Is this Normal? Leveling off? - Phentermine.com

I know how many of you have said that during TOM(Time of Month) you level out, which I have I havent gained anymore, but I havent lost any more either. Is it normal to level out sometimes and not lose any? Or maybe it is possible to lose inches and not pounds? Please let me know your experiences.

By reading some posts, it seems people level out during TOM, but I have read that the process of menstruation BURNS calories; I notice that I myself am a pound or two lighter after my TOM. It might be for some that the Phen just isn't tough enough for those TOM munchies and cravings...don't know. I took Adipex 16 years ago--lost 16.75 pounds 1st month, 5.25 pounds next month, and 3 pounds 3rd month (was then at my goal). Some people plateau after a while, then have good success...I plateaued because I'd reached my goal.

I have only been on it 2 weeks. I lost 5 lbs the first week and only 2 the 2nd week. Maybe people who have taken it longer term can help. I still have 25 lbs to go.

You retain water during menstruation. Yes, you can lose inches without your number going down. Building muscle, retaining water and retaining waste are all examples.

Well finally after a bout of confusion for my TOM, LOL decided to come and end and then start up again a week later, now that all that is said and done, I finally started to lose again. There was a two week period of a Standstill.
