hello everyone... my name is kavetetra LOL :grin: dont try to pronounce it...LOL :grin: .. anyway I must say that I Love this site, it is terrific... this is my first day here... and I just recieved my Phentermine 30mg blue/white today... unfortunately when researching this product I only looked into health issues and pricing I didnt think to look at the possibility of coming accross a bogus online pharmacy. Anyway I ordered my Phentermine from IPill.com. I orederd it at 11:20pm 8/3/05 and I recieved it FedEx on 8/5/05 so the shipping was right on the money like they said... I will have to give you all a later update on the product once I start taking it.. Ok.. well here is my story LOL.. In 2004 my weight had ballooned up to a whooping 255lb my BP was HIGH i was on BP medication plus the weight had my menstrual cycle all jacked up so i was also on hormone therapy. Also I suffered from sleep apnea and acid reflux... all this due to my weight and Im only 27 years old.... Well i started taking Metabolife w/ephedra and it worked like a MIRACLE PILL SENT FROM GOD ALMIGHT HIMSELF lol... :grin: i lost 37lbs in 3 months my BP normalized to where i could come off the medication, my cycle became regular so out the window went the hormones pills, and i was sleeping better than ever... Well you all can guess the end to that story... the nightmare returned when the FDA (FatPeoples Demon Advocate) banned Ephedra in the US. Therefore currently i am back up to 251lbs, back on the Norvasc 5mg a day for BP, back on the hormone pills, and i wake up about 7 - 9 times a night due to sleep apnea, the only good thing is the acid reflux didnt return because I cut out a lot of spicy hot foods and eating late at night... So now...lol :grin: here I am trying to find a solution. For me what kills me is the constant hunger. I just cant deal with them hunger pangs... If I can get the hunger pang to a low mininum I can stick with any weight loss or exercise plan. That is why i lost so much on the Ephedra it suppress my appetite and gave me energy. What i am hoping with the phentermine is for the same appetite suppression that will keep me from eating up everything in sight lol. :grin: The only thing that I fear is the depression side effect. I have tried the Ephedrine 25mg HCL and it worked for a few hours but it caused me to be extremely sleepy at one point of the day and then extremely anxious with gitters at another time of the day, so I tossed that crap LOL :grin: . I will be starting my phentermine on Monday 8/8/05 and I will give you all a update on 8/15/05 (God Willing). Hey ChefD Im like you i USE to usually I eat at night cause i work two jobs, but it is important to try and get exercise in if you can, but if you cant here is a bonus for you: for every 20 minutes of average cooking you burn 59 calories, and for every 20 minutes of standing doing light work you burning 51 calories. So, that comes out to 880 calories in a 8 hour shift you burn while cooking, so you may be getting your exercise after all. I have a book the tells you how many calories you burn doing every type of physical activity possible. it even tells you how many calories you burn eating...LOL :grin: .. well anyway every body wish me luck and i wish every body else luck on here as well.. thank you Ian for this wonderful site.. may you be blessed. :grin:

:-D HI kavetra and welcome to the phen forum! :grin: I wish you well and good luck on your Phentermine experience!Sounds like the ephedra has very similar effects to phen.You will do great on it,but always remember its a temporary fix.Once you go off it,the hunger comes back double,believe me I know! :( The best thing is to do regular exercise while on it,get fit and in a routine,then you will continue it after you stop taking it. :grin: Well thats what I am doing this time,I took it last year and put all the weight back on when my gym closed during the holidays. :o Start to learn to like fruit as snacks,and put junk food off your menu until you lose your weight then only have it once a week.Water is important too,I hate drinking water,but I make myself and I feel much better/clearer skin etc.Welcome and Good Luck we are always here for support! :-D :grin:

hey thanks magenta for the reply... I know what you mean by the temporary fix.. for me when they banned ephedra... my hunger didnt really increase any more than it what it was when i wasnt on the ephedra... i just went back to my old ways and old eating habits.... i kind of got side tracked.... but im not going to make that mistake this time... i only plan on being on the phentermine 3 or 4 months at the most but this time when i come off since i now know how easy it is to gain it all back if i dont continue good eating habits, I wont make that same mistake again.

HI kavetra and welcome to the site!!!! It's great to hear that you have a plan to stick to. Most diets work better when you have some type of plan. You mentioned somthing about a book you have. What is the name of that book?

[magenta]

Hi Kavetra,I was looking on another weight loss site[traitor I am]and they were talking about ephedra and how it was banned.They said ephedrine is the same thing and that cold/flu or hayfever tabs have it in them.They are taking a couple of those in the morning instead! :eek: They also said it acts in the same way and gives them energy and stops the hunger pangs at a pinch of the cost!I dont know if it is safe to do this or what long term affect is but they are all doing it! :shock: Have you heard of this? :smile:

This is one of the reason that alot of companies started putting those products up behind the counter. People are just now finding out all the other ways to abuse these products. I know people that have done that and much more for a long time.

hey magenta i have heard of the ephedrine for half the price and i have tried it... its like almost $20 cheaper than ephedra and all i have to say about the ephedrine.. is you get what you pay for lol :grin: the ephedrine is a cheap comparison to ephedra.. it has no where near the same boost as the ephedra...not for me anyway :grin: I tried that crap and about after two weeks... I tossed the whole bottle out the window as I was drivin to work one day lol :grin: ( i know litter bug :grin: ) it did NOTHING for me. But anyway i digress lol :grin: today is day one of the phentermine i just took it 10 minutes ago... so i aint feelin nothin yet... i will give everyone an official update on 8/15/05... anyway thank you to all who have replied to my post and good luck to everyone...
