Hi, I have just started in phentermine at 224lbs. I am 5'2". I am married with 3 chidren. I live in SC. I reallly want to lose about 75 lbs. I already drink about 80 ozs. of water. I do try to eat right but sometimes I mess up. I don't have alot of will power. So I am glad I found this support site. Thanks Ian for caring enough about people to start this forum. I am so happy to part of it. I hope to make alot of new friends here.

Short term:

Good luck to you Malisa!!! Yes, this forum is just AWESOME!!! Ian is the BEST!!! :-D I have found, along w/ plenty of others, that when you are taking Phen, you don't have to have just TONS of willpower cuz it miraculously cuts off cravings for carbs/sweets, etc...That's one of the AWESOME benefits of it! I never had much willpower either, but since I've been taking this, I don't have to have willpower cuz this just takes care of that part for ya! How cool is that???
Anyhow, good luck on your weight loss journey! Keep us posted on your progress, ups & downs, etc...We'll be here ta help ya!

:-D Welcome, Malisa! :smt006 You just jumped right in and started today? I can't wait for you to post and let us know how you did your first full day! The control thing is so cool to experience and makes me think this may be what normal sized and thin people feel all the time! How wonderful that would be! Or maybe that will be how I feel after I return to normal! Hummmm :-k

:grin: I know you will find loads of positive and knowledgeable support on PhenForum and I am glad you are here. We are all in this together!!

Thanks for all your encouraging words. Yes I started today. I did pretty good for my 1st day. Not really hungry, feeling pretty good. I have not weighed yet I will probably weigh just 1x a week. So I will next Saturday.

I am doing good (I think). I have been trying to post a pic but I can't get it downloaded because it is to big. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks for all your support.
