Phen & Hypothyroidism...

[ladycatz]

Hi all,
I am new here and have some questions. I have been on phen for 2 weeks and have only lonst about 2.5 lbs- I also have hypothyroidism and have had no luck loosing weight. Does anyone have any suggestions on a supplement to go along with phen and my sythroid- I believe that I need something else to make this work- I have been trying too long with little or no results for me not to need something to enhance the effect-
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated-
Also, I have started the WW program- does this work well with taking phen? Anyone else on WW?
I look forward in hearing all your advice!

Best wishes

Angie

Hi Angie,
Welcome!
don't get too discouraged, I've been on phen for 2 months and finally the weight is coming off. I kept complaining that I wasn't loosing then all of a sudden it kicked in. Even thru this holiday I lost 3lbs in a week. I'm also hypo and doctor put me on meds and said I wouldn't gain anything, but in the 6 weeks that I was on it I gained 12lbs. Just hang in there and drink that water!!
I kind-of follow the WW point system mentally but I just watch what I eat mostly.
What mg are you taking? I take 37.5 first thing in the morning. Sometimes I only take half in the A.M and the other around 2pm to keep me going.

Good luck and stay positive.

Hi Molly0319,

Thanks for your response- I take the 37.5 in the am-about 8:30-9:00. I know I need to add a exercise routine in my day somehow-but I am constantly moving.
Do you take anything to enhance your phen along with your thyroid med? Just curious. I know there are some supplements out there now that are supossed to help enhance your thyroid along with your med, just curious to see if anyone has tried any, and what the results were.

Good luck to you and your hubby-looks like your doing great! I hope I am that lucky!

Just out of curiosity, what is your meal plan like- and what did you find that helps start the weight coming off?
Any suggestions?

Angie
