Hello I am Javier. I am 5' 7" and 245lb. I'm trying to loose wieght bad. But I do good for a week or two then the cravings start up, It's hard. I would like to loose 60 to 70 lb withing a year at the most. Anyone think its possible, I'm only 17 so I'm not sure I need this pill i read about in the forums Phentermine.

Please give some tips i need to know good diets, I'm even trying to get a job at the local Rec center. So i get free gym and weight room access. So I feel guilty about not working out cuz I just have to work 20 feet from the front desk to the door to the weight room. I'd loose one to two dollars pay from my previous job its thats how much I want it. I need to bet around 175 to join the sevice. So I have to loose 70lb I would of had to loose 100 if it wasn't for my wide shoulders and large neck, but please I need help I dont want to go through my young adult life being like this. It's not appealing but most of all not healthy, I know it will require hard work but I'm hopeing by talking and making friends here I will be more motivated to stick to it. Thank you

Welcome! Glad to have you here! It is wonderful that you are trying to regain control of your weight and your health now--I wish I would have had your insight rather than waiting until I was well into my latter 30's before doing anything for my health. This site has alot of good info and friendly people that are always willing to offer up some advice and encouragement--or just be there for anything. I hope you find what you need here and good luck with your weight loss goals.

Hello Javier!!! First off let me say when I was your age I was 6ft and 340. I lost 60lbs that senior yr in high school. I would like to say that in my mind I am not sure at your age how good this pill is for you. What did your doctor say about it? I found out that you have to get your eatting habbits down to make anything happen for you. Hell, if can eat a certain way and never even step foot in a gym and still lose weight. So I would say start off by getting you eatting down right. Next, find someone you can buddy up with in the gym. Find more of a mentor... I started off with my sunday school teacher. Heck I went out of my way to join his gym. You have to find what will keep you going. NO ONE ELSE CAN TELL YOU. Loseing weight is a very hard mentally thing to do. But once you take control of it. Then you own it.... If you see me on I would love to talk more with you.

Keep it up man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I know what you mean about loose it every couple of weeks. It's okay to take an off day every now and then. Don't forget that.... You have to reprogram your body to eat the way you want it to. Not how Corp. America told you or mom and dad to feed you or yourself when things are busy.

:grin: Hi Javier glad you have joined this forum.You will get a lot of information from Ian,he has researched phentermine well.At 17 I think you are too young to take it.I understand that you hate being overweight[I was the same at your age],you need to find your thing in life that gets you fired up to go.Imagine what you would look like after losing the weight,girlfriends,sports you could play.My 'awakening' was boxing,my friend took me to her gym.A boxing gym,I did my first spar in the ring and was totally hooked!It really made me want to get fit and lose weight.And I did for a lot of years,till pregnancy/kids came along,but that will not be your problem for a long time yet! :-D GOOD LUCK!!!!
