Hello my name is Tasha R. and I am from Columbus, OH.

My husband and I have started taking Phentermine on Monday, Feb. 13. I have tried every diet in the book and I know that this diet pill works for me. A couple of years ago I was taking the brand version and lost 25 lbs, but did not keep up.

This time is different. I am tired of going to the stores and having to always shop in the plus size section. I am at an unhealthy weight and this time I have to get serious about my health. Not just for myself, but for my family. I want to be around and see my great grandchildren.

My goal weight is between 155 - 165 lbs. Right now I weigh 261 lbs, I am 5'7 and wear a size 18/20 and some 22's. My husband goal weight is 195 lbs and he weighs 220 lbs. I am so glad that he decided to do this with me.

I am starting my exercising next week. Right now we are getting on a regimen with taking the pills daily and also taking our vitamins.

:( I have attached my photo of what I look like now and I am just so upset with myself. Sometimes I asked myself, how could I have let myself get this way. But I realize with poor eating habits and not being committed to personal health and well being. This is what happened to me.

:-D I am so excited to see how much weight I will lose and I will post every month a new pic.

I have one question. What is length of time you can use the phentermine diet pill?

Good luck to everyone!

Welcome to the boards! :-D

How awesome that your man is trying to lose weight also. I'm sure it'll be so much easier with him on board. None of him bringing sweets, etc. into the house trying to sabotage your efforts. That's great!

It's funny but whenever I diet my dogs lose weight as well, it's so cute!!!

I'm not sure how long you can stay on Phen. I've heard it recommended that you do 4 weeks on and then 2 weeks off. That way it's harder to build up a resistance. I plan on doing that personally.

So far I love the pills. I am losing weight slower than I like but I always seem to underestimate how long it took to put it on. If you work on your diet and exercise and learn the skills to be healthy I'm sure that you'll reach whatever goals you have set.

I look forward to seeing your progress!!!

Welcome to the forum Tasha!! Sounds like a great idea to have your hubby doing it with you.... wish I could have my man do it too but he doesn't have any weight to lose... and he goes to the gym monday-friday and works his muscles out.. he's nice and thick Anywho, enough about me... I've heard 3 months on Phentermine... but if you are getting it thru a doctor I'd go by his or her plan. I've ordered mine online so I'm going to try 4 weeks on and 1-2 weeks off to see how I do. I'm scared of building up a tolerance to it.

Hello everyone,

This is day 4 and I have not weighed myself. I am so tempted to do it, but we agreed that we would weigh every other Monday. I will say this since we have been taking this pill, our vitamins, drinking so much water, stop eating beef and pork. We feel a 100% better.

On Monday, I start my exercising. My husband works outside so he gets plenty of walking and bending done everyday.

Have a great day everyone!

Glad yall are feeling better already. Yall are gonna weigh in every 2 weeks?? Why not once a week like most of us here? teehee That way you can see results a little faster? I'm sure you're gonna be happy when you step on those scales (whenever you do it!) Have a great day!!!
