February 2010 starters

[amber alicia]

Confession time... I felt like such a cow this morning... totally cried like a friggin baby.. so I had to share. This might sound crazy to some.. but I'm sure that at least one big girl here can relate to this....

Ok so here's the back story and formula for 2 people that I have no interest in showing my fat face to, right?

While the other car is in the shop, I've been taking the bf to work every day. This is a new job that he's started, so I have not met anyone that he works with. (ok well I have pretty much been dodging the introductions) It's a small place, so of course when he started (which was about 2 wks ago) the 5 co-workers began grilling the crap out of him about his personal life. There was one girl in particular that has been especially nosy.

For those that have bfs (esp attractive ones that a lot of women tend to like) you know what I'm talking about. This girl has bugged my bf almost daily about his love life. Who I was, what do I look like, how long have we been together, etc etc. She's just down right nosy and rude.

Then there's the horn-ball ball guy right? Total Ken Doll. The one that chases all the girls who come into the place, the one that brags about all the 'hot chicks' that he's pulled etc. He's always bugging my bf about me, and what I look like, how 'hot' I am, etc.


Personally, I despise being on display. I have done a pretty crafty job of dropping off/picking up the bf without being seen. I have gained about 30lbs in the last 3 months (thanks to going off phen and totally throwing my diet to the trash) But I am usually in somewhat fabulous spirits, and even though I'm fat - I still tend to be quite confident and social. Well it hasn't been like that lately, and right after weighing in at 292lbs in January? Definitely not now.

So this morning I'm in my stealth little ninja mode right? It's friggin 930am, I have no makeup on, I've been awake for like 20 minutes... I still got sleep funk in my eye man...

I pull up to drop him off, and the friggin Ken Doll pulls up right next to us. I look over right at him, and I want to DIE. I quickly give the bf a kiss, and haul *** out of there like I have some case of frigging leprosy. Jesus. It sounds small and stupid - but this is the 2nd week of this duck and dodging, and I am sooo tired of it.

I came home and started writing out my diet and exercise plan. I am sticking it to my refrigerator right next to Jazmin Sullivan's pic (when she lost her weight) I'm sick of this.

*I can't wait until I am thinner to where I am proud to walk into my man's job - and be like 'hello, Yes sir I am fabulous.."

*I can't wait until I don't have to feel embarrassed for my bf, my son, and my daughter... to where I don't feel uncomfortable going to school functions for fear that one of his friends are going to tell him that his mommy is fat.

*I can't wait to be able to see a picture of myself and not have that gut wrenching fear that the person I see is going to be a huge cow.

*I can't wait until I can stop STEALING my pictures from people, or being embarrassed because I've been tagged in some horrible public myspace picture.

*I can't wait to see the real me.


*sigh* that felt pretty good. sometimes you just have to vent, ya'know?

Congrats on your wedding I've actually been lucky enough to be a part of two weddings this past year. Both of the brides were plus size girls - so the dress was a big deal. (for those that have gotten married while plus sized - you know how frumpy some of those dresses can be!) It's definitely a challenge. BUT!

A good word of advice is to wait. You're most likely going to have to tailor your dress a few days before the wedding anyway; but a drastic change (more than just a few inches) can make the dress look funny and/or lose its shape.

Also 8 months is a really long time from now (losing weight wise) who knows what you may look like then. You just might toss that dress all together, and go for something totally different to compliment the new look.

The dress is probably one of (if not 'the') most exciting part of planning a wedding. So waiting is probably the last thing that you want to do. Here's a suggestion... How about choosing a dress in a smaller size? Like I said.. dresses can be tailored. My bff did that, and she hung it in her closet. It was her motivation every day as she got ready for work. She was a size 22 when she started, and she got a size 15 dress. At the end (7 months later) they ended up taking it down to a 12!

Thank you! Yeah, you have a lot of valid points. Since I just started, it's hard to guesstimate how much I'll lose. I've read so many varying stories & I know that it's different for everyone. I really appreciate the help! My other concern is waiting too long to order a dress. The last shop I went to said that it would take about 4 months for the dress to arrive & that doesn't include alterations. Sheesh! I think I'm going to wait another month or so to decide on a size to buy. That way I can see how my weight loss is going.
Again, thanks & keep up the awesome work you've done! Lookin' fabulous, girl!

