  • Lost 85lbs on phentermine w help of a bariatric doc. Life long struggle between healthy weight and over weight. This medication helps reduce appetite. I was constantly hungry and this gave me control. Took over a year to reach goal so not a quick weight loss fix. I still record EVERYTHING I eat. Still workout regularly and…

  • @ swambsganss - perfectly said! I was about to comment on the place for vlcd's (very low calorie diets) - which I have been on - but swambs explained it very well. Many medical programs/docs use it successfully to jumpstart patients into a healthy lifestyle. There are many paths to health and the main focus should be to…

  • Long time yo yo dieter here and going to weigh in on this (no pun intended!) - have been working with a bariatric doctor (obesity specialist) for almost 2 years now. lost 83lbs as of this morning. Almost to goal ( I am shooting for a body fat percentage of 30% versus a number on the scale - currently at 33%). And for the…

  • I use the Bulletproof - but honestly, I don't see much difference in any other MCT oil I have tried (have not tried NOW). I have not tried the coconut oil but I see a bariatric doc and she uses coconut oil herself. - she puts a tablespoon in her own coffee in the AM like Bulletproof suggests.

  • Hey traceykopp, Most docs will only prescribe phentermine if you fit into the category of medical advisement for the drug. This would be a BMI of 30 OR a BMI of 27 with a medical condition of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, et. The biggest issue for you is the medical tests results are all good and your…
    in Anyone taking Adipex (Phentermine)? Comment by nbg127 December 2013
  • So I used diethylpropion (milder appetite suppressant) last nov, dec, jan to shed 45lbs (started at 225lbs). I changed my diet and added exercise. I maintained my weight within 8 lbs and over the summer. I now see a bariatric doc who suggested I try phentermine after difficult starts to try to lose the remaining weight. I…

    in 47lb down so far.. Still some to go! Comment by nbg127 February 2013
  • I went through this exact situation myself this year. It hit me in October when I realized how little I had actually dropped in weight. I was hitting the gym and trainer at least 3 days per week and walking hills on the other days. I decided that I wanted to actually get the scale to move downward and focused on my food…
    in A year has gone by ....and I am left feeling disappointed Comment by nbg127 January 2013
  • Yep! I'm pretty much in the same boat. My all time high was 225 - lost to 179 about a year and a half ago and then back up to 216 by the end of August. Working my way down again but feel much more determined and positive that I CAN do this. At 189.2 this morning. Great idea for a thread as there are some days I feel like…
