Im so excited. Ive been reading the boards and decided to post today. Monday will make 1 week ive been on phen. After contacting a dr here i got the pills and vit b shots (can do shots every week if i want). So as far as energy it doesnt give me to much maybe a little boost but nothing big. Now on the other hand I have been having to force feed myself to make sure i eat 1200 cals a day 50% of that is fruits. Ive never stuck to a diet for a wek without cheating this stuff is amazing! Anyhow i just wanted to say Hiya, and hope to meet some friend to share this with.

So do you know if you have lost anything yet? I am on my second day. I am so excited after reading so many stories on here. I love how it makes you not hungry, but what I noticed is it doesnt make me crave caffine. I am highly addicted to sodas. If I didnt have a soda all day I would have the worst headaches and my husband says I am a total b&%ch!...LOL I have not once craved a soda or had a headache. I cant wait to see if I lose anything at the end of the week. The only bad thing is I have to see my doctor every week to check my blood pressure. So I hope I dont get cut off before I can loose a bunch of weight.

i have had to loose but i dont know yet. My cloths are starting to fall off me i have a size 20 pair of shorts (jeans) that hang on my hips now. The dr didnt want me working out for a little bit tho just to see how my body does with phen without extra burning of calories,
Oh with the soda i would drink easy 6 cokes a day i thought i would try that coke O i got a 20 oz because i wanted a diffrent taste or so i thought and took one drink friday and i swear it felt like it foamed up in my mouth and i gave it to my son (that loved it because mommy doesnt give him soda) i would get headaches too but have switched to diet snapple tea

ok this ****s tomorrow is weigh day and i just started T O M wonder how that will effect the scale is it just a few pounds added?

I wouldn't worry too much about the scales around TOM, you can always be up a few pounds. Just make sure you are drinking lots of water, and watch your sodium intake. I have only just started having periods again, and I forgot how much the scales lie during that time

WOW! That is amazing!!! Much of that is probably water weight, which is fine!!!! Make sure you are getting some sort of exercise so that you are losing fat, and not lean muscle... also you will keep yourself from getting too saggy the more lean muscle you have. Keep up the great work!!!!!

Thanks, i Know this sounds weird but to me thats too fast so im glad most is water. im going to keep cal at 1200 this week and add 30 mins of my tony little gazelle. PLUS chasing my 4 year old and caring for my newborn and 48 hours at work lol. And see how i will do if i lose over 6lbs next week im going to up my calories to 1400 for a week but heck i use to drink close to 1000 calories a day not counting the food id put into my mouth.

That sounds like a plan! I have increased my time on my gazelle to 60-70 mins, and I could go longer thanks to phen... i can't believe all of the extra energy I have these days!!!

Most people that have a huge loss in the first week, start to see it level off... just make sure your doctor knows and follow what he/she says. Otherwise, just keep doing what you are doing!!!
