    So I lost 2 lbs in first week. I was a little disappointed, but its in the right direction anyway. Keeping my total calories to around 1000 and trying to burn 400+ cals on eliptical at the gym most days for a net of 600.

    My first time on Phentermine was in 2011 I took it on and off for about a year. I lost 85lbs. I gave up and gained it all back. Today is day two back on it and I ready to own it this time and keep it off.

    I've been on it since December 30, 2015. I've lost 12 pounds on it, but that was within the first 3 weeks. I started another medication at the time and I've gained 3 lbs. However, as of today I am off of it and we are going to see if I get back to "normal". I went from not being hungry to being hungry all the time, and while the doc stated she never saw a reaction like that, she also stated that everyone is different and apparently I just can't be on both at the same time.

    I'm working now on getting my protein a lot higher than it normally is and very slowly cutting out processed foods.

    Six and a half pounds my first week. I'm happy with the appetite suppression and pleasantly surprised that I'm not super stimulated. For me it's just a boost. I'm eating between 1000 and 1400 calories and not doing a super lot of exercise, but still doing some every day. Joined a gym and I start there Tuesday.

    138 days. 45 pounds down! 60 to go. I haven't really lost anything in 4 weeks, though. I'm not sure exactly what's up with that. I might stop taking it soonish and see what happens. I was hoping to get to half before that. I'm trying some new things to see if it'll help.

    Let me know how that goes for you. It's good to look ahead!

    -14, 5 weeks in. My key to success is to meet my macros and try get at least 1100 calories/day in. It's hard when I can't remember to eat! ;-)

    Sometimes I have days where it's really hard to get enough calories in thanks to Phen. The increased workouts at the gym bring my appetite back up a bit.

    Made my first goal of 20lbs. 23 days on Phen. (With diligent diet and exercise). It's going to slow waaaay down for a month. I have surgery tomorrow and won't be able to go to the gym for roughly a month. Maybe sooner, maybe later. No exercise at all for a couple of weeks. I will be discussing whether I'll be staying on Phen for this period or just getting back on after I've recovered today.

    Tomorrow will be my Day 1 on Phentermine. 6 years ago I was on it after my 1st baby and did good. I've got 50lbs to loose to get back to pre-baby stage. Then, hopefully I'll still be able to get down to a healthy range for my height. Fingers crossed! I will be eating 1500 calories/day, drinking lots more water, and exercising 30 minutes a day/5 days a week.
