Hi everyone, my name is daniela i'm 26 and live in san diego, ca. I finally decided that I needed to loose weight after gaining 35 pounds the last few years. (the last 20 since I got married 9 months ago) I currently weigh 174.!!! My current weight goal is 135-140. I weighed this much when I was 21 and I looked great. i am really looking forward to getting into my cute clothes again. I can't even wear jeans because they are too tight and I don't want to buy bigger ones!!!! Well I can already see that there are a lot of people that are struggling with this so I am looking forward to sharing ideas on here.

I began taking phentermine yesterday and I could not believe how much energy I had. I did like 7 loads of laundry and went swimming. I plan to swim everyday since I was only doing it every other day. I think that will help.

I am planning to go to Vegas on the 1st of September and want to be able to at least look thinner in our pictures. I will post my progress in the weekly weigh in challenge.

Again thanks for this great site.

Welcome to the group. I've been taking phen since June and I've lost 28 pounds. I'm back to wearing the clothes that I was wearing before I gained weight. It's really nice to be able to wear them again and I've been getting a lot of compliments too. Just remember that even when you're not hungry if it's been more than two hours since you've last eaten have a little snack or a small meal. Because if you're not eating properly you won't lose anything . You're body will hold onto the fat because it thinks you're starving yourself. So just keep track of your calorie intake, exercise, and drink plenty of water. One of the side effects is dry mouth so you won't have a problem with the last one. Good luck to you.
