I was so wrong to stop tracking food. Good you will be doing it. Maybe we can support each other in the effort. I thought I would too. After over a year of tracking food, I got tired of it. Big mistake.
-
Me too. I hope when I get off of it I can continue charting what I eat on here. Truly, that is what has helped me the most too.
-
Me? No. It's inspiration for me to get thin like that again. I am heavy now, wearing a 2X.
-
I'd totally stop taking it. Chest and arms hurting and heartburn do not sound right.
-
For some reason the 30mg capsules work better for me than the 37.5 Adipex.
-
My doctor kept me on it as long as I wanted. After about 10 months I thought it wasn't working. I didn't lose weight, but I didn't gain. So I quit taking it. And pow, I started gaining weight back like everyone else says.
-
Totally. But I think it's true of any diet. As soon as you start eating "normally" you gain the weight back. It's just not sustainable to "diet."
-
In 4 years, I gained all my weight back. But I blame it on not logging my food. I was taking it for a year. It wasn't working that well at the end. Logging my food and exercise here was truly how I lost the weight. I started getting resentful of logging. So I stopped. Then I started gaining. I was going to a diet doctor at…

Wow, fainting spells, that's awful. I only had the problem of not eating enough for the first couple of days.
-
I am 5'0.5 (Got to get that half inch in!). I hope I really can eat 2000 and stay the same. In reality, I think I have to stay at 1700 or 1800 to be stable. My weight fluctuates a lot, and I never did get to my goal of 110. I do Zumba 2 or 3 times a week. I started weight training a couple of weeks ago, but only did it…

As long as you are logging your food, you should do great. I am not familiar with Diethylpropion, but I have done really well on Phentermine. After awhile, you'll find it curbs your appetite a bit, and you won't have any side effects. For me, it just helps me not overeat after dinner. I got as thin as I look in that…
-
What Kayakeya says. When you stop, you just want to eat all the time. But really, it's the same as anytime you lose weight on a "diet". I am thinking our fat cells have a memory.
-
I agree you should stop. I find those side effects only last a few days. If it's lasting weeks, that's not a drug you should be taking.
-
Thanks. I read the info on their site. I asked my doctor about it. He said if Phen isn't working anymore, this definitely won't. And that I can only take it 12 weeks. He kept me on Phen for a year. The last 2 days Phen worked, so fingers crossed he will let me. It makes so much more sense to take it 3 times a day.
-
Yay! Just keep logging your food. That helps me tremendously. I hope it helps you too. The first day I logged, I was honest. I ate 4 cupcakes and had a bottle of wine. My calories were 3200. When I log, I don't eat junk because I don't want to see it in writing. I am so psyched Phen is working again for me. I quit around…
-
Same here. I stay accountable by posting my food. If I don't post, I need a nudge to get started again!
-
Me too. Just started back! Looking for friends :)
-
By the way, the picture of me was when I had lost all the weight by taking Phentermine. I want to get back to how I looked there!
-
I'm starting fresh here. Please friend me! I took Phen for quite awhile and lost a lot of weight. What helped me the most was logging my food. It kept me honest. As with any diet, it seems like my fat cells had a memory and wanted me to gain weight, and fast. I'm gaining weight. This is my second day back here.I honestly…
-
I never heard of Lomeira. Is it stronger than regular Phen? I think taking a lower dose 3 times a day makes more sense. Regular dose of Phen is about 30mg.
-
Don't worry about it. After a week, you'll be eating normally, just will have a smaller appetite and be able to control your eating. I was on it and lost 40 pounds in 6 months. It sucks, but after awhile it stops working. I can't take it now, it doesn't work at all for me. I'm starting back again. I started eating badly…
