Well Congrats on your start also. I know what you mean about gaining weight after you left the hospital. I am at my heviest weight ever, even being pregnant. when I had my son I started off at like 145 and when I delivered I was 202, well I never really lost alot of that weight I went up and down all the time trying all kinds of diets and pills and nothing really worked. Well 12 years later I got pregnant again and was already heavy from my son and yes even though it was 12 years later I still blame him

. So with my daughter I only gained like 12 pounds so when I delivered I was like 220. I nursed at first and seemed to eat everything in sight so the weight just kept coming and coming and I got all the way up to 245 and I said enough is enough I refuse to let myself see 250 on the scale so I done WW for a while but only lost like 10lbs in like 8 weeks so I had stopped dieting for a while and a friend of mine started to take phen and she really liked it so I asked my Dr and she went ahead and gave me a prescription. I take the 15mg once daily. The only side effects i have had is dry mouth and it takes me a little longer to fall asleep but thats it.
