ON MY WAY TO A NEW LIFE - Phentermine.com

Marcus Fresh · August 4th, 2008, 12:33 PM

Hey everybody. I'm a new member but have been reading the forums for a while now. I started taking Phentermine May 22 of 2008. It is now August 4th, and I am down 40 pounds. A couple things recently have been blocking me from continueing(until now). The past two weeks I have been on bedrest almost the entire time because I got a herniated disc down by my tail bone. So obviously, they had me on Vicodin and muscle relaxers. I was weiry about taking the Phentermine with the opiates, so unfortunatly, I was drugged up and getting munchies. Lol. Good news is though, I didn't GAIN any weight, just didn't lose any either.

I am off the meds now and regularly taking the Phentermine again, but my back still hurts me pretty bad. So I am going to make sure I still walk the dog to get my exercise and then ice my back at night or something. But sorry this is so long. I just found that all you guys on this forum give such GREAT feedback and incouragment to others. So anyway, I'm going to try and post up a couple pictures.. (This is my first post, hope it works.)

Wow! Congratulations on your 40 pound loss. You look great. Yes, everyone here is very supportive of each other. It's a great place.

Marcus Fresh · August 4th, 2008, 12:51 PM

Well thank you very much! You as well. I sometimes have trouble seeing the weight loss at all except my face, but I guess that's what our famous before/after pictures are for. Lol. By the way, I saw that you exercise for 4 hours a week. Curious, what do you do? Like I said before I have a horrible back; and have for years. So the extent to my exercise is walking my dog, and mowing the grass and doing yard work. Well, thanks again!
