Where's that video?
A number of times a video showing portion sizes has been posted. I did a couple of searches for it and can't find it. Does someone have the quick link to the video or the link to a thread it's in? Thanks

How do you get back on track?
I generally eat very healthy. I eat mostly high fat, lower carb (not low carb - I can't do it). I don't eat a lot of sugar because I'm trying to preserve pancreas function (I have long term pancreas damage). That said, we had a wild weekend, which rarely happens. I managed to keep things together on Saturday both calorie…

Sleep and hormones
Has anyone else had issues going to sleep/staying asleep and their hormones changing? I'm wondering if that's why my sleep cycles are being wonky? After missing my first official perimen cycle, I finally started. I have never gone 49 days unless I was pregnant. Wowza! I am bloated, cranky (oh my gosh!), tired, munchy. You…

First missed cycle - or pregnant?
I have a crazy question. I will be 46 next month. I still ovulate regularly and fortunately (or unfortunately, however one chooses to look at it), I tend to ovulate twice a month. This is a genetic thing in our family. That said, my cycles have been really wonky for the last year. I have an 18 and 15yr old girl that are…

Order of weight loss
I've seen this on here before but can't find it in a search. Does weight come off in a first on/first off fashion or in the reverse (I realize it won't be exact)?

More then 37.5mgs?
Is anyone here taking more then 37.5mg of phentermine? My doctor is moving me to 1.5 tabs. I do not have the appetite suppression that everyone talks about. I have some - but not much. She is a big fan of dosing this stuff twice a day but I can't imagine taking it in the evening and being able to sleep! Anyone else on…

Weight lifting and appetite
I just started lifting weights again after a very very long time away from them. I am unbelievably hungry today. Is it normal for a large appetite increase when you start lifting? I'm assuming it will level out at some point? I'm also 5 days pre-cycle. Would those two things together make it worse? I KNOW my hunger…

Reacting to phent
I have determined that I am reacting to the new phentermine I got from Costco instead of my old pharmacy (it's a different brand). I am so frustrated. I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and ask her if I bring in my bottle of full phent and give it to her if she'll write me a new script to take back to my old pharmacy.…

need some non-dairy low carb suggestions
Hi, For health reasons, I am needing to go to a lower carb diet. Not extreme low carb, but definitely lower then where I've been. I'm aiming for about 100-150 carbs a day. I can't do dairy very well (extreme whey allergy) and dairy is often a huge source of protein and fat. Does anyone have any suggestions for upping my…

Ordering Phen without script.....
Not worth it.....I really hate doctors. I avoid them at all cost. So I decided to spend $133 and ordered phentermine from overseas without the prescription. It didn't work. Either a fake or a very watered down version of it so not enough active ingredient. Nonetheless, I ended up seeing an NP and had her prescribe…

Questions from starting phen
Are the first pounds lost with phentermine mostly water weight? I lost 10# using MFP over the last 5 months but am wondering about this initial first week on phentermine if it's mostly water and I really shouldn't count it? I'm cycling so I know I'm letting off water anyway, but still wonder about what's "normal" otherwise.

Starting tomorrow
I finally get to start the phentermine tomorrow. I am starting on half a pill, every other day. I am glad I had blood work done b/c we did just discover that there are several things off that are probably greatly affecting my ability to lose weight. Hopefully, correcting them along with the phentermine will get my body…

What is the name of that book?
Several times on here I've a book has been mentioned that talks about changing the mindset of eating while trying to lose weight. I can't remember the particulars about it. Does anyone remember what it's called? I am struggling with eating to the point of feeling too stuffed and it's frustrating my weight loss efforts.…

How much do personal trainers cost?
Can someone give me an idea of what they pay for a personal trainer? I would like to use one for a short time (4-5 months?) but am curious about a ballpark figure for cost. I know it will vary some, but what do others pay for a trainer? And how often do you see/workout with the person?

Protein macros/sources
I don't follow macros too much right now because I'm still trying to work through other things dietarily (habits, staying in calorie range, etc). The way I have things set currently is protein 40%, fat 30% and carbs 30%. As such, that is 120gms of protein a day. I can't even get close to that at this point and my carbs are…

Fitbit question
I am not a techie type person. I'm wondering, for those of you that have lost 50+ pounds, did you find the fitbit helpful or more of a pain in the butt to use? I have no idea how they work, other then they use RF (which doesn't thrill me but I can put that aside for short term use). I have a dumb smart phone. Would I have…