Oh my gosh! I can TOTALLY relate and it is such a horrible feeling. I'm sorry that you're feeling down on yourself. You've gotta stay positive! And honestly, these people are complete strangers... if they have anything negative to say about you or your appearance, then that is just ignorant of them! If your bf loves you as you are, and your kids love you as you are, then don't let any one else bring you down! I know, easier said than done... but try & keep your head up!

Hi Ladies! I started adipex on Thursday! So I wanted to join the February starters thread. The doctor also has given me a diuretic pill and I have to get b12 shots every two weeks. Honestly though I feel kinda ripped off (please correct me if you think I am incorrect). Okay, so I have to go the doctor every two weeks and pay $50 to see her and get the shot and then she gives me a prescription. I then take said prescriptions to pharmacy and pay $30 which I know is not much. Do any of you go every two weeks and spend $80. Of course the first consultation was $75 and that was without the prescription for $30.

In any case, I will pay whatever to lose the weight but I seem to read that a lot of people get prescriptions for a month for like $30 and I was confused as to why I am only getting 14 tablets for the same price.

Okay so here is my short story about being fat. I was kind of a chubby kid but as I got into middle school I started playing sports and stuff so I was average weight. I was between 120-135 in high school so that was okay. I got to college and my relationship with HS boy idiot ended. After four years of college I was 205. I could not believe what I was seeing and feeling. I never felt fat because I saw myself differently from what others saw...delusional me. Now I am graduating from grad school weighing 224.8 lbs. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm only 5"2.

Well, so here goes my journey. I am tired of being treated differently. Plain and simple. I had some craziness happen this holiday season with people treating me different from others around me just because of my size. I am disgusted that people don't measure you by your character or who you are but what you look like.

I really hope we all meet our goals. You all sound wonderful and dedicated and I wish you all the very best!! I hope we can all stay motivated and support each other!!

[Louise44]

Hi ya ladies.
Sorry to here about ur halt in weight loss Malexis. I dont no about takin two tabs tho. Seems like that would be quite strong and major side effects, LoL.

I cant hold it no longer. Im goin to go weigh in today. I no its silly cos Im only like 4 days in but I cant wait, LoL. I no that already my stomach is not so bloated and stickin out. But I supose thats just were its not got so much food packed in it at the end of the day, LoL. Shall be back later today (its 10:50am here at the mo). :-)

[Louise44]

Oh Amber, just seen ur post, Im soo sorry that u feel that way. U r gorgeous. And I no its easier said than done but those stupid people are not worth worrying about if they can think less of u just bcos there is sooo much more of u to like (ment as personality and mind huni) than those shallow idiots. U r are worth a million times more than those kind of people.
Just remeber u can change ur weight but they'll probably always b arrogant, shallow Twats, lol.
And u should never waist ur time worry about people that only have the time to judge others in the wrong way. :-)

[Louise44]

Right I went and weighed myself on the shop weighing machine just now (Boots - large Chemist type shop chain) and they say I am now 212lb a loss of 5lb in 4 days!!. Surely not... but my Wii says the same too (just done that).
How can I have lost more than a lb a day, LoL. Supose its just the water??

[lilmama11]

I hopped on the scale this morning, not expecting to see a change but there was!! Since I went to the dr last Tuesday, I've dropped another 3lbs (well it was .2lbs short of 3lbs)! I'm so excited, I have never been able to stick to a diet and exercise this long and actually lose weight. And what makes me feel even better is the fact that I'm on half a 37.5mg tab which doesn't make me have no appetite so I still have to control myself, so its not just the phen that's helping me lose weight. The dr said by the time I see her next month she wants me to be down 8lbs and now I think ill be down ATLEAST 8lbs.

Louise, congrats! Who cares if its just water weight!

Amber- don't feel so bad about yourself, your weight doesn't define who you are as a person. And like louise said if someone really has something neg to say about you based on your weight F**k them, you can lose weight but they still s**k!

