how I feel on the inside already.

I tell everyone I meet about Phentermine because I believe in what it can do. Just be careful...always follow your Dr's orders in terms of diet & exercise! Really it's impossible to NOT want to exercise when you take Phen. It feels SOOOO amazing...unlike exercising before which felt like a chore. Also, if the Phen you're taking is making you feel yucky in any way, then ask your Dr. for a different pill at the same dose. There's like 10 companies at least who make it, and each formulation is different, so just ask if they have other options. What works for me may not work the same for you, but guaranteed there's one that WILL work for anyone! Also, start with a LOW DOSE...then as you plateau, increase the dose level. That way you won't get discouraged and quit! I think it's also good because it helps your body accustomed to the medicine gradually, verses getting weird twitches or something similar from starting at a higher dose.

Ladies, just remember that it's not necessarily going to be better weight loss if it comes off faster. Take your time, it'll allow your skin to adjust to the smaller you, and you'll be less likely to have more sever side effects. That, and you don't want to hit a plateau and have no where to go up in terms of dosing because more than the recommended amount seems really dangerous to take...given how it makes me feel. I'm usually up late on nights I take Phen because it lasts ALL day...I can't imagine how TWO phen a day would feel! Yikes!

So...I've stuck to 150 for a while. I stopped taking the Phen around the time I reached 150 because I wanted to lose rest of the weight on my own. I would like to see if they would give me another 2 or 3 weeks to get me down to 140, but I think I'll wait a little longer. I'm really proud of myself...but honestly, I don't know if I could ever go back to how I was before. I just don't think I'd ever allow it to happen again, especially since I don't want to have to buy another set of clothes in a bigger size!

If anyone has any questions or anything for me, just email me at wilycarrot****.com. I don't get online too often, but I can email from my phone.

I wish you all luck and hope the weight loss is going well!!

(I'm trying to attach before & after pics but I can't figure this dang site out...so...hope what I do works! - also...all my info in my signature is WRONG! Except the dates I hit diff weights..I'll update that ASAP)
