Hey everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself! I have been reading the boards for about a month or so, but started Phen on 5/28.
My name is April. I am a 29 year Mommy to my 3 year old daughter.
I gained a ton of weight while pregnant and just never was able to get it off. i developed a binge eating habit that kept the weight on. I would exercise reguarly, but with all the food I was consuming, they weight wouldnt budge. Then a friend said that he had success with Phentermine and suggested I talk to my doc about it. So, I did and here i am!
I started Wednesday at 210.8 and as of today(Saturday) I am down to 204.8!! Im sure its mostly water weight, but it is a really awesome motivator! I am also following a low carb diet because counting calories always stressed me out!
So, thats me. I hope to hang around here for a long time and lose weight with everyone!!

I've been reading everyones post but didnt have my story as yet so just kept on reading i started my waters pills and phen on 29th(I was so excited). They gave me the 30mg which help with the appetite but didn't complete suppress it but then i read that i was actually suppose to eat first then take it 2hrs later when i tried that it helped a little bit more(I'm thinking of asking for a higher dose) But here is the great news in those to 2 days just like you i went from 199-193 and loss 6lbs WOW, I was shocked but i knew it was all water weight but i knew i couldn't get it off with out the water pills and the phen Again just like you i'm doing a low carb just because i have heard huge about a huge loss of weight with low carb and phen with calories if feel like you can't go too low and you can't go 2 high but with low carb you know what you can and can't eat. I'm just so excited to read someone else story and know that i have someone else trying the same things i'm trying and we both are being successful i just hope we continue to lose as much at a steady and fast pace. Good luck with your weight losS how to hear more about your success

Ackevly....what mg's of Phen are you taking? 30mg or 37.5?? Are you taking anything else with the phen??
Good Luck to you....

Ive only lost 5pounds my 1st week and I was told to take my 37.5mg on an empty stomach and then eat 1-2 hrs later so thats what Im doing. I can't handle doing low carb so im just watching what I eat and staying away from junk etc. Are you taking prescription water pills or just the ones you buy at the store? I have thought about taking some myself but wasn't sure if I should or not. Good luck and congrats

Hey there! I'm new too and I also have a similar story as yours. Our daughter will be 3 in August and I have had no success in losing the weight on my own since having her... so here I am on Phen too.

Welcome and Congrats!

I am currently on the 30. Although, I am thinking that the 37.5 might work better for me. I go back to the DR at the end of the month for a follow up, so I will ask for the larger dose then. But I dont take anything else besides the Phen.
