Hello everyone! I'm a 22 year old military wife and mommy to two boys, ages 1 and 3. I've been heavy most all my life but after I had kids and became a stay at home mom it just got way out of control. I don't have much motivation, I'm 1500 miles away from my family and my husband is one of those "I love you just the way you are" people...lol. So it's not much help. I'm very much looking into starting phentermine. I tried it years ago and lost 13 pounds in my first month..it was prescribed to me though and I didn't weigh near as much as I do now. I've tried just about everything but nothing's really working and I'm about to give up hope.
Thanks for having me and I look forward to starting this!

Welcome Dawn! Happy to have you here! This is a wonderful site, and a great support group! We talk about just about everything lol.

Do you mind if I ask for some info from you? Like your starting weight, your target weight and all that kinda stuff? Also are you going to be using the Phentermine? Let us know and keep us posted!

WELCOME!!

Hi! Actually my name is Julie, my middle name's Dawn, lol. I do plan to use phentermine again, gonna buy it tomorrow. I'm 210 right now and my target weight is 130. I'm 5'2. I hate being so overweight...being short doesn't help. And I'm one of those people that gains it all over...but after having my kids my face has gotten much fatter and I have a ucky pouch. Right now I wear a size 18 and can't wait til I can get rid of all these clothes and buy a whole new wardrobe. That'll be my reward! :grin:

Hi Julie, we are on the same goal, Im trying to reach 130 myself and I am 5'2 also. It is pretty hard but you know with commitment and motivation you can do this, this is my 19th day on phentermine and I can say that the first week I lost 7 pounds, now its slowly coming off and I dont weight myself till the end of the week but i can bet you one thing, it has helped my portions a whole lot and my energy to workout has a tremendous increase. I have this picture of myself with my hubby at this dance that I look at for motivation, Im huge! everyone looked so good and I though I did too, but when I got the picture its like reality hit! I felt so bad. But you know Im excited and I know I can do it so you can too! So stay focus and small portions and tons of water and no coke! it was hard for me to let go of coke but believe it or not its gone!! So Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the forum Julie! Sounds like this is the right place for you to be. My husband (legally separated.... whatever) is one of those "i love you just how you are" type of guys too.. it's nice to know they will always love you but it doesn't help if/when you need/want to lose weight. Good luck to you in your weight loss journey.... I've already found out that this place is VERY helpful!! Anytime you feel like you aren't doing that good... just come post and you'll get lots of support
