Eat less move more. It works.

I'll be blunt and warn you that you wont see a lot of love for phentermine on the forums here.

There have been lots of previous posts in the forums about phentermine previously; I would maybe do a forum search to see what other people's results and opinions of it are.

Any tips for maximum weight loss, nutrition & exercise are the same as if you weren't on it. Eat less, move more.

It's a nice jump start but if it's the main tool in your arsenal, you are going to end up back where you started when you come off it.

Isn't one of the other side effects death?

OK. Obviously everyone says it is the devil. But I used it to lose my weight and along with support from my husband have lost 66 lbs. and am finally at my goal after three years. I did not take phentermine the entire time. Only in the beginning and again this past year to jump start when I was stalled. But I consider it a tool, and will continue to use it whenever I feel I need it. Yes, I agree with everyone here that learning to eat right is the best way to lose. But I knew that I could not do it on my own. I now can, it has become my lifestyle. And this app has been so helpful in keeping me on track too. Writing it down makes a difference. There CAN be side affects. For most of the time I only took 1/2 tab and it worked fine to control my cravings. BUT you have to be ready to commit to the weight loss or they are right, it will come back when you stop. I KNOW I will never go back. I am done fighting that evil!!!!! Good luck!

I have been taking Phentermine for about 7 months and right now I am down 110 lbs. Is it a miracle- no. Does it help- yes. I still have to do the work.

Wait.

Did you just say you have lost 110 lbs in 7 months?

That's over 15 lbs per month.

4 lbs per week!

I seriously hoping you have doctor supervision and I suggest you suggest having doctor supervision because if not, that's just blatantly stupid.

Does it work? Of course it works, you're practically taking prescription METH.

Is it sustainable? No.
Does it teach you to eat properly? No.
Does it teach you to maintain your loss? No.
Does it provide the knowledge needed to maintain your new weight? No.
Does it help you count calories and learn about nutrition? No.


But on the plus side, you'll be really productive at work and forget about eating.... so... atleast you've got that going for you, which is nice.

I took phentermine a couple of times about 10 years ago, I HATED it. I was jacked up all the time, sweaty, heart raced constantly, and felt sick the entire time on it. The appetite suppression it provided paled in comparison to the side effects, I couldn't handle it for more than two weeks at a time. As soon as I went off of it, the weight returned. I was miserable.

I am currently taking phentermine. My doctor prescribed it to me for 2 months. I had a BMI over 40 and I was told I had hepatic stenosis or "fatty liver".

I did notice that in the beginning (the first week) I felt like I was on speed. My heart would pound and I was running around like a crazy person. I also had trouble sleeping the first 3 nights. My doctor warned me that this would happen, but wear off. And it did after about a week. I am on my 4th week taking it, and I have little to no side effects, in fact I have a perfectly normal appetite. I eat 3-4 times a day, exercise 6 days a week. This pill is not a miracle pill by any means. I feel like it helped me get through the beginning phase where I reduced my calories and cut out all the crap food. I know myself enough, that in the beginning if I stumbled or didn't lose weight, I would have acted like a toddler and through a fit and then binged. I know that despicable fact about myself. Now that I am past that phase and I am adapted to eating healthier foods and surprisingly like them, I have reduced the phentermine to every other day and then within the next 2 weeks I will stop taking them.

I think the pills have gotten a bad rap, much like pit-bulls have. People have abused them and horrible things have happened and now everyone thinks they are evil. This drug isn't meant to be on more than 6 months and it is not to be your way of losing weight by any means. I guess I used it as a way to flush my system of all the crap food I felt I wanted at all times.

People will say that phentermine is hard on your body. It might be, but obesity was hard on mine. Phentermine did not hurt me in anyway because I use it properly and I have changed my lifestyle.

Good luck!