[asia745]

I am also a February starter i have been lurking around the site for a couple of days. I started taking Phentermine 37.5 thursday morning and i have already lost 4lbs. I look forward to seeing how much i will lose in a month. And i am thankful i have this board. I decided to get the pills after seeing a weight loss doctor and telling him that i emotionally eat but, i have no problems working out and eating the right foods i just eat to much of them so he figured that i needed the pills to help me eat less and they have done that. I decided to do a lifestyle change and have already given up ice cream, chips, candy, and all drinks. I only drink water now but i feel totally refreshed now and better for it. I exercise using my daughter's wii fit i try to do 30mins of that everyday and a tip for those who don't have a wii. the cable company has a channel on thier on-demand service that is dedicated to fitness. I usually do the walking program that they have and the 10min ab program. I am dedicated and hope that my time here will keep me motivated and i will learn new things.

[Louise44]

Thanks Lil Mama, congrats to u to huni.

Congrats to u too Asia on ur weight loss. U are definatly do it strick. I couldnt live without at least 6 coffees a day, LoL (Still drink TONS of water tho)

Oh and I had Fries and a bowl of Icecream last night, LoL. Must say though I did go out today and get aload of yogurts to take the place of the Icecream. Thought it also might help to conter-act one certain effect of the Phen too, LoL.

Get the skinny cow icecream or the smart ones deserts (which are actually really good).
Or if I have a sweat tooth, ill eat a chocolate oatmeal fiber bar from atkins, which is like 130 calories but has lots of protein and fiber and a few other vitamins and they are soooo good.

Thanks, I have never been a coffee drinker my fix was butter pecan ice cream and pasta of any kind. I told myself that since i was spending the money on the dr's visits and pills i could at least do my part. I just gave up Fast Food today I stopped at Taco Bell and order my 2 kids food but, didn't order myself a thing. I am determined that if i don't lose any weight it will not be from lack of trying.

Omg, that is the hardest thing ever, for me atleast! I went to wendys the other day and got my son and husband something and didn't get myself something, I was so proud of myself! I was so tempted to atleast get a taco salad but I didn't.

Then you know exactly how i felt. We have to pat ourselves on the back because watching them eat fast food knowing you want some is hard. I tell myself that right now i can't be trusted not to over eat and i can't read the label so i just have to say no. But, my biggest challenge is this superbowl party I have been invited to. Finger foods and hot wings

[Twilight_Mom]

Hi! I'm new here, and would love to join this thread, since today was my first day taking the Phentermine.

I would like to lose 65 lbs by my birthday, which is in October. I would also LOVE to wear a bathing suit without a tshirt over it this summer! Does this sound like a reasonable goal for someone taking Phentermine?


I appreciate any advice, and look forward to getting to know you all!

[Louise44]

Oh yes girls that was me the other day too. In thesweet shop with the kids and they got there Chocy treat and normally I would grab a bag of Crisps, oh sorry Chips, LoL, but didnt. Its hard but it does make u feel good that u have done that. Oh and in the mornins when my Daughter is off school and they are havin some toast I would have some with them but dont any more.

Asia thats exactly what I said to my mates when they said I am absolutly mad for payin £40 (dont no the exchange rate) for 21 days tablets (quite cheap compaired to some Computer prices). "If Im gona be payin out that much I no for certain that I want it to work and not cheat." But I think its still good to to not totally deprive ur self of every good. I think its not so much about what u eat but How much u eat of it, and excersize ect.

[amber alicia]

Sorry that I haven't checked in. It's been a busy weekend. Ty for the support regarding my mini-melt down with the bf's co-workers. LOL

Some days you are so emotional on this stuff! You know, you're whole body is going nuts trying to adjust to the new chemicals, and the idea of being fat and trying to lose it plagues every thought... I guess I just couldn't take it and let it all out But you're all right. The bf loves me the way that I am, he's supportive, and frankly - he works with a bunch of douche bags anyway, so who really cares what they think. ha!

So the first week of Feb is over! Has anyone weighed in yet? I haven't - but I am tempted. I wanted to wait and do it monthly, but I am feeling pretty good. I am dying to know if I've lost! I don't have a scale at home ;[ so I guess I'll be waiting until I go see my mom maybe later this week.

