I have 19 days left for my total 3 months that my Dr says I can be on Phentermine, I have lost 46lbs but I still need to lose about 19-20 lbs, My body frame is very small so My Dr says 120-125 would be a perfect weight for me. The thing is I'm stuck and havent dropped any weight in over 5 days. What do I do? Should I stop taking Phentermine for a few days? Or a week? Any one no, Or Ian can you help me please? Thanks Everyone :grin: Current weight 141 lbs from 187 lbs

Have you noticed that you're more hungry now? What foods do you usually
eat during the day? How many meals do you eat in a day, and how big are
the portions? Have you been walking or jogging at all?

All these questions are important in knowing why you're stuck now.

Well I try and eat atleast 3 times a day, I only drink water and green tea Decaf, I eat lean jerky from Trader Joes, 3 pieces which is one serving with one serving of string cheese low skim, for lunch, and when I do eat breakfast I eat Kashi go lean fiber cereal with Silk soy milk, then dinner is usually a salud,or fruit, or some kind of light soup. I do ballet and weight training 3 hrs a week 3-4 times weekly. but thats about it. I'm curious if I'm just building up a tolerance and should I go off it for awhile. See what you think after you read this, Thanks Ian. :grin:

Well, if you're having to make yourself eat even now, then I don't think
that tolerance is an issue.

I've heard many people say that the last 10-20 pounds are some of the
hardest, besides the beginning of course.

I'd try staying on the Phentermine, since it's obviously keeping your
appetite down. But in addition to ballet and weight training, I would
focus on getting in some time on the treadmill. This is essential to
burning away fat. Ballet can be quite a workout, but there's nothing
like a good 10-30 minutes or walking, jogging, and running.

A great way to increase your fat-burning ability is to go walking, but
randomly change pace to running or a sprint for a short time. Then just
go back to walking, and do it again in a few minutes. This confuses
your metabolism so it doesn't "relax" in the lowest speed possible.
It keeps your metabolism high.

One last piece of advice is to eat more than 3 times a day. Try a snack
of say, shelled walnuts and baby carrots.
