Cassandra - Thank you, that is so sweet. I just know if I can do it then you can too!! And if you ever get feeling down and about to give up, just PM me and I will try to help in anyway I can!

Lea - thank you for the wish of luck in maintaining. I came back from my cruise with the flu, finally went to the doctor on 3-30 and got some antibiotics, I have not taken phen since then and have been doing great, hopefully I will never need it again.

Hi folks… since you’re discussing goals I thought I'd jump in and mention mine… since I have never been a “normal” weight in my adult life it’s difficult to judge what would be the best for me… I’m only five two but I have a medium build – my ribcage is wide and my shoulders broad, so I’ve had to accept the fact that I will never be teeny and delicate! I used to be solely focused on getting as small as possible – I wanted to weigh 105 and be no bigger than a size 2. Now of course I realize how ridiculously unrealistic that is… so for the time being, I settled on a goal weight of 130, which would get my bmi into the high-normal range. Then I figured I would just see from there if I decide to lose more, or maintain at that point.

I have no idea what size that would make me. I’m currently in the lower 250’s and wear anything from 18-22 depending on the clothes. I guess at this point I think maybe a US 8 would be realistic but I’m trying not to get too hung up on clothes tags and will just try to pay attention to how I feel and what looks good on me no matter what size it is. SO far the smallest I have gotten was a few years ago I managed to diet down to 189, my lowest adult weight ever, and I was wearing US 16’s and even squeezing into a few 14’s.

My short-term goal is to simply break the 200-mark again. When I did it before, it was the greatest feeling I could ever imagine. So that’s roughly 50 pounds from now, give or take. My REALLY short-term goal will be just to break that “zero number”, so right now that means breaking out of the 250’s and seeing 249 for the first time in a while… then it will be on to 239, 229, etc.

I am on Day Two of Phentramin. I know it won’t do the work for me, but I’m hoping it will give me that edge to see my good intentions through while I’m unlearning all my bad food habits, and help me keep my eye on the prize!

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you!
