New on the site and on Phen - Phentermine.com

Hi everyone .... I'm new on the site and started taking the Phen for the first time yesterday, along with B-12 vitamins. I don't have high expectations but reading some of the posts have made me so hopeful because you guys all look so great.

I'm currently at 190 lbs. This is the highest I've ever weighed, and I'm looking to drop to about 140, which was my normal weight.

I've gone through alot this year .... my fiance and I broke up right before New Years and we were supposed to be getting married at the end of August. Before the break up I had been doing Weight Watchers and was doing really well. Needless to say I gained back everything I lost on WW plus an additional 10 lbs just emotional eating. I'm not looking for a quick fix or to rely on Phen forever but just a few months to drop some weight, get me into some good diet and exercise habits and motivate myself again.

I will post some pictures when I figure out how to manuver around the site and look forward to getting to know everyone.

Hello and welcome!

Glad to see I am not alone in this. I just started taking phen this morning so I am eager to see how things go.

I am also starting out at 190 lbs and my goal is to reach 140. I do not want to be a bone skinny person. I only want to get to a healthy weight for myself and have the energy for my daughters. I am married with 3 beautiful daughters aged 9, 7, and 2.5. After the birth of the youngest, I did well and lost all the weight and was down to a healthy 145, which I was more than content with. Shortly after she was born things seemed to unravel in my life. I lost one of my dearest friends and other personal issues seemed to show their ugly head. With that, I started with the comfort eating and just snacking on this and that whenever possible. Well that has got me to where I am now.

I have a wonderful spouse that always supports me in everything. We have discussed my weight and his reply is that it doesnt bother him. He loves me with a lil extra pounds and knows how hard it is for me to work, take care of our 3 daughters and take care of a household. He has never, not once, downed me for my weight. But I feel miserable!!!! I feel so unattractive, even though he tells me all the time how beautiful he thinks I am, I STILL feel miserable. Almost like I am not good enough for him. I know that may sound cliche or dumb, but I want to make myself happy. And I feel if I don't make myself happy then it will only ripple down into my family.

Anyways, I have started to ramble. I wish you the best of luck and we will have to see how this goes for the both of us. We are starting at the same weight and have the same goal, so I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Best of Luck!!!!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I'm so optimistic that I can buckle down and lose all the weight that I gained. I'm definitely an emotional eater. I'd eat healthy all day long then raid the fridge at night and just feel guilty and bad about myself. I can't believe that I let it get so out of control. This is just my 2nd day on the Phen. The same as you jkdkojones ... I have realistic goals and I know I will never be a stick but if I could get back into my favorite size 6 jeans I would be thrilled. I'm taking the B12 vitamins with the Phen but I didn't sleep at all last night so I'm going to cut back on the vitamins to just a couple days a week. Best of luck on everyones progress I look forward to keeping up on it with you guys.
