O.K., so today is my official start date. I took half a 37.5 mg pill this morning and boy am I feeling the effects. So far I have only been able to eat a small fruit cup. I have a 10 month old baby girl and I still have 35 lbs to lose. My first mini goal is to lose 12 lbs. by her birthday on September 24. I weighed in at 200 lbs this morning so that would be 188. Wish me luck. By the way, I'll take any tips, etc..

:-D Hi, Yaya! Glad you are here!

Eat often; I think that has been the greatest advice I have gotten AND applied. I eat about 200 calories every 3 hours and each time I include some form of protein. Fat free yogurt and almonds, Kashi 7 grain cereal and skim milk, salad with chicken, tuna with broccoli slaw..

And DRINK water all day long!

So, today went pretty well. I only took half of the 37. mg pill at 8 am. I ate a sandwich for lunch and had a little bittle of non fat popcorn for a snack. For dinner I had a small amount of steamed rice with chinese vegetables. I also did 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer and it was a breeze. I am usually huffing and puffing at 25. I think tomorrow I might take 1/2 of the pill in the am and half at about 11. Thank you all for your suppport, tommorrow is a new day. I am sooo excited!!!!

Hi Yaya,
I used to live south of Corpus, in Port Isabel! Nice to see you here. Good luck on the Phen. I have had better luck with taking the whole pill at once, but sometimes I had to experiment with times and doses. Recently Phen stopped working for me, and I tool two weeks off, which worked like a charm. Now it works again.
Best wishes
Jasmyn

Yesterday went very well. I was able to workout and eat less. I did have a bit of trouble sleeping though but this morning I jumped out of bed with sooo much energy. I took half a pill at 8 and I did not feel the same effects as yesterday. I ate 1/2 a taco. I just took the rest of the pill right now. Maybe tommorrow I will take it all at once. Well, wish me luck. Have a great day!!!

Keep it up! You're doing great!

P.S. My bro & his family live in Corpus. Never have been down to visit him, but I would LOVE to! It's 13 hours away, & I HATE traveling! BLEH!
