Need a weightloss buddy

Needing someone to be my weightloss buddy.

Here's my story. I'm a 5'11" male from NC, married, originally at 241, but got down to about 232. I want to be down to my ideal weight - 185. I have been on a fertility drug, and it made me gain some significant weight. So, I asked the Dr. for some help, and he prescribed me Adipex, which has curbed my diet tremendously. I no longer have the itchy cravings in the mid-morning and mid afternoon like I used to.

I started taking the Adipex on Friday, and as of this morning, I was down to 226.5. I have been drinking slimfast in the am and for lunch, and a reasonable supper in the evening. I'm trying to get adjusted to the pill this week, and get some healthy eating in place. I used to walk at lunchtime, but stopped about late summer when it was getting real hot here. So, I'm going to start that up again. I also have a flexgym, that I plan on getting aggressive with. Any other helpful tips would be great.

I hope to lose 47lbs by the end of March. Wish me luck!

Week 1 -

Lost 5.5lbs in one week. Look forward to losing another 5 this week. It's quite amazing. I've never seen so many cookies, cakes, and candies come into the office at one time. Somewhat tempting, but I believe the Phentermine has deterred most of all my snacking habits.

I've also cut out drinking all soft drinks, and just pure water. I can't tell you how good that has made me feel.

i know i went to a christmas party lastnight and ate about 1/4 of what i normally would this stuff really curbs your appetite..... i started taking my phentermine again for the new yrs challenge last sunday on Dec 11th i believe and im doin' well i weighed in at 168lbs im almost 5'7 - but i haven't re- weighed myself it seems like a i see a difference in my face like around my jaw, i never had a super double chin but i have round cheeks and it seems like i see a difference- maybe wishful thinking... by the way- im danielle, im 21 and im a hair stylist, i live in louisville ky !!! I take vitamin B-12 sublingual ( liquid form-fast acting) as well it promotes energy and increases metabolic rate as well as reform and build cells in the body ..... some people take B-12 injections along with phentermine but i dont see why the vitamin isnt as effective... and it does energize you... well congrats on the 5 lbs and good luck

I've heard alot about the B-12. Any difference between the shots and the injections? I've thought of picking up some from Walmart, but didn't know if the shots are what really make a difference, since it immediately enters the blood stream.

i dont really know? ive never gotten a shot- but i do get the b-12 sublingual at wal-mart.. theres 60 doses i think for like $4-6?? I think the ywork i feel the boost of energy almost instantly - i take b-12 with my breakfast and i take 1/2 of 37.5 at about noon - but i only take 1/2 everyday because 1/2 seems to work- i mean i may increase that in the next weeks or months but its doin' okay.... i think ill just stick with the vitamins mainly b/c i cant get a phentermine prescription from my doc- he says im crazy when i ask him sooo i also hate shots, so its vitamins for now.....hope that helps alittle .... night

12 day Update -

I have went from 231.5 to 224.0 in 12 days. I have been religiously watching my intake, and know that this is the key to losing. Even when I'm not hungry, I have to make myself eat.

I've also not had any softdrinks in over two weeks. I went from diet drinks (w/caffeine) to diet w/no caffeine. Now straight water, nothing else.

I've also been taking a B12 tablet, 2500mcg, split in the am and afternoon.

Another note, is that I reordered my Adipex (generic version) from CCBasket, and it was cheaper than the direct link from Ian. I didn't understand that, but it was about $32 dollars cheaper.
