Humm, for some reason I can't find my September 10th post, here it goes again!

@dillykim I totally felt the same way before posting in these types of challenges (the first challenge I posted in was on 3/29 this year)- but now it's kind of liberating! Plus, the accountability factor helps too :)

OMG, totally with you there!

Keep strong @ronjsteele1! I definitely think that it's possible to not see the scale drop right away when you first start working about again. This is what I've read about it from a fitness expert: "The muscle becomes inflamed and slightly swollen due to fluid retention. This temporary retention of fluid can result in a 3-…

Hello! My name is Angela, I'm 29 and I'm just shy of 60% of the way to my 82lb weight loss goal. Although, I might increase it by 10-15lbs depending how I feel closer to my goal weight. I started in January at 247#, and I'm now down to 198.2. Feel free to add me :)

18 weeks, down 27.4# since I started Phen.

Interesting. How do you know what brand it is?

Yes, I'm on the 37.5 dosage. And I'm usually in bed by 9/9:30pm every evening too! LOL :)

@ronjsteele1 I will definitely let you know! I'm going to try to do at least 2 weeks of taking the pill at 11am, and then will probably take a mini-break from it if I'm not seeing much of a difference. Good job with your consistent loss! The last 4 weeks I've been bouncing around from 202 to 198.2; SO FRUSTRATING!

Hey @Nancyh59 :), I just meant taking a break from phen (not my diet/exercise or MFP :) ) and then restarting back on it in a week or two to see if helps. Sorry for not clarifying! On 8/22, my doctor suggested that I take it LATER in the day instead of when I just wake up; it's helped a little- but wasn't how it was when I…

Charts are WAY fun! Great progress @Boise_Mom! Also, I like your average loss column, might have to copy that!

Awesome @ Nancyh59! You inspire me :)

Welcome to the group! Lots of Support here :)

Sorry @ronjsteele1 , just saw this now!! I eat back some of my exercise calories. I usually try to stick around 1300-1400 calories during the week, on the weekend I don't really keep track (but I don't go as crazy as I used to go- that's for sure!). My exercise is usually just walking 30-40 minutes a day 5-6 days a week,…

You're welcome @Boise_Mom. I already had all my weights recorded for a challenge, so it was easy to share :) I've slowed down the last 6 weeks or so, but I'm going to keep pushing!

Starting Weight was at 247# (1/4/2016) Current Weight is at 199.6# Goal weight was165#, but I'm thinking I'm going to shoot for 150lbs :) Height: 5'5'' I started phentermine at 225.6lbs on 4/27/2016, so I lost a little weight before I started :) I have been keeping track week by week in case anyone is curious :) Week 0…

13 weeks, down 27.4lbs. I've lost 48.8lbs since the beginning of the year :)

@traceyinMI, a little bit? But nothing too drastic. For now, I think I'm going to just stick with phen and maybe reconsider adding it in a few months.

@traceyinMI I forgot to add that Trokendri XR is marketed as a anti-seizure medication, but it often prescribed with phentermine for weight loss.

@traceyinMI I've read that Trokendri XR is often prescribed with phentermine. I did tell my doctor that I hadn't really lost anything in almost two weeks, which is why she added it. And heck yeah you can prove that stat wrong :)

I had another follow-up with my doctor, she added Trokendi XR. Is anyone else on that?

That's great! Let us know how it works for you :) I've been it it two months, and have lost 19.2 lbs since I've been on it.

Officially Graduated! Completed C25K W8D3 last night :) I kind of feel like a "cheater" because I did stop to tie my shoes, then again for about 10 seconds to catch my breath (it was HOT yesterday!). However, I did keep running longer than I needed too- so I think it still counts :)

@ajmurray1234 I do!! I bought this "best workout songs" album on itunes, which is basically just top 40 type music redone to faster beats. It really keeps me going :) Thanks so much for the kind words and support!!!

Finished W8D1 last night :) My running schedule got all goofy from the days off Memorial Day Weekend. I'm going to try to do W8D2 tonight, only because Saturday it's suppose to be in the 90's. Haven't yet tried running 2 days in a row, we'll see how this goes!
