Hello all my name is Renee, I am 25 and a mother of one! Ok here is my deal I started takin Phentermine and i lost 12 lbs like the first 3 weeks... Then my purse was stolen and i stoped taking them for 2 weeks because they were gone and i had to reorder them... I have been takin them for about a week now but i dont feel the same i am takin the 37.5 mg I am working out aloty but my problem is i am not sure what to eat to get the most from energy and calories... Can anyone give me some ideas on how to do this?? I get depressed when I think im not gonna loose this weight... Here is what I am eating and my daily activity and maybe some one can give me some ideas on what I can do to improve it....
Morning I take my pill then make a fruit smoothy with strawberries blueberrys and a bannana and a cup of milk and eat a half of a plain whole grain bagel.. then I walk anywhere from 2 - 5 miles depending on my schedule.. I come home and do about 30 sit ups and a few other exercise with reps of 10 after that I hang out with my son... Run some erron or clean my house... then for lunch I usually eat a salad or some healthy choice soup.... and then i make what ever for dinner and I dont eat to much.... I feel like i should be doing so much more.... oh and I am also drinking about 74 oz of water a day, I just want to do this right because this is the first diet pill I have ever used that actually made a little bit of a differance thank you all so much for reading and I look forward to hearing back and gettin some input!!

Hi Renee! Sounds to me like you're doing everything right! I would wait about an hour before eating breakfast after taking your pill though...
That's what's recommended anyway...
Other than that, you sound like you're doing everything else right!
Hang in there! You'll do fine! Just keep us posted on how you're doing so we can give you that extra *boost* along your weight loss journey!!! :grin:

Welcome to the forum Renee. The only thing I would add is a bit more protein each time you eat. That helps to give you more energy in the calories you are taking in.
And yes, it's best to wait about an hour after taking the Phen before eating.
You should start yourself a journal in the Daily Support thread. You will get alot more help and advice there, as well as make some wonderful new friends!

Good luck and Keep us posted!
