I started Phentermine 21 days ago. The first week I lost 6 lbs and was estatic about it. Then I hit that Plateau where I gained a few back and couldn't go down anymore. I had an informative conversation with Cassandra who gave me some helpful tips, most importantly about my water intake.. I was only drinking 8 oz IF THAT! I despise water. UGH! Anyways, after implementing this increase (atleast 48 oz for now) I have started loosing a pound a day. Now I am 11 lbs down and very excited about it. I wanted to post a few pics of my face and tummy so you could see the difference that the first 10+ lbs makes. Hopefully it will inspire some newbies (or oldies) that are discouraged. *sigh* I didnt realize how much my face had changed until going back to recent pics of myself.... honestly I found it embaressing. I took the picture of that magazine model with a tight bod off of my fridge and put up one of myself for motivation. Hits closer to home ya know?!

Anyways, here are the pics.

This is a face pic from January: NO.. you cant pinch those cheeks. UGH!




This is a recent face pic, since I've lost this weight. Thats where I noticed the biggest difference.




last, and CERTAINLY least are my before and after belly pics. **blushing**

Awesome progress. Your face is definitely thinner. I hated my face when I was overweight. I wish I had an old pic to show you. By the way, I like your signature pic.

Wow, Slaw; your pictures are beautiful. In January, you did not have anything other than a beautifully shaped, oval face. Now it most definitely is thinner, but you were gorgeous before! And your before tummy??? I couldn't even see it!!
You are so close to goal and show a huge difference, Girl. Thanks fo posting those!

It's crazy how losing only 10 lbs makes you look like a different person. By the time you hit your goal, your after pic will look like the daughter to the before pic...(did that make sense??) Well anyway... keep up the good work...and your water intake. Try drinking it through a straw...bypasses the mouth altogether...
