im like everyone else
 

Hello Im new. I have been dieting since 1/9/06 and so far have lost 27lbs. before you jump all over me, Im on phentermine, I eat between 1200-1400 cals a day, work out for 60 minutes 7 days a week, and only drink water.

I do tai fit workouts one week then the next I do my treadmill. I find that if you switch up work outs you see better results faster.

How are all you doing on your diets?

Oh and I see my doctor (the one who placed me on phen) once a month for healthy check ups.

Hi there....
 

Glad to see your progress. What does the phentermine do for you?

its just an appetite suppressant and Im not allowed to take fat burners or any other weight loss pill with it. So besides from it only leting me eat what I can Im taking off the LBS with my workouts. Only a doc can get it for you, unless you pay 130.00 to buy online and you would also be risking wasting it becuase there are alot of bad people on the net.

Im pleased with it, I really need to be down to at least 150 by July.

:bravo: on your 27 Lbs loss!! You are doing great.. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you. I owe it to my treadmill LOL

WOW congrats Hollizle....that is excellent progress......funny my DR's are putting me on Phentermine........have you had any side effects?........They said it will help me lose the last of my weight, I only need to lose about another 50lbs......I have to waite another week as I had surgery last week....so this is great, another person on phentermine.!!!!!we should buddy up!!lol

Dry mouth is about the only side affect that I still have sometimes. I did get dizzy but that went away.

Yes we should buddy up!

Yeah my Dr told me it has to monitered for BP!!.......I am really excited to get going on it.....I had been on it a couple of years ago and lost a good amount of weight!!....so what do you do for the dry mouth?

Drink water lol. Thats all I can do. hey do you know If I can take one a day weight smart with it. She told me not to take any other diet pill with it but I thought that all one a days where vitamins?

No you cant! It has a metabolism booster in it...listen to ya DR!!!lol

ok so what about just a vitamin

oh absolutly...........infact it is recommended!!

Is Phentermine available in Canada? I wouldn't mind having something to help boost my weight loss and get me started, I seem to have trouble getting it off.

I just did a search and it says that you can get it in canada. I know how you feel about having trouble getting off the weight.

You are on your way to a hot beach body this summer. I find also that switching up the workouts helps a bunch. It is also nice because then you don't get bored. What is your favorite workout?

You sound like you are really doing well. I think you are right about mixing up the exercise. I try to get in at least six days a week. I give myself one day off. What is your favorite exercise to do.

I actually did tai-fit the first month. Do you know what it is? I thought it was like tae bo. Its a kickboxing DVD. I hurt my ankles so I bought the treadmill LOL I hurt my ankles and bought another tool to hurt em' again I know Im nuts. I hope that I can switch out my workouts monthly. How often do you switch?

Oh sorry my fav is the Tai-Fit but Im stopping for the month. I workout 7 days a week 6 days for an hour and on sunday's for 30 minutes. Im pushing very hard but that last time I went to the beach I was 130lbs, I dont want to go back over weight, or under weight for that matter. I am 5'8 and I weighed 130lbs I have a pic of myself at the beach and you can see my bones. Im just trying to get healthy for the fisrt time in my life.

I don't know the calorie level in these, but my mom had severe dry mouth during chemo, I got her these Sugarfree AquaDrops you can get in the gum / candy section. They helped significantly... but again, don't know the calories on them.

Thanx I'll check em' out

Phentermine Warning
 

***Warning about Phentermine!!!!*****

I don't mean to be a downer here or on your weight loss plan, but a few years back my husband & I both took Phentermine (Phen-Phen) from a weight loss clinic (w/ a doctor's supervision & all) and both lost 30 lbs. each in 2-3 months. First of all, that's way too fast! I developed gallstones and had to have my gallbladder removed! And that wasn't the worst of it. Now I have problems with my heart, it flutters quite a bit, and usually while I'm at rest (caffeine makes it worse). So, I not only had to have gallbladder surgery because of the Phentermine, I also have permanent heart damage. It was a quick way to lose weight, but now it's a real concern for me. The last time I went to the dentist, on their paperwork they ask if you have ever taken phen-phen. The reason being, if you have any heart damage from it you have to take an antibiotic before having them work on your teeth, something about getting bacteria in your bloodstream can be dangerous.

Just thought I'd share. I don't want others to go through the same thing!
