We seem to be on an identical path. I too started in August at 232 pounds. I am now at 186 and would like to lose an additional 40 pounds. I was being very diligent about getting in a walk daily but as I start to feel and look better and people are noticing the changes, it seems my motivation has taken a bit of a holiday!

And just one more question....how the heck do you get the crazy things off?!

I have been taking phentermine for 3 months now. I absolutely love it! I have had only two side effects: my scalp will tingle if I don't eat enough and I get dry mouth if I don't drink enough. Both of these are good reminders to me. For the first time in my life, I feel like a normal person who isn't obsessed with food.…

I found a champion sports bra at T J Maxx that is phenomenal! Best of all; $7.99! Figured it was worth a try before I bought the $70 Shock Absorber.

After finding an underwire bra that I love, I would never again go without one. I thought about the two bras but wasn't sure it would work. I like the idea of…

Prescription only. Look for physician assisted weight loss centers.

The only time I have experienced this is when I haven't eaten enough. You really do forget to eat and if you aren't getting in a good 1200 calories, you will be tired. I take it in the morning before breakfast with a full bottle of water (which I am not a fan of, but I try to drink as much as I can). If I don't eat enough,…

Just curious, have cases of this med killing people actually been reported?

I guess you just have to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks.

I started taking this about a month ago and have lost 18 of the 60 pounds my doctor and I decided I needed to lose. I love it. I have had only a few side effects which really are good ones: my scalp crawls a little if I don't eat and my mouth gets dry if I am not drinking my water like I should. No racing heart. No nausea.…
