"Ok, so here's my story...

I had just moved to a new town, there was absolutely NOTHING to do. I would sit at home and eat tremendous amounts of food/cookies/junk while watching tv, all of a sudden i see a commercial about health. I went to my doctor, and said i was a risk, at such a young age of 19 i was weighing in at 320+ pounds. This news got me more depressed each time i went in, which drove me to eat. One day out of the blue, I told myself i would not drink soda or any kind of fatty drink or high carbinated drink for 1 month! I suceeded to find out I lost 15 POUNDS! in ONE MONTH! just from not drinking soda! Incredible, it drove me to start slowly and exercise, i eventually gave up ALL fast foods for that month, and what do you know? another 20 Pounds OFF! JUST FOR EATING RIGHT! I was starting to get more and more impressed with myself, my whole family started realizing my weight loss in my face mostly, and my front stomach (Boy it was huge , look at the pictures!). I then realized that i should go to a nutrition center and see what i can find to help cure or speed up my metabolism so that i can loose weight faster, or atleast supress my apetite, because my stomach was rumbling tremendously! Yes most of the time i tried alot of off brand products, the ones that were ususally advertised on television. Hydroxycut, trimspa, all those...with little success, the only success was with Hydroxycut, but it made my body feel wierd. So i stopped taking that. I needed something for me that would not mess around with my health/heart.

My mother has had hardships with the weight factor as well, we ate because we liked the taste, and she cooked so good, so we ate big proportions, so one month i decided to cut down my proportions. And that helped as well, i was hungry as all hell, but i knew this is probably the reccomended intake of calories. Honestly i could say i was taking in around 2500-3500 sometimes more a day! TOTALLY UNHEALTHY! But they were BAD CALORIES, cookies, snacks, anything that tasted good that i can get my hands on, home baked cakes, etc...

I started slowly with my dieting factors, i would walk on the treadmill go to the gym for about an hour a day, i was not timing milage at this point i was just estimating how much i can walk per day, and why my body can take....

after a couple weeks of a strict diet, and walking an hour a day for 6 days, the pounds started melting off for me, but im just like everyone else i want to see the flat stomach, in less than a month.... (wasnt going to happen), i did take some turns and road blocks and discouragements, however i found a picture of me, right before i graduated high school, and i literally, put it up to the mirror and compared my smile, MY GOD, there wasnt as much fat on my face as i had before! What a motivator! So no i kept that picture nice and close to my side reminding me of how far i have come already and not to let it go! With only about 100 Pounds to go, i was more than determined to push myself, i had already lost 35-40 pounds, i wasnt going to let it escape that easily. I had no idea my mother was on phentermine, and she was loosing weight a bit faster than me, even though im young, it just didnt seem fair.

So she told me what she was using and yes she has tried all sorts of diets as well, she went from trimspa to natural pills, to all sorts of uncountable things...
not to mention we can probably open up a protien bar shop in my house because we have so many of them :) (those dont help well either)

so she explained to me what she was using, i thought id give it a shot, off of her bottle before i decided to do anything, i checked here on this phentermine.com site to see what the MG limits were and it was fairly proportioned to what she was taking, i decided to take a week of it. My gosh it helped soooo much....the weight was melting off of me, gave me more energy than ever, and it didnt feel like i was on crack or anything it was a more calm subtle feeling, but full of energy! i got to a point where i lost much weight to set myself on a low carb/high protein diet because i was so young! As a result i noticed i wasnt that hungry, but when i ate, i dropped even more weight, you need fuel to feed your body, and when thats fed my gosh look out! Anyway, i decided to go to the gym 6 days a week, and promising my self of either walking/jogging/ or even running 20 miles a week, within times spare, 8-9 months i was down to where i wanted to be.....

I WENT FOR A SIZE 46-48 WAIST MENS, DOWN TO A SIZE 32-36 MENS! WITH MEDIUM OR LARGE SHIRT SIZES! I WAS IMPRESSED!

The reaction of my family was awe, as i showed off my new body, and able to do/walk more often and longer, my blood pressure was normal and my fat percentage dropped from30-40% all the way down to 16%! i was so happy! and felt so great! my high school friends DID NOT recognize me, and people treat you different as well....

but remember one thing, you knew how it was to be fat, once you loose all your weight, you look at the world in a different aspect, and watch others react to obese people, mostly in disguest....i have come to realize that it doesnt matter what is on the outside its whats the inside that counts, and just because you are a bit over weight, or obese doesnt mean you are nothing. I have an even bigger heart now than i did before.

To get back on track, i overall feel alot more accomplished and feel like i can do anything in life after accomplishing overcomming over 120 pounds of weight loss!

thanks to the support this site has given to many and to me, many thanks!"

What is the deciding factor that made you decide to change your lifestyle?

Brandon
My health, at my age, I didn't want to die early than I had to, if I just took care of my body.

What was the most difficult adjustment to your new lifestyle?

Brandon
The most difficult adjustment would be my flabby skin, I wish I would have done crunches, and more stomach toning while losing the weight to help contract the skin back together! Also food, my mind still needed to catch up with my body, I would put alot on my plate but wouldnt eat it. I would want/crave more sweets than my body can take, it takes time, and practice, but once its achieved its full steam ahead!

What is the most rewarding part of your new lifestyle?

Reactions, beign able to do outdoor sports, walk long walks, and not have to worry about people staring, in disguest. Getting compliments on how good I look opposed to the disguesting looks.
