Newbie from Indiana

[jjs1379]

Hello all. My name is Jesse, I am a 30 yr old male and have been a lurker here for a while. I have battled my weight for the past 10 years but have always managed to get back or maintain a tolerable weight. That has since changed in the past few months. I have little to no control when it comes to cravings for food.

I have never tried Phentermine before and have been giving it some serious thought. I have always been able to muster up the will power to go into the gym and workout and eat clean. However since I turned 30 its like something inside me clicked and I just cant quit eating garbage...especially around the afternoon/night-time. Its uncontrollable. I have balloned from 225 all the way up to 265 in about 5 months. I calculated my current BMI at 37.3 and have a body fat percentage of 30%.

I have read some very good posts on the results of Phentermine and am seriously contemplating finding a doctor if there is one close to where I live in Indiana. If anyone has any good recomendations on how to get started PM me. I am going to post a request in the Doctors/nutritionists forums page if you have any suggestions for me.

BTW- I think im the only guy on here but dont be afraid.. i dont bite

Hi Jessie the Lurker.. lol..

There are other guys on here.. they just lurk.. or don't post much. You can try going to your GP (reg doc) and see if he/she will prescribe it due to health problems. Some doctors will. If not try googling weight loss clinics or medical weight loss in your area. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the advice I was beginning to think that my post was going whither and die in dead thread land,lol. I will check google for weight loss clinics.
I dug around the forums a lot last night and found some possibilities.

Anyone here ever use Dr. Piatek out of Indianapolis?

Welcome!!!! Its nice to see a man in the house!!!!. I just finished my first week on phen, I was scared at first but it's not so bad. I have struggled with my weight over the past few years. I tried so many things, I did lose some weight but it seem like I could never reach my goal. So, I got fed up because this time I have to reach my goal. So, here I am.

I'm from Indiana and I go to Dr. Piatek, although not as much as I would like due to money issues from time to time. The first time is the most expensive but after that it is a pretty reasonable deal. He's great though, I would totally recommend him. If you have any ?'s just ask.

Thanks for all the info I am definately going to look into Dr. Piatek and also another Doc named Krembs. I am new to this so I really dont know what to ask about or to just come right out and say I would like to try Phentermine. I dont want to go there and be put on something that I dont know about.

Just make an appt. and tell them you want to lose weight. Generally if the doctor has prescribed phen before for other weight loss patients. He/She may do the same for you. You could always embellish a little.. and go on about how difficult it is to lose weight etc etc.. they will prob check to make sure you have a normal BP and no heart problems.

For me.. I went to a doctor that one of my friends recommended. I just told him I was there because I wanted to lose weight and have been having problems doing so (which is true lol). Then went onto say that my friend had recommended him and his weight loss "techniques".

Just ask a lot of questions. There is a ton of information floating around on the internet about phen.. the pros and the cons.

Good luck with the docs!
