Hi, I started Phentermine on June 6th (37.5mg/ 30pills) and so it's been
a week and a three days. I've weighed myself and
i lost total of 9lbs! I eat really small amounts of food
and I eat no food at all after six, and I exercise
6 days a week. I am very happy that I lost 9 lbs but
the problem is, I can't really tell any difference in my body..
I mean.. I can see that my stomach has gotten skinnier,
but my thighs and my ARMS ESPECIALLY,
I hardly lost any.. It's kind of fraustrating
because my arms,compared to my stomach is pretty fat..
Will it eventually show and lose the weight off my arm
if I finish my 30 pills??
Any advice?? am I doing anything wrong?? :(
Thanks for your supports :(

trischelle, I hope you didn't just give up. I have lost 11lbs in the last 4weeks and my family did not notice when I saw them this weekend. It's a bit frusterating but I feel sooooooo much better. Just concintrate on and be proud of your loss. And set small (10lb) goals for yourself. They will soon notice. Remember "it's all about you". Kim

Hi

I have the same problem! I lost 17lbs and nobody in my family has said a word to me. I am only 5'2" so I know it shows. I don't let it bother me. I am doing this for myself, not anyone else! :-D

Good Luck!

Well if everyone gave up after a week.. then all of us would be Chubsters!! Keep with it.. don't expect phentermine to be an INSTANT fix.. it just doesn't work that way... I have been on it for 2 months.. i have lost 25lbs and still not THAT big of a difference. Also if you are a "heavy" girl like me, it takes more weight off to see a big difference, unlike thinner girls where if they lose 5lbs its life changing! Also set mini goals for yourself, for me that works to keep my mind on something other than looking in the mirror all the time. Just keep a positive outlook and keep your eye on the prize. My prize is to someday see the 1 in the front of my weight again.. and YES 199.5 counts...haha!
