My first week!

Miss Terri · 07-09-2006, 02:50 PM

Well....I have just finished my first week on Phentermine and it was a success! 4.5 lbs! :grin: I have been eating pretty much what I want (with the exception of my Snickers) but I am not as hungry as usual, therefore I am eating much less. Sure..... you still have to exhibit some self discipline. I don't get that energy that some speak of, but that's ok. I usually run 3-5 miles 3 or 4 times per week and I still am but can tell that it's hurting my running due to the decrease in calories. I am having to walk a little now, but that's ok too because I know that will get better also. I am already looking forward to weighing next week to see what that will bring. What I am worried about is ordering my next months supply. I can reorder on the 15th, but with the shortage I worry about having to go without. Had I known that it would work so well I would have ordered a two or three month supply. I ordered from dietrx.com but ccbasket was on my invoice, maybe I should try another site? Luck to all, Terri

Good Job! I just finished my first week too! (on July 7th)
I lost a total of 7-8 pounds...not really sure cuz I didn't weigh when I started...I was too scared of the scale...lol...but I have a pretty good idea of what I weighed...
Anyhow...keep it up! You can do it! We're in this thing together...for the LONG run!

I started my phentermine on the 3rd of July and over the 4th of July weekend I lost 4 lbs. and then over the next 11 days I lost another 9 lbs. I feel that I have plateaued already. But now I read about caffeine and it slowing the affects of phentermine and maybe I will have to change from diet coke to something else.

Congratulations. I hadn't read that, about caffiene. That's good to know, thanks.
I'm on my first week with phentermine too, though I had been prescribed it once before long ago and I love it. It does give me a boost of energy, I really can't do more than 15mg, but everyone is different.

I had already lost about 16 pounds, since the last week in April. I plateaued the entire month of June and that's why I ordered phentermine.
Best of luck.

I am glad to say that my plateau is over once again. I woke up this morning 4 lbs less than a couple days ago. I hope this will last another couple of weeks before the plateau hits again!

I also cut back on the caffeine in the last couple of days --not completely yet (don't want headache) but it seems to help with the scatterbraindnss. Maybe that's just natural for me!

Me too! Same thing, first week on Phentemine, and the three week plateau has ended. I'm hopeful again, lost somewhere between three and five pounds, my scale needs to be replaced but I can get a sort of range. Anyway, it's going down, so that's the best part.
