I'm new...and into Day 2! - Phentermine.com

MoitvatedMomma · January 30th, 2008, 04:32 PM

Hello!! I just wanted to introduce myself and my "story". I was on phentermine during the end of 2006 and lost about 15lbs...but I didn't excersise, I ate like crap, and I smoke cigarettes (a LOT of them), not to mention being in a bad marriage and in complete denial of all of my life's problems! I ended up gaining it all back + 10 more, as my marriage got progressively worse and I sank into depression.

Well, today, I am a divorced non-smoker...and have made a commitment to change my life and I mean it! Obviously, I have quit the two worst habits (the marriage - 11 years...but it was not healthy- and smoking!). I have also realized that I truly have an addiction to eating, it is ridiculous. My mother had gastric bypass surgery last year...I will not be in her shoes 25 years from now!

My kids (3 of them, 9, 7 and 4) and I are making a switch to more whole & fresh foods, I joined a gym (I live in the N Midwest and it is too flipping cold/hot to do much outside about half the year!) and my first time at the gym will be tonight.

I am ready. I am ready to stop looking & feeling old. I am ready to feel sexy and confident again! I feel like I am starting my life over at 30, but hey, I have lots of life left to live, I might as well make it great!

Welcome and good luck to you. You will find many helpful hints and ideas on the threads.

Welcome . I'm going for a second time also. The good thing is we won't have alot of scary questions about the effects . We know a little something . It's more about what you said, realizing the things that are holding us back. It takes courage to get on the horse again. Congrats! Tell me how the gym went .

Welcome motivated,
I know u will do it and make a positive change. To have stress in ur life is one thing but knowing how to cope is another, Im glad u r at a point where u feel like enough is enough and im going to change.

Good luck to u

Hi Motivated-

Congratulations on starting over. Your story sounds lots like mine. I too just got out of a long term relationship and am trying to get the "real" me back. I started on 1/14/08 at 194.4 and have lost a little over 14 pounds as of today (so that is also similar) and lastly I also live in the midwest! What town are you in. Keep your head up there is lots of support here!

MoitvatedMomma · February 4th, 2008, 11:04 AM

weighnless - I live in South Daktoa!

pas04 - the first couple days on phen I have felt a little sleepless (like I am tired, but can't sleep), a little itchy, and very thirsty. On the plus side, the appetite suppressant effects seem to be increasing as I go.

girllost2008 · February 4th, 2008, 12:31 PM

I'm excited for you!! Your enthusiasm is motivating!! Congratulations on quitting smoking, what a tremendous first step to great health. I applaud you and wish you many, many pounds gone!!

Thank you everyone! I have been to the gym 6 times in the last 8 days.....truly a new personal record! The last couple of days the kids have been sick, so I have been having to run like crazy, so I have been forgetting to eat, yesterday I had to make myself because I know it won't work if I don't eat!
