"I went to my doctor who prescribed phentermine, I have worked hard losing about 5-10 lbs a month and it has not been easy. I eat at least 1200 calories a day, limit the bad carbs, and try to exercise 3-5 times a week. I eat like a person diagnosed with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, or PCOS would. I have never been diagnosed with these things but I know if I do not eat this way I will probably have issues with these in the future. Phentermine has really helped me changed my lifestyle. Had a not gotten pregnant and miscarried I would be at my goal weight right now."

Phentermine.com What is the deciding factor that made you decide to change your lifestyle? |
|
Alyssia I had struggled with my weight for most of my life but was always able to hide it very well. I moved out of my parents house and lived off the McDonalds dollar menu. I knew I did not want to continue to live this way and sought help from my doctor. After months of seeing nutritionists and working out, I had lost nothing. I had gained 40 lbs in a year and knew, at 19, I was not going to be able to live long being 230 lbs. |
|
Phentermine.com What was the most difficult adjustment to your new lifestyle? |
|
Alyssia Getting into a routine. I do much better when I can do things on a schedule, but after a few weeks I loved my routine! I would come home from work, exercise, make dinner, do homework, and still was able to enjoy the rest of my night. |
|
Phentermine.com What is the most rewarding part of your new lifestyle? |
|
Alyssia The most rewarding part is how I feel about myself now. I feel so much better about myself, I feel like a strong person who can do anything I set my mind to. I also love being able to find clothes I fit in and all the compliments I get from friends or family. |
|
Phentermine.com Do you have any words of advice for the Phentermine.com community? |
|
Alyssia No matter what your loss is, whether 1,2,or 3 lbs, it's a loss. Do not get upset over small losses because it's better than the scale going up. Do not always concentrate on the scale, make sure to measure your inches as well. I finally realized that I am much happier trying to stay with my lifestyle than sitting on the couch eating. I do not care how long my journey may take because I know, like all things in life, I will be rewarded eventually. |
