OK so I dont know if this is working but I have been taking the 37.5 phentermine for a week now, I htink I have llost 5 pounds but I am not sure, sometimes the scale says one thing ans sometimes another, what is the average weight lost ? How can I be sure this is working?

Congrats on your loss!! I am sure you are loosing, the scale does seem to go up and gown during the week. If you weigh yourself at the same time each day( usually in the morning) you should get a pretty accurate weight. Also try to only weigh yourself onece a week. Pick a day and weigh yourself the same day every week. I tend to weigh myself every morning (a bad habbit I need to break) but I only use the weight on my weigh in day for my accurate one.

Hi, CarysGirl! I agree with Looseit; weigh once a week. Some folks here like to watch daily but it depresses me because somedays it looks like I have gained when I really haven't. Watching it once a week helps you see a downward trend.
Within a couple weeks you will begin to feel a tad lighter. It was over 3 months before anyone noticed I had lost anything. You must set your goals for judging whether this is working for you by several standards:
1. Write down what you eat --every bite. This will keep you on your toes.
2. Do some form of exercise every day.
3. Eat several times a day-a small amount each time and ALWAYS including some protein. Eat a big salad loaded with veggies every day.
4. Keep reading here and remind yourself there is NO WAY it can't work. Use this time wisely and re-teach your body healthy habits so you NEVER have to do this again!:p

PS Weigh naked, after voiding, early in the day before eating or drinking. Just keep your blinds closed.

Thanks alot you guys, I got started on this b/c my sister inlaw lost alot of weight really fast buut I think she wasnt eating anything, I still get hungry in the afternoon, and I walk/jog 2 miles every morning so hopefully I can still have the same results she had. I only got 3 month supply and I am hoping to reach my goal weight in that time.Is 3 months long enough to see drastic results?

Good luck to you in your weight loss journey! Welcome to the forum EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT.. that's the first thing to remember! Everyone loses weight at different rates... drugs work differently for each person. You can't go by someone elses results. Just do what you're doing and you should lose the weight that you wish to lose
