welcome sweetone. congrats on making the right choice for you. i have been on phen for a few months now and it does work. and yes i can relate with "wow,where did this bulge come from" extra mom baggage.

it was very hard for me to stop but try not to get obsessive with weighing yourself. i had to put the scale in the cabinet to stop. i do about twice a week now. just know that you will lose quite a bit fast and then slow down,so don't get discouraged. since i have been on here everyone has been very nice,helpful and supportive with eachother. don't be afraid to ask a question,there are no stupid ones. good luck to you.
