I'm taking Phentermine 37.5 mg... behind my fiance's back. he would be so mad if he knew.. Before i can love anyone, I have to love myself first. I'm on zoloft due to moodyness when i was pregnant and i ended up losing it when i was 3 months. It was very dramatic for me being 19. I just need to be able to feel comfortable in a wedding dress. What is the average weight lost monthly? I weigh 176 and i'm wanting to weigh 140 ATLEAST. To be honest with myself 130. I had gained 25lbs when i was pregnant, I need HELP!

Hello young and welcome !! Georgia is my hometown. So sorry to hear about your loss. I know how you feel but, I was not that far along along. I was maybe 6 weeks. I had a misscarriage between my 2 and third child. I went on to have two more healthy babies and a total of 4 in all. As I'm sure your next one will be just fine.

I bet you 90% of ppl do not tell their spouses or partner either.lol It's no one's business but, your own unless you choose to tell.kwim?

I'd say 7 to 10 lbs max the first month if your lucky,maybe a little more or less. I'd take a 5 lb lose in a heartbeat at this point. Each person loses a different amount. I've read other ppl losing more but they weighed more then you. The more you weigh the faster you lose then someone closer to their goal.

Anyhoo hopefully other's will give you their thoughts on that.

Yes girl. Tylenol pm or even 3 mg's of Melantonin instead, I heard may work. Either one you can get at any grocery store or target, walmart .....

May I suggest, breaking the pill in half and taking only half a day for the first week or however long you can lose with only half. That way you may be able to sleep better and lessen some of the side effects until your body adjust itelf to this medication.jmo. Many ppl have still lost weight taking only half a day, until it no longer works and then started with the whole one. That should give you that extra boost to help get you to your goal weight.
