Ok so I started taking Phentermine on July 14th 2006. So far I have lost 8 1/2 lbs. Which I think is great. I just had a baby on June 9th and I'm getting married on Sept. 30th. I really have to lose all this baby weight cuz I already bought my dress.( I bought it be4 I got pregnant) I got pre-eclampsia while I was pregnant, which made we gain weight like crazy at the end of my pregnancy. I gained a total of 58lbs. I'm 6'2 and When I gave birth I was 228! The most I have ever been in my life and I used to be a thin person. So, now I have like 68 days to drop about 37 more lbs. I have cut back on my eating a lot.. thanx to the pills and I started working out at a gym yesterday. I am really motivated to lose this weight. If anyone has any tips on how to work out at the gym to really get my stomach back to normal let me know. I really need all the help i can get! Wish me luck.

Hey there...
I just had a baby in April and started phen July 13th. I've lost 5 lbs and have 15 more to go. I've been exercising about 5 times a week and eating REALLY healthy. No sweets, no white breads, (only whole grains), no sodas, nada. It's pretty amazing that i've been able to go this long without having any cravings for that junk food. I try to eat protein for every meal, drink LOTS of lemon water and crystal light, and make sure to have snacks in between meals (cheese stick, nuts, etc.). So far so good. Also no snacking after 7:00-7:30. To get rid of the stomach all you can do is cardio cardio cardio and then more cardio. And of course to define those muscles, start doing crunches every day. I started at 3 sets of 20 and am now up to doing 200 a day. Also, check into doing the cycling class or kickboxing classes at your gym. I've been going and I love it. A good kickboxing class for an hour will easily burn 500 calories. Good luck and congratulations! You can do it! :grin:
