Hello everyone. I have enjoyed reading all of the experiences and the encouragement you all give. I have been on phen for 2 weeks and have lost 9lbs. I joined curves a month ago and enjoy the encouragement I receive there. Any help or suggestions y'all would be greatly appreciated. I need all the help I can get. My starting weight before phen was 318lbs. I can't beleive I actually printed this for some one else to see. It depresses me. But I'm tryong. My health isn't great so I so much need to lose this weight. I hope I haven't bored anyone. Thanks.

Peaceful, I applaud you.

We've all been there. I'm still there. I don't think it's the number that we need to focus on, it's doing the job every day.

eating what is right for us
listening to our doctors
paying attention to hunger -- or lack of
walking a few more steps every day
move instead of veg

I think more than anything, I'm excited that Phen gives me the choices I didn't feel I had before. Before I was hungry all the time... I wonder if really thin people even knows or can understand how that feels or how it rules your thoughts.

Phen puts the power in my hands... to eat right or overeat. It's just Phen-Tab-U-Lous!!!

Keep doing the job!

Girl, keep it up and don't forget to keep drinking your water..You might also want to consider lifting weights, like 3 lbs weights... Since you are losing weight you can be toning a little too..Do like 2 sets of 12 at least 3 days a week....Good Luck...My mother is around your size..She is unable to take Phen right now because of her BP...So she walks on the tread mill for 30 mins a day..She says that it is hard at times, but down the line it will be all good!!!lol....

Welcome Peaceful, I love your name.
You are going to do great. Just keep going and don't look back. I don't think I have herad of curves. What is it?

[peaceful]

Thanks to all of you for such a warm welcome and the encouragement. I was feeling a little lonely and I guess I felt no one would reply. Forgive me for even thinking it.

samfromfla curves is an exercise place just for women and they have many locations. Check around your area, there may be one there.

NCLADY I too have high B/P but my doctor put me on 37.5mg of phen. With my B/P medications everything has been fine. I monitor my B/P and see my doctor every 3 weeks.

By the way, Ive lost another 3 pounds inspite of all the eating I did over the holiday. I will survive and succeed.
