Hello everyone! I came across this site after looking for information and success on taking Phen. I started 2 weeks ago from today. I weighed in at 216 June 30th and when I went for a dr. appt. that follwing monday Aug 4th I weiged 208. I was like OMG WOW I already lost 8 lbs? But my dr said it is mostly water weight. I was starting to have energy and I wasn't hungry. Even the thought of food made me feel sick on my stomach so it was actually hard for me to eat. I weighed myself Sunday Aug 10 I was dowm to 204. But I just weighed myself just now and i gained a pound? So here i am at 205! The past few days I have actaully been hungry, nothing like I felt the first week of taking Phen. Today I felt as though I was starving, I could even feel the hunger pains in my throat when I came home from work so what did I do, came home and ate probaly more than I ate the past 2 weeks. And right now as I am typing, I am feeling guilty for eating that much. My tummy hurts and it feels like there is food stuck in my throat. I kind of want to purge to see if that will take aways this feeling in my throat but I know thats not the right thing to do. I am guessing because I didn't really eat anything the first week, i am thinking its now starting to catch up with me from not eating. So I need some words of encouragement. I know i need to eat more than once a day but I just dont have the urge to eat and mentally I have it in my head, if i eat more I am going to gain weight. So I am going to try to do better for the next weeks and my goal is to weigh 200 by the end of the month.

Welcome! You sound like me when it comes to eating to lose weight...it doesn't make sense. I only eat when I'm hungry which usually isn't until dinner time. If I eat during the day, it's usually fruits or veggies unless I am actually hungry then I will eat 'actual' food. Don't purge!! Besides...that's GROSS! lol. Don't stress or obsess about your weight cause that will only make the weight harder to come off. I finally stopped obsessing about mine and the weight is finally coming off slowly but I'll take one pound at a time. Good Luck!

Thanks! I think my main problem is getting on the scales everyday to see if I lost or gained and when i see I haven't made any progress it upsets me. But I am going to try to do better for the next 2 weeks to see if anything happens.

I know you dont feel like eating but our bodies are like cars, if you dont put gas in them they wont run. I always thought if I skipped meals I would lose weight well its wrong! Your body starts starvation mode and stores your fat!! Make sure your getting protein in the morning it revs. up your metabolism. Protein is great for your body. If you cant eat then drink protein shakes or smoothies. Good luck!

Welcome! This is a great site isn't it! I found it last week. I just started a week ago. I am going ot weigh in today. I will be happy if see the scale move down. My monthly visitor is just leaving so we shall see. Plus I know I haven't been drinking my water the last 3-4 days. At any rate.....you....lets talk about you! Don't feel so bad. Now that you have experienced this moment (that is all it was...a moment) pick yourself up and get back on board and do better liek you said. This is a lifestyle change and in that, you have to change your mindset also. Begin to think first and I know there will be times that you do think but I read in another person's post that she has two voices...she CHOSE to listen to the good voice of reason and didn't buy the cookies...she knew the consequence. So keep that in mind. You don't like feeling like this and more importantly...you are trying to do something for you! Stay focused! This is a great place to come for support and encouragement!

Best of luck!

I LIVE IN ROCKY MOUNT, NC. ASKED MY DOCTOR ABOUT PHEN BUT SHE WOULD NOT PRESCRIBE. DO YOU MIND ME ASKING WHERE YOU LIVE IN NC OR IF YOU KNOW OF ANY DOCTORS IN MY AREA WHO PRESCRIBE PHEN?

ALSO, CONGRATS ON YOU WEIGHT LOSS. STAY STRONG.

Welcome! I'm in Raleigh...

Eat clean, exercise, water... NO PURGING!!! I agree with Goth, it's gross... and horrible for your body!!! Your body is a temple and if you don't treat it like such, it will rebel on you... keep your metabolism in check by at least nibbling every few hours, that will also keep you from binging. Phen isn't going to keep you from having any appetite at all, but it acts as an aid to help you make better decisions... the rest is up to you Good luck... and no more thoughts of purging!!!!!