[Louise44]

Hi Amber and everyone. :-)

Right I went and weighed myself on the shop weighing machine just now (Boots - large Chemist type shop chain) and they say I am now 212lb a loss of 5lb in 4 days!!. Surely not... but my Wii says the same too (just done that).
How can I have lost more than a lb a day, LoL. Supose its just the water??

And Iv just weighed myself on the Wii again just now 2ice (and its like 11:10pm here now) and its say Im another 2lb down again!!. How in one day??.

Im goin to go back to the Chemist shop 2mrw and try on their scales again like yesday. I swear theyr gona think Im some sought of nutter in there, LoL ;-)
I just cant help myself with the weighin. Id never be able to leave it a week let alone a hole Month!!, LoL.

Btw thats definatly the right attitude to have Amber. Their not worth workin urself up over if they can just simply judge a person like that. :-)

Goodluck with every ones weigh ins. xx

[amber alicia]

So I totally couldn't help myself. I was at my mom's today and couldn't resist the scale. The last time I got on her scale; it said 292.... (roughly 10 days ago) Today is said 285! That's 4lbs since phen (1 week) and a total if 7lbs all together.

It feels so good to finally see the number go DOWN!

[angie261]

So glad I found this thread!!! We have a few months before summer and can really shed some serious weight in that amount of time. I dont know about you guys but every summer I say.. "Next summer I will be in a two piece." I am so grateful to have this forum and people such as yourself who post. It's nice to see people with the same struggles and concerns, we can all learn from each other. The weight loss will not be overnight, but it will happen for us if we just stick to it!!!!!

[angie261]

Hi Amber.. guess I am pretty emotional too because your post made me cry I have avoided things for years because of my ballooning weight. Being embarressed about my size has made me miss out on sooo many things that I should have taken part in such as; family functions, reunions, etc.. you get the drift. I get so tired of people saying oh your beautiful and carry your weight well. Being 5-11 gives me more area to distrubute the weight, but there are things I am tired of as well. I hate getting dressed and worry about my back fat, and making sure my butt is covered. It has been such a burden for so long. Like you I have an attractive mate.. I know people say why is he with her.. Oh the tears I have shed. No more though, I cant do it anymore.. life is too short not to be comfortable in your own skin. At this point we don't have a choice.. we must continue and this time not go back to bad ways!

[iTaurus]

well, 1st off i'd like to congrat everyone on their weightloss this past weigh in (YAY!) keep up the great work.

2nd - alicia im so sorry bout your recent incident at the hubbys job. you'll ull through it. i knw exactly how you feel. been there done that

3rd - welcome all new comers. the more the merrier

anyone else get snowed in like me?

[Louise44]

Congrats on the weigh in weight loss Amber. And Welcome newbies

[blu_iz2477]

So I have been looking at this site for a few days now and everybody seems extremely nice . It is nice to know what we are feeling is not abnormal and there are lots of others sharing the same emotions. Here is a little about myself I live in California (Northbay area) I am 32 years old, I have 4 kids a daughter that will b 15years old next month a 9 year old boy and six year old twins girls, and yes there is more I also have 3 soon to b step kids. I have been over weight most of my life when I was 27 the Dr put me on wellbutrin which made me lose a lot of weight but unfortunetly I did not see the weightloss when I looked in the mirror I still saw my self at over 200 pounds, now looking back at pics I kick my self in the *** for not relizing how damn hot I actually was! If anything I was a little bitter becasue people actually noticed me! (Is'nt it amazing how the bigger we are the more invisible we become)
So I started phen Feb 4,2010 at 197 pounds I weighed myself this morning and I want to throw a party(minus the food)hehehe I was 191 I know this is not going to b an easy journey but I will definitley enjoy myself this time when I get to my goal of 135! And I am liking the immidiate results that is what keeps me motivated!

