I am not sure if my first post posted or not so I am making another one. Hello all, my name is Chandale and I am from Trenton, New Jersey. I am a diabetic and recently prescribed insulin and phentermine. I have to say the insulin is making me feel like a new person and the phentermine? well I am still not sure about that one yet. I went to my doctor this past Saturday and weighed in at 265.5 lbs. I started taking my insulin and my phentermine on Sunday. I weighed myself like 15 minutes ago and the scale said 255. I can't see how I lost 10 lbs in 3 days but I guess anything is possible. (Hope my home scale is not screwed up lol). Anyway, has anyone else on here had a similar experience and what types of things can I expect while taking phentermine? Any information you guys can give me is greatly appreciated. Hope you all had a wonderful day.

hi, yes I had that to happen to me.Week one I lost15lbs,week two 5lbs, week three 0 lbs. So I guess what i'm saying is you will lost fast the frist week and then and the 2nd week it it starts to slow down. Do be alarmed it's just your body trying to catch up.

Alright thanks because I was standing in my bathroom looking at the scale all stupified wondering what was going on.

I kinda felt the same way after one week and it said I lost 12 lbs. Found out though that my scale shows 2 lbs off from Dr's. I was bummed that I didn't loose anything in week 2 but my Dr encouraged me and said that it's ok because my clothes already feel different. She actually suggested measuring myself instead of focusing on just lbs! I'll do that either tonight or tomorrow am. I have worked out harder the last week. Either way, I am excitedl that I have a good start. I'm ok with not loosing a ton a week. It' better to loose 2 lbs a week. My next 2 wk checkup, she has my goal as loosing 5 more lbs.

Well congrats on the weight that you already lost. I woke up this morning and it said I lost another 5 lbs. This is weird. I'm not gonna get too happy just yet because I was told that this is gonna slow down. But yet I feel we will all make it to our goal. Good luck on the road to weight loss.

Hi, I am new too, I have been surfing this site for a while now and this is my first post. My name is PJ and I live in Ohio. I was on Phen a while ago, year 2000 and it was great well I have 2 more kids almost 3 years old and 4years old. Currently weigh about 151lbs. I can't seem to get my dr to prescribe phen because I am not at the 30 bmi, which really stinks. I am not sure if that is an OHIO law or not but any how looking forward to advice and if any one else knows a dr in Ohio please pm thanks

Hi everyone! My name is DeeDee and i am from Texas. I have currently started taking phentermine, a diurectic and b12 shots. i have lost 8 lbs. in 3 days. It may be all water weight but who cares! The first day I took one pill in the morning and by 6 that evening I was ready to eat the paint off the walls. I increased my dosage the next day to 1/2 a pill in the early afternoon, around 1 p.m. I don't feel hungry the whole day and find that i really don't have a "taste" for anything. I have to make myself eat something and that is usually oatmeal, protein shake, piece of fruit, or yogurt and cottage cheese. I recently started working out and plan to do so Mon-Fri for 30 minutes on the elliptical. I started out 215, currently weigh 207, and hoping to be a svelte 150 lbs. I am a 5'6, 30 year old with 2 kids, 5 yrs. and 2 1/2 months and can't ever recall being under 200 lbs. Needless to say when I hit 199 there will be a party! My main goal is to get rid of this tire i have around my midsection that is driving me absolutely crazy. Well guys wish me luck and wish you all much success.
