Hey ya’ll,

My name is AmyLynn. I started on the phentermine the day after my 32nd birthday. I decided that I had to start making better choices. I have a 5 year old that I want to be a good role model for. Plus a few months ago, I was having unbearable pain in both of my feet. When I finally decided the pain was just getting worse and it wasn't getting better. I went to the orthopedic. On both of feet, I have bone spurs as big as my pinky finger and plantar fasciitis. The doc put me in physical therapy and that lead to yoga/pilates. I have also been looking at other option when I go out to eat. You know choosing streamed broccoli instead of fries, taking a chance on the grilled fish rather than monster burger. Before I knew it, I hadn’t eaten fries in a couple of weeks. I couldn’t believe it!! (FYI, Fries were one of my favorite things on earth!!) They’re not even an option for me now. This past Monday, I gave up sweets and started a food journal. Since my birthday, I have gone from 220 down to 213.4 this morning. YAYAYAY!! Phentermine gives me that little extra boost that I need to see the results. I’m so glad that I found this site. I need the support so badly. I can’t seem to get past 213. My short term goal is 10% of my body weight. Best case scenario would be to get less than 200 lbs by my boyfriend’s birthday (May 28th). However, I gave myself to my next doctor’s appointment on June 19th. No matter when it happens, I know that it will!! My mantra is “Just keep swimming!”

BTW... Here's I am at Christmas '07, my weight was in the high-220's and then my most updated picture took on this past Wednesday May 7.

Welcome to our phen family Amylynn. You are going to really love it here. You sound like you are truly ready to make a lifestyle change. Anyone who can give up fries, is already a WINNER. I wish you all the best on your journey.

Thanks!! You know the funny thing is, I didn't even plan to. It just was one of the 1st things that I knew I had to get rid of. And you know what's even funnier, my boyfriend says that he isn't going to eat them as long as I don't. HA HA!!

Now he is a REAL keeper. My hubby can barely last the ride home from Wendy's without stealing one or two of the kids' fries..lol.

Makes it easier when a couple participates in good choices together. Me and my wife have been eating low carb since Oct 07 and I lost 80 pounds and she lost 45. If I had to do it alone it would make it harder(even though I cook most of the time).
