Hi all, new user and member here, 52 yr. old male. After early retirement and quitting smoking, I ballooned up to 322 lbs. I started phendimetrazine on 3/7/06 and it is now 4/10/06 (Just a little over a month) and I've dropped 20 lbs. Drinking tons of water (160 oz per day) and started dragging the dog with me on mile walks daily.

3/07/06 322lb
3/14/06 313lb
4/10/06 303lb

Wow congrats on your weight loss! I havent heard much about that med is it anything like phen?
OMG- how in the world do you get in 160 oz a day?? I can barely get in 120 a day!! Thats really forcing myself.I have been getting it down better with the new crystal light water bottle flavorings.Thank goodness for those.I do believe firmly that water is a big key to weight loss.Anyway- congrats again and good luck on your further weight loss.Keep us posted

CONGRATS!!!! It's not easy losing weight....and I too would like to know...how do you get in 160 oz/day? Do you follow a schedule of drinking it?

Thanks for the encouragement you two - Anyway, the Doctor that prescribed the pills said that I was suppose to drink the 160ozs per day - probably because of the weight I had to lose when I started. I was able to retire from my job early, so I have the advantage of just working some part-time hours and most of the time I am around the house (and close to a bathroom)! I have a couple empty 28oz water bottles and I keep one in the refrig and the other on the go. In the morning, I try to drink at least one right after waking up with breakfast or my Slimfast. Then, I just continually drink out of them through the day. My body has apparently adjusted to the intake, because I can not continue to drink water up until 9pm and not have to get up through the night - (Wasn't the case when I first started this!)

Any way, I have officially lost 20 lbs so far (Easter didn't help me - I didn't gain, but I didn't lose either) So we're still on the downhill slide - Good luck!
