That's ok! I haven't used this in a while. It's easy, but I always forget to track here!

I'm on week 2! I'm down 4.6lbs total. I was expecting more, but then again, I have been slacking on my workouts. It's all about accountability. The containers are a huge help. I went from eating a half a box of pasta to just this little containers worth of whole wheat. I was hungry at first, but by week 2, I find myself…

This was very helpful, thank you! I don't do much dairy, only Greek yogurt. I also don't do eggs unless they're already in something I'll eat. I'm so weird... Id love to check out your diary. Thank you!

Thank you! Well I'm no longer vegetarian. I mentioned how I started eating fish after about 2007. I am asking for suggestions of plant based proteins because I only eat fish maybe 2-4 times a month. Not enough to get the proper amount of protein every day. I generally eat vegetarian. I also mentioned vegan in the subject…

This is really upsetting to me! He is not being supportive whatsoever and that's a red flag. What if you two end up having kids someday. You will gain weight because that's what happens. I can only imagine it will be even more hurtful then because it should be a beautiful thing and he should be telling you how beautiful…

Haha I hear ya! For me, normally I really don't crave sweets. I'm not a huge chocolate person. But when that time comes....it's on! Haha I generally try to just have a little piece of something. Unfortunately, my boss keeps a big bowl of candy in her office. But it's also good because she only has those mini candies...mini…

Finally a phentermine post with only a few negative Nancys! I started on 2/21. I lost 9lbs within the first 2.5 weeks. Because of how far my doctor is from my work, checking in once a week wasn't really doable. Instead, I check in once a month. My doctor gave me a 5 day trial and I came in on the 6th day to see how it…

Thank you! I tried a couple macro calculators online. Every one is giving me different information! 28 years old Female 214lbs 5 ft 4in I work a desk job but I work out 3-4 times a week I have no idea what my BF% is I'm looking for weight loss! My TDEE has been coming up as 1885 My BMR is coming up as 1668 Can anyone…

I read your previous post and then this post and I'm interested in your experience. I'm just a little confused...you said in the previous post you GAINED when you stopped taking the pill, even though you stayed within your calories and worked out? Then this post says you think people gained the weight back after they…

Exactly my point! The common idea in those who aren't familiar with it that say "YOU WILL GAIN IT ALL BACK ONCE YOU STOP" clearly don't understand. You will gain it back if you fall back to eating unhealthy. You will keep the weight off if you continue with a healthy lifestyle.

As a health care provider, I appreciate the info! I'm curious- have you found that your patients ( or those in the studies) gained the weight back because they went back to their old habits? Or did they gain all the weight back even though they continued with a healthy lifestyle? My guess would be that since your appetite…

Negative things people say about Phentermine: - It's a quick fix. FALSE. It is if you don't change your habits! I don't think anyone here that is taking the medication plans on stuffing their faces with junk food all day. - It's so dangerous For some people, yes. For me, no. I have a doctor who I see on the regular for…

This sounds terrible! I don't have any side effects like that, but I do have dry mouth. That's about the extend of the side effects for me, which it's great considering there are a lot of people who have had much worse occur while taking the medication. It definitely curbs my appetite, but I do still get hungry. It's just…

I couldn't agree more! Very well said. I needed that push, too. It has definitely taught me a whole new way of looking at food. I don't eat until my stomach hurts. I eat until I'm, not full, but satisfied. Not only am I controlling my portions, but I've completely turned my diet around. There was a time that I could eat an…

And I'm doing it with a new lifestyle and medication. So yay for both of us. Risks? I have a doctor to inform me of risks as well as a new way of looking at food and exercise so yeah, I'm very happy with what I have going on. Again, this is clearly a thread for people and their experiences on the medication. However, there…

I don't think you're being rational. Have you read the posts from people who are currently on it and/or who have used it in the past? I think the members on here who are currently on the medication have clearly stated how THIS IS a lifestyle change. I don't think anyone on here taking the medication is shoving pizza and…

I started Phentermine today and I'm super excited! I am starting with a half a pill to see how I feel on it. It's very clear that it's "frowned" upon by the people who have lost weight with diet and exercise alone and I get it. However, this is my journey and If I'm able to lose weight with the help of a medication, who is…

I haven't been tracking because I'm so unmotivated! I joined this gym that had fitness classes and I LOVED it! I took everything from kickboxing to barre to a boot camp. It was great. However, my boyfriend and I broke up so I moved out and I just can't go there anymore - too far. I just bought an elliptical and that should…

My problem exactly! I went vegetarian when I was about 13 - same reasons as you - it grossed me out. However, most of my meals were all carbs - big bowls of pasta, breads, pizza, fries, etc. You assume being a vegetarian would make you skinny. Well, it does - if you do it the right way! I did not. After reading a few…

Orchids on ribs...pinup mermaid on shoulder.

Thank you all so much for this info! It's clear that my calories are way too low at 1200. I'm upping it to 1400 this week to see where that takes me. After that, maybe I'll try 1600. My BMR says 1900! I feel like thats way too many. We'll see! Loving the input!

When I'm really hungry around dinner, I put together vegetable broth, chopped carrots, and some brown rice. You wouldn't believe how full I am after a bowl of that. They have low sodium vegetable broth (I prefer Swanson). It sounds bland, but I'm a huge fan! My mom used to make it for me when I was sick (but with chicken…

@nilojewelry It's mainly my jewelry designs/my every day life/gym pics.

Great tip! Do you mind me asking how long it took to take of the 41lbs? That is so great! I would love to lose 40lbs

Thank you! That is helpful! I checked my TDEE. It said 2500...minus 20% is 2000. That seems like a lot still. What do you think?

Thank you for that! I totally agree that he has every right to lose weight, too. I just don't understand why he's doing it. He's 5'6 and is at 146 right now! That's like a goal of mine! It's crazy. I know he's not trying to hurt me. I think the majority of it is my frustration. He tries to give me advice, and of course I…

Well, I managed to lose some weight this week, despite the fact that I quit smoking. I am very happy! Of course, I am only eating 1200 calories and last week I went to the gym 7 days in a row....but I think I can keep this up!! Thank you all :)

He said weight gain after quitting smoking happens because 1)people substitute food for cigs (which i'm not doing) and 2) cigs speed up your metabolism, but when you quit, it drastically decreases it. I think (2) is my problem. I just need to continue and hopefully things start working for me...ughhhh Thank you all for…

Thank you all! That was a big help. :)

Ignorant. And dumb. Hemp protein is supposed to be awesome for you and full of protein. Really easy to digest vs any animal product.
