I guess, as everyone else puts it, I am just bragging but I have to share with everyone my success story.

I went for years and years dealing with weight problems and could not control it. I would diet, exercise, starve myself, you name it and I tried it. After feeling so desperate about it, I decided to finally go see a doctor and he prescribes me this little blue/clear pill. I had never taken medication for weight condition before and always saw other people as week if they did. But, I was DESPERATE!!!! All of a sudden I finally had the strength to curb my appetite and step away from the table. I had the energy to workout and stay on track. Within 5 months I had gone from 275lbs to 182lbs. That was in Jan of 2000. I have been able to keep it off and I believe Phentermine is the reason why. It gave me the added extra willpower and strength to reach my goals and help me achieve a better life style of eating right and exercise. All of this has allowed me to maintain my physical shape as well as mental well being.
Below are pics of my before and after. The before pic is from Christmas 1998 but I didn't start until Jan 2000 and the after pic is from last month.

Just shows with belief in yourself and a little help, you CAN Achieve your goals.

(sorry, pics won't show using IMAGE so I inserted the link)



Just keep trying!!!!

Well thanks everyone for the kind words.

EmBee30, I started Phentermine Back in Jan of 2000 and after 5 months I had lost the weight, and have managed to keep it off. The after pic was a recent one, I workout regularly and try to stay fit. I can actually say it was 90% my doing and 10% Phen. Without that 10% though, I never could have done it.
Just keep trying!!!!

Wow. That is great. You are an excellent Thinspiration.
Congrats.

May my friendships always be
The most important thing to me;
With special friends I feel I'm blessed,
So let me give my very best.
I want to do much more than share
The hopes and plans of friends who care;
I'll try all that a friend can do
To make their secret dreams come true.
Let me use my heart to see,
To realise what friends can be,
And make no judgements from afar,
But love my friends the way they are.
I want to look like this again

Talking
So far it has only been a week and I have went from 213lbs. to 204lbs. I know that the weight is going to slow down, but I hope that I at least lose 3lbs a week. Is there any advise out there from those who have lost lots of weight.
Through GOd all things are possible!

QueenB,

I will tell you one of my success secrets that has always helped me lose weight and keep it off.

When you have one of those days that you just DO NOT want to workout or eat right JUST STICK TO THE PLAN and DO IT!

That one day where you workout when you really didn't want to is the key to weight-loss. If you skip that one day it takes two more days to get back to where you were. If you go ahead and make yourself go you continue the trend you have set and will thank yourself a few days later for sticking to it.

Trust me, it is not the days you go religiously and willingly but the days you go when you really didn't want that makes the difference. Even if it is going to the gym and just going through the motions it is better than not going at all!!!!!!

Good Luck!!!!!!
Just keep trying!!!!
