You may not be diagnosed with anything now, but down the road, your heart could be in very bad shape.

Obesity is also bad for the heat. So is stress high blood pressure and diabetes. We all have to choose a battle and we will all die from something.

Nothing is safe anymore. Might as well be thin and confident.

My teenage daughter lost 40 lbs in roughly 10 weeks with Dr. A. Her goal is to loose maybe 20 more and to start back hitting the gym. She's cut out all snacking, bread, sweets, and drinks tons of water.

Phentermine advice please - I took it from April to June, lost about 15 lbs, and never finished the whole bottle of pills. I went to take them again post holidays and feel like I need to take two pills for the same effect now. What do others do when the pills no longer are as effective as prescribed?

I hope that I get used to the prozac at some point because it is awful feeling like I have brain fog every day.

All the steps you are taking are the same ones I did a year ago. Good luck! I took both pills together in the morning (which Dr suggested). I get up around 7, pills around 8:30, bed around 10/11 (my sleep has always been iffy though). Sometimes I'd wake up around 3am, then would be so worried about dragging the next day but never did.

I started at 168 pounds, 3 months on the pills, lost 32. Took off about 6-7 months just to maintain, then 2 months lost about 4 pounds on my own (more like gain 2, lose 3, gain 1.5, lose 1. . .) Back on the pills for 3 more months, aiming to lose about 12-15 pounds so those loss/gain cycles won't matter as much when off the pills. Now about 126/128 and hope to finish up at 118/120.

This is lose to my starting point as well -172lb, but my goal is just 140 or so and maintain. How tall are you and wat was your eating/exercise routine for those first 3 months?

I'm 5'2. Went from no exercise to 35 minutes 4 times a week, now done to 3 times. Before the pills I was in the practice of "grazing" throughout the day & late at night . too many carbs & sugar/sweet. Didn't realize that by eating all day I always felt hungry. Doing 2-3 meals a day, no snacking meals only, and eating between 12/1pm-7pm only really changed how I view eating. Also, I'm eating real food instead of packaged items like frozen meals for lunch.

Today I had 2 cups of coffee, first meal at 12:30pm,
Lunch -1 1/2 cups of leftover grilled chicken breast with green veggies,
-1/2 cup of stuff from grocery store olive bar like olives, pickled peppers, cheese cubes
- ounce of spicy nuts & dried chickpeas.

For dinner, done by 6:45pm
- 1/2 an apple, too much crunchy peanut butter on the apple,
- 1 ounce of chocolate with too much peanut butter
- 2 ounces each carrots & peppers with 100 calorie of guacamole
- 1 cup of chocolate protein drink with spinach, chai seeds, 1/2 banana, cinnamon

Lots of water all day.

Come on now.

I doubt anyone here cares what you think.

If you haven't yet tried it, it's free, has no unhealthy side effects (if don't properly), and might be worth trying before you go on a medication with lots of side effects.

Except for the part where, ya know, you DON’T EAT.

No one cares about your intermittent fasting story. Bye!

Burst out laughing! Like, this is a thread about a simple pill to make you lose weight and dude is like “hey if you don’t eat you can lose weight!”

So funny!

If you have only 20-30 pounds to lose and are resorting to taking this drug, I am totally judging you. Really? 5'7", 170 pounds poster, I am pointing at you.

Come on now.

I was on phentermine for about 6 months, intermittently. I lost 50lbs over the course of about 18 months. That was 5 years ago. I have regained it all, plus 20 extra pounds.

It also made me crazy - crying, panic, paranoia, rage.

The craziest thing? I weigh 250lbs, I need to lose 100lbs, and I think I want to do it again...

I have been taking it since October with the Belite group.

They also prescribe another substance called 5-HTP, which you can get OTC (like on Amazon, GNC, etc). It helps with cravings and some appetite too.

I have lost nearly 40 pounds with it, calorie counting, sweets removal, and mild exercise.

I actually don't really need it much longer because I feel I have retrained my body/mind. There are some days I miss a dose but am still on track...

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. How much 5-HTP are they having you take?

They start you at 5mg x 3 times a day.

I had to increase due to cravings and am now up to 20mg x 3 times a day.

It's their answer to the Prozac part. Supposed to help with mood/cravings/appetite.

How does phen-pro react with HIIT? I'm afraid to stress my heart.

I also do OTF and did not notice any changes with the phen. I was cautious at the beginning, but Dr. anchors said that intervals were fine and that has been my experience.
