I have been reading all of these posts hoping one day soon I will be one of the happy people posting my weight loss. I have batteled the bulge for over 8 years now (since giving birth three times....back to back). I was never a heavy person and with it came all other problems including my sluggish energy level. I've tried SO many things and all it got me were headaches and chest pains. I'm praying this will be the one thing that gives me my life back again. My father who is coming to visit in October for his 65th birthday informed me that the ONLY wish he has is to see his little girl (funny since I'm 36) thin and beautiful again. It's been a tough road mentally, physically and emotionally. I come from a skinny family so being 200 pounds at 5'4 when I was never a pound over 130 is so hard. I had my first child at 27 so bouncing back didn't happen so easily. :( Anyway.....I go Thursday and get the perscription and of course had to read everyones plugs! This is my last hope so keep your fingers crossed for me!!!! I am scared and excited. I'll be waiting for that bad breath I am hearing about so I know it's working! ha ha BTW...what is the normal weight loss the first month?

At the weight your at now it should actully be a good amount as when you have more to lose you lose it faster when i fist started dieting about 4 years or so ago i was at 230 and i lost like 25 lbs the first month. But this time around (had a baby gained again only 50 though ) i was at 150 starting and a month later i was at 137 and a lot of inches lost ( read tammyrenees weightloss journal for exacts) I didnt exercise very much had i i probally would have lost more but chasing my 3 yr old is so tiring im beat at the end of the day.Good luck and i think you will do great but read Ians tollarance report soon as you can as that was a major problem for me it built quick like in week 3 but some people it isnt that quick so maybe that will help you also....
