I took Phentermine for 4 mo, lost about 40 lbs..been off it for 2 mo now. Maintaining great, I had no side effects from phentermine and I loved it.

She has prob wrote 100 posts on the phentermine page, it didn't work for you, but you don't have to beat everyone up that it is working for. It's the same as any medication diff people have diff side effects-I like that you told your story- but you can't think that is going to happen to everyone

and you are still on here ranting.......;)

what dose are you on?

Thanks!!! Yah I have been sticking at 2, did it a few times, this morning I even cut back cause it was taking all my might to do two and I also want to have enough engery to lift weights ! So I guess I can do the couch to 5k! Here I thought I could not finish it! Yahh!!

I ran two the last week and last night !!

Well don't know if anyone will check this but I slowed it down and I was able to run 15 min straight and stopped for 5 cause I was happy, I did a whole mile!! Then I did 5 more min. I just turned it down like .5 on the speed!!! I was extatic!!

She is making an effort to get healthy. In my eyes that should get applause even if you don't agree with her means. Who knows this "fad" diet may cause her to make good choices moving forth. Some people need something to follow to in the end make life changing habits.

I have been on it since mid Nov, I have not had any side effects except a little dry mouth and I think for the first 2 nights I had some small issues with sleeping. I was 125 lbs over weight and with a combination of eating right, working out and this drug I have lost 71lbs. I started in Jan of 2014- Mentioned the med to…

I make a pound of turkey burger- bag of mixed veggies- brown rice and some salt pepper and garlic salt. Makes a few meals- Nothing fancy but fills me up and quick to grab

Thanks alot! Yah I am happy about that and I know I do get in a great workout and breaking it down I am "running" at least half of it. Plus my heart rate stays up in those two min of walking so I know it is great for me. I think it would just be a success for me to be able to do a mile straight, and I am sure I could- so…

Yes I am going to give it a shot and see what I can do. I just assumed I was already going slow. But from the great advise I have got on here. I will slow down and see how far I can go :)

Thanks!! Also I am assuming the lower I get in weight it will just be plain easier also, I mean I still weigh alot.

I probaby just stomp! :) I walk really hard too, So I would think I would be a heel strike...am I understanding this right.

yah good point. Would it be more of like a shuffle..I am going to try it tonight-

Thanks ! I never thought of going slower, I thought I was already moving like a turtle! :)

Thanks everyone for all your tips! I thought I was going super slow at 4.8-5.0 but now I see that I was "running" at that speed and not jogging. I will slow it down and see how far I can go I usually walk at 3.8 so like the other post said I could jog/walk at the same speed and it would be easier . I will give that a try.…

Well I am only running at 4.8-5.0 so I am not going fast at all. Well I guess maybe for me it maybe too fast. I did the couch to 5 k and I got up to the 5 min week, I think like week 7 and then I stopped. I mean I know weight does not totally matter, but I feel I should be able to run more- I was 284 and now am 213- I know…

I would go to a DR and get the real thing and have them manage you

I have taken it since Nov and I only could not sleep for the first 2 days, I dont have any side effects and it works great for me! I have lost about 27 lbs and I am on my month three (about half way). My Doctor has done a good job managing me- making sure I was eating enough and checking blood pressue- everything was fine.…

I am doing great on it I am on month three and I am down 26 lbs- I get dry mouth and the sweats sometimes. But other than that you still have to make good choices and work out. It is not magic, but when you have alot of weight to lose it is a great tool to keep you going and away from cravings. Of corse for everyone that…

I would not worry about it, I am a medical coder and we have to put that on the charts the BMI range and then it classifys as a dx, its just a dx....

Well for me I lost 45-50 pounds on my own before I was given the phentermine. So I learned my habits and control before and was in the "right mind" to use the rx. That was a stipulation from my Dr. He was NOT going to just give it to me and not put in any work before hand. Like we all know it is SUPER hard to lose weight…

I am taking it now and I dont have any nasty side effects- I sleep fine and I don't over eat and I dont get shakey or any heart papulations- no mood swings- I still eat healthy and excersize- it has curved my sugar cravings and helping me. I am very satisfied with it. I also am under Dr supervision and he is making sure I…

Jovannadehaling, I am on day 12 and I have lost 11 so far. I am on the highest dose and the Dr said next week if its going that fast he is going to reduce me. My BP has been great and I had a plateau about september - from losing 50 lbs without the meds...so I think it is just a water/start up phase. I am doing great! I…

I would go up to those men and say if you had any intelligence this is the best place for my fat *kitten* to be and walk away 

Well the last time I lost weight, I did a low glycemic diet and basically lost 56 lbs in like 4 mo! It was super restricted. I kept it off for about a year or two. Then I got preg. I started to have "treat days" of the low gly plan and it shot my weight up like a rocket. This time I am eating as long as it fits in my…

Thanks everyone! Great advice!

Thanks ocean

PHIL!!!! LOL NO THAT IS REAL THE ANSWER, but maybe I do need to up my calories to have not the urge to eat crap
