How much can I loose by October 20?

Hi everyone,

I am finally starting my first round of phen, and I was wondering how much I could loose by Oct. 20. My high school reunion is then, and I just found out about it. I had the prescription for about 2 months before I was brave enough to have it filled. I am trying to cut out the bad foods and trying to exercize more, but it is hard with two kids under 4. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Amy, that depends on your current weight. If you are 5 ft. tall and weigh 350 pounds, you can be expecting to lose much more than if you are 100 pounds. It is percent rather than numbers that tell the tale.
The GOOD news is YOU CAN LOSE!!

A healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. Some people will lose 4-5 pounds the first week or two.. I would honestly expect to lose about 8-12 pounds in those first 3 weeks. How much were you looking to lose in that amount of time?

How much do you want to lose by then? It really is up to you. It depends on how you go about it. In 6 weeks..... reasonably maybe 10-15lbs.

Of course you could starve yourself and lose more but you don't really want to do that, right? You want to look Good when you see your friends and family for Thanksgiving..... not like you just got out of the hospital!

I kinda wanted to lose 18 lbs but what do you suggest i eat i only drink water and drink more than 1 gallon a day

18lbs is alot in a months time. There have been people that have lost that much but I would just set realistic goals that are attainable. It is really different for each person, so if you have 100lbs to lose, I would say yes there is a good possibility that you could lose it in a month but if you only have alittle to lose, I just don't know. Keep in touch