START WEIGHT FEB 4, 2010: 197
FEB 8 2010: 191
FEB 15 2010:

[redrose]

Hey guys so i have been on phen since friday and i am just in need of some help and advice. Today i felt as if my heart felt compressed i really dont know how it felt but maby it was my heart rate going so high. I checked my pulse rate and it was 90. I also felt dizzy. I also have had constipation and i have tried to have some fiber but it seems not to work. I am just worried...

Today i ate a Protein/Meal bar for breakfest with water (1 Bottle). Snack (1 Water Bottle), Lunch soup (60) Calories with crackers (110 Calories), Snacks 1 (cheese stick) & 1 (100 calorie oatmeal bar) , another 1 water bottle.

Thank You Very Much

[angie261]

If you feel dizzy and like your going to pass out.. see a DR who can better determine what is going on. I would not take any more meds until I knew exactly what was up... Hope everything is ok!!!

[Rileysmommy]

Hello everyone!! Well i saw my doc and got my phen today! But im not going to start taking it until tomorrow since it was like 4 when i got it.... I hope it works as well as you all are making it out to!!! lol

If your feeling dizzy it is most likely because of the rise in blood pressure that your body isnt used to.. My doc told me today that that is the one thing people get alot... When it happens just sit down for a few min and take deep breaths and that should slow everything down... if it doesnt work then i woud talk to your doc.

[Louise44]

Yeah Red Rose if this doesnt settle I would definatly see ur Doc again. If u are 37.5mg maybe he could put u on the 30mg for awhile.

Well it was my 1st weeks weigh in today and according to my Wii Im down to 207lb, from 217lb, a loss of 10lb in that one week. WOW!!

I no that this is only becos its my 1st week on 30mg and it will slow down and I'll have to work harder at it but what a brilliant boost to keep it up and keep goin. So much better than workin ur butt off all week, feelin sooo hungry all the time and weighin in at a 3lb loss at the end of the week like a normal non Phen diet.

Oh and my friend came round last night and bought me a bottle of Chardonnay in too. And I was so good and I only had one small glass. But I soo could have sat there and easily drunk the hole bottle tho, LoL

[Selene83]

Hi everyone! Sorry to hear about the dizziness RedRose but like everyone has said, I'd definitely see the Dr. I haven't really had any "bad" side effects but I have noticed that because of the dry mouth, that I've had an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I'm constantly having to drink water, which is fine, but if I don't... that taste will start. Is this just me or has anyone else had trouble with this?
I'm weighing myself on Fridays since I was weighed at my Dr's on a Friday but I couldn't resist & weighed myself this morning. Down one more pound today! Hopefully I'll keep losing & I'll post on Friday
Well keep up the good work everyone, stay positive & let's keep each other motivated!

[amber alicia]

Good morning all!

@angie261- i know what you mean about the 'two-piece by summer' self promise. althought i've never been in a two piece (yet.. haha) i am definetly hoping that i'll be there soon! welcome ;]

@blu_iz2477 - just wanted to say hiii and welcome to the boards. i live in northern ca too. what area are you from? i'm originally from the sonoma/napa area... but now i live in the east bay over in hayward.

you guys have probably already noticed that these boards are full of really nice and supportive people. when i first started i didn't really think too much. but this time around i've noticed that the support helps sooooo much.

@redrose - i agree w/angie. i would def get to the MD asap. chest compression, pressure, pain, etc is not a good sign. who knows; you might just need your dosage adjusted ;] let us know what happens!

@iTaurus ; I bet it felt good to get to eat some 'real food' LOL I tend to follow the 'one-day to cheat' rule. I haven't done it yet though... I'm still trying to do that whole 'mind conditioning'. I swear it's like a frigging addiction. So no cheat days for me yet ;[


So we are all into another week! How was everyone's weekend?

[Louise44]

Wondering if my posts are invisible to some, LoL

[blu_iz2477]

Selene83 I'm with you with the nasty tast in my mouth! I tried to wear my retainer earlier and kept gagging and had to take it out. How many days have you been on the phen? I have been on it for four days now, besides that nasty taste and the first day being really really GRUMPY I feel good. Oh yes and I must say it made me do some spring cleaning!

[B][U]Amber Alicia: I live in Windsor just North of Santa Rosa! Sorry about your day the other day when dropping your bf off we all have days like that!
