Hello out there! I am 5'6 and I currently weigh 165lbs. I am getting married March 19, 2006 and I am wanting to lose some weight so I can look my best for pictures and my own self esteem. I am trying phentermine because I heard it works wonders for your appetite. I started last Saturday and lost a few lbs already! Yahooty! The first few days were hard. I didn't sleep at all one night and two days I was extremely bratty. I cried those two days (which I am not normally one to cry) but now things have seemed to settle in. Looking for motivation! :-D

Congrats on your engagement. And welcome to the group. With phentermine it does cut back on how much you eat but you also have to change the way you eat too. You will eat less on phen but make sure you are eating the right things:fruit,veggies,salad. Make sure you drink plenty of water, that's not too hard with dry mouth being a side effect, but sometimes you can feel full from drinking the water so just keep drinking through out the day. I don't know if you are a breakfast person but make sure you eat something in the morning. I eat yogurt and a bowl of cereal. There will be times that you won't feel like eating but if it's been a couple of hours since you last ate, you should still eat to keep your metabolism going. Something small like yogurt or fruit will do. And don't forget to exercise. If you don't exercise now, just start out slow like going for a walk for thirty min. I hope this helps you out. Good luck to you.

Thank you so Much May! Thanksgiving was very hard! But I made it through! Does anyone know if the Crystal light's count as water? Also how often does everyone weigh themselves?

TIA
