Good day all,

Today is my very first day using the site. I am currently 190 pounds with a goal weight of 140. I was prescribed Phentermine 37.5 MG by my doctor today to aid in my weight lost. I have never taken a diet supplement before so I'm a little nervous about it. Have any of you ever turned to weight control pills or shots? What are your experiances.

I am excitted to start this new journey and look forward to taking this journey with you!

    I've tried different supplements, but I've found good old fashioned watch what I eat, eat in moderation and exercise is the key to weight loss for me. :)

    BTW, I should add -- At my heaviest, I was 203lbs and am now right around 146lbs. So, you CAN do it!! :)

    I want to get down to 140-150#s. Current weight is 193. Would really like to drop 50-75#s. Please feel free to add me as a friend. The more encouragement/support the better. Anybody reading this post may add me as a friend as well. The more you move, the more you lose.

    Good day all,

    Today is my very first day using the site. I am currently 190 pounds with a goal weight of 140. I was prescribed Phentermine 37.5 MG by my doctor today to aid in my weight lost.

    Be careful with that, I was on it for a while and as soon as I got off I didn't change my eating or exercise but i gained back everything and then some, I am surprised they started you out with a high dose like they did. They usually start out with 10 or 15 mg (or they did me and a friend of mine too)

    Good luck, Feel free to friend me I am working on loosing almost 150 lbs on my own... MFP is a great support avenue.
