Welcome! I am 5'7" and started at 200lbs. I am now at 150lbs and have reached a bit of a plateau. I, maybe, want to lose 10 more lbs, but I guess we will see.

Great job! That's awesome! I started Phen on May 3. In 5 months, I've lost 43.2lbs, which is 21.6% for me. I don't remember the last time I have weighed this little. I am 5'7" and have a lot of muscle, so I probably don't have more than 10lbs to go, if that. I have had stalls, but luckily I can see the patterns which…

Nice, what time do you take it at?

The averages help keep me motivate on those crappy weeks. I was told to break the 37.5 in half, and I take half at 10 and half at 3. I sleep well, so it seems to help me. However I have noticed some cravings coming back. I may try maintainence for a couple days :)

That's awesome Nancy. I put mine in a chart too. It helps to see the progress!

Helol! Welcome! Best of luck! It sounds like it has worked well for you in the past.

That is awesome, ladies! Keep up the good work. I also keep track week by week. I have noticed some patterns, and know that my plateaus will even out. Thank you for sharing!

Hi. Welcome. I have been on Phen since May 3, and it has really helped me get past the sugar cravings! Best of luck!

Thank you! Sounds good!

How often do you take it? Over the past couple of weeks, I only average going every 4 to 5 days with some type of help. It's normally been milk of magnesia. I also and thinking about trying the psyllium capsules.

I know it can be frustrating, but stick with it. I lose more weight at different time in my cycle. Then I went 10 days with nothing. It will catch up. I agree on talking to your doctor about the mess. Also, stress can have an effect. Sounds like you are going through a ton! :( Try eating a lot of protein, especially for…

Hi! Not b12 or shot. I was told to break the Phen in half. I take half at 9:30 and half at 2:30.

Awesome! How much are you trying to lose? 16.4 pounds in 5 weeks. Only 33.4 til goal!

I was started on the 37 dose, but I was told to break it in half. I take half around 10, and then half around 3. I have heard that it helps with an extra boost in the afternoon. I also noticed that it affects me differently during different times of my cycle. Also, what about taking a day off? I wonder if that might help.…

That's awesome! Keep it up!

Good luck! I second the logging. That is how I make sure I eat enough. ;)

This last week was that TOM, so I'm hoping that was it. I do try and drink as much water as possible, but I'm not a big water fan. I have started using some flavoring that I picked up, and I dilute it with about 2x as much water as they say. Would that make a difference? Thanks ladies!

Getting a bit frustrated! My first two weeks, I lost 9 pounds. I am the exact weight now that I was last Tuesday. Every day, I keep hoping the scale will show a loss.

Been on for exactly 2 weeks. I haven't really had any side effects. They gave me another 4 weeks yesterday, so fingers crossed they go as well!

I would pack lots of snacks. If I'm not prepared, that's when I tend to make bad choices. :) Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of water! 12 hours is quite a day! I make sure I try and eat stuff I would normally eat with my family, just in moderation. This will hopefully make it easier to keep off the weight.

That's awesome! Good for you. 30lbs is quite an accomplishment! I am in 2 weeks today, and I've lost 9lbs.

I haven't heard that it takes the water out of you. I struggled with drinking water before, but I've definitely done better while on Phen! Usually at least 8 glasses. Good to know! Friend request accepted. Thank you!

I would love to have some friends. I just started it a week ago, and I have lost 6 pounds. It makes me a bit nervous, so I am trying to do everything to make sure I am prepared for the challenges of being off of it.

Hello everyone. I lost almost 50 pounds in 2012 doing weight watchers. After a surprise baby, I ended up gaining it all back. Since then I have tried on and off to do the same plan, but I just can't seem to get past the first few days. That is when I went in and got a prescription for phentermine. I have been on it a week,…
