Is this group still active? Doesn't seem like much going on?
I just started on phentermine (37.5mg, plus topiramate & ursodiol) a month ago. I'm 5'7", 39yo, starting weight 220. I lost 20lbs my first month with a diet plan of 1000 calories, 80g protein, <100g carbs.
I'm 8 days into my second month and I've barely shifted 1 lb. The appetite suppressant effect has diminished a little, but not enough for me to go off my diet, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I haven't been working out for a couple reasons - A) it's about 104F every day where I live right now,
I'm preparing for a cross country move in 3 weeks so most of my exercise is packing, moving boxes, cleaning, disassembling furniture, C) the meds leave me light headed when I go from sitting/bending to standing too fast so I can't do anything too strenuous.
Is this a metabolism adjustment of the dreaded "starvation mode" variety? Will it go away eventually? Is there anything I can do to help myself along? Any other advice?
