[wildcatfan]

I just joined the board today and wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been taking phentermine for a week and have already lost 5 lbs. I love it!! I am also working out for 1 hour 3 times and week and watching what I eat. I really hope that my progress continues. I would love to go to the beach without feeling self concious this year. I need to lose about 40-45 lbs before that will happen, but I know that I can do it. Good luck to everyone!!!!

Hello everyone, Im new as well. I just started taking Phen 30mg Blue/Clear Sat. April 2. 2005. Can anyone tell me how long does it take to kick in? It's only been 2 days but I was wondering if anyone felt a decrease in thier appetite immiediately. I'm pretty active in the gym, and I am on a sensible diet but my down fall are cravings for sweets, mostly chochlate. I a choco-holic!!! and its worst when it is close to cycle time. So I am hoping that this take the edge for the sweets and the ocassional munchies i tend to have threw out the day.

Hello all, I am new to phentermine also. I started on Tuesday, June 13, 2006. I have not weighted in yet....to scared. I do however want to know is it normal for your body to adjust to the phen that fast. What I mean is that when I first started I wasn't hungry all day now it seems that late in the evening I get a little hungry. I am on the 30mg. my starting weight is 204 and I am tring to get to 170. I am 5'8 1/2. Can some one please answer this for me thanks. Way to Go! Metrel Demps. I can only pray that when I hit the scales I am at lest 5lbs lighter. My first weigh in goal is to be under 200lbs. I was thinking about asking my Dr to up the mg to the 37.5. This seems to be the dose that a lot of people is using. wish Me luck.

Hi
I started taking phen 37.5 two days ago and my scale says I lost 4 pounds is that possible or do I need to go by a new scale. (this scale is only 3 days old). I think I have drank more water and let out more fluid then I have in a year. My husband joked saying that it's not the phen thats going to make me lose weight but yet the 100 times I run up and down the stairs to use the bathroom LOL!

I started phentermine yesterday and I did not get on the scale. The last time I lost weight
(I was using phentermine throuh a bariatric clinic) I used the scale and since I did weight lifting quite a bit the scale was slow to show the progress I was making and it made me feel like a failure even though I had dropped from a size 18 to a size 12! So I am not going to track by weight but by clothing size.

I am starting again at a size 18 for top and 16 for bottom. My goal is to be at a 14 for the top by Aug. 30th.and 12 for the bottom. I would like to be able to wear size 9 top and 7 bottom when I reach my goal. I think this is very doable.

Eating in the evenings to relax has been a big downfall for me. I couldn't believe it but yesterday I actually went all evening without wanting to eat and I felt good! Water here we come!
