I started Phentermine about 1.5 weeks ago. I used to be very thin at 5' 7" and 135 but two kids later I was 188. Three things factored into my steady weight gain in the last five years. Binge eating at night of sweets and junk food in large amounts. Lack of excercise and no motivation. Sooo, I am trying Phentermine to mainly just curb my cravings.

The first day I took half of 37.5mg and it killed my appetite and seemed to work really well. But after only a few days I don't feel like it is working as well. I am getting really hungry around 11 am and I don't take lunch until 1 so it keeps me thinking about food until lunch at 1. I still think I am eating less. But with Girl Scout cookie season upon us and being the Cookie Mom for my daughter's troop makes it hard to not have a few during the day.

My questions are should I be taking a higher dose? Also, I stepped on the scale the other day and I was down to 184 - so I thought I lost 4 lbs. But that night I stepped on again and I was back up to 188 for a couple of days and now this morning 185. What is going on?? Is this normal??

scales are going to vary all day as you eat and drink water lots and lots of water i weigh once a week cause i got tired of the varying results daily but i started out taking the whole 37.5 and i was feeling the resistance at about week 2 that was a whole pill now but from what i have read resistance varies on people a major factor (ive read ) is caffiene as in drinks coffe soda tea ETC as well as food chocolate lots of food has caffiene i dont drink soda at all i drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning but that is all the caffiene i have and i still got a resistance quick so i now am on about almost 2 months on the phen i take it for about 2 maybe 3 wks and then i stop for a wk or 2 i take lipodrene when i cycle off the phen (i lost most of my weight on ephedra) and also lemon water Ian has a tolarence report look at the top of the screen free reports i think it is its a lot of info on tolarence
