Hello All
I am new here and thought I would introduce myself because I have a feeling I am going to need a lot of help, and you guys seem really suppportve. I have struggled with my weight pretty much my entire life (I am now 35). I currently weigh 225, which is down from my all time high of 238 a few weeks ago. My lowest weight was 128 when I was 16. Here is the hitch though: I was bulimic from ages 14-20. I got treatment for the bulimia and was able to stop purging. Bingeing though....another issue entirely. I am sick of being fat and unhealthy. I want to be able to wear "thin" clothes and be healthy and I feel like the time is right for me to accomplish this. So a few weeks ago I started cutting back and exercising and all went fairly well. I didn't feel deprived and want to binge. So I ordered the phen to help me along. I took my first one today and I could tell a difference, so I have a pretty positive outlook now. My main worry is that I am going to revert to bad habits. Anyway, thats my story. Thanks for reading, Leslie

Hello there-
I just wanted to stop in and welcome you! Sorry to hear about your hard past experience... look beyond that and to the future. You can do this... Repeat after me... I can do this... I will do this! Staying positive is key! Phen is a great tool for weight loss but it goes along with exercise, drinking lots and I means lots of water, eating healthy and eating enough calories to nourish your body! You sound like an excellent canidate for our Holiday Challenge. It a great place to get motivation, inspiration, info and supportive friends. If you are down they offer kind words that boost you back up! They are there if you need some one to lean on. And if you are having a great day... they listen to that too. I wish you luck on your weight loss journey and I hope to see ya around the forums... Take care! Shannon
