Ok, i guess this is the step to take. I picked up my pills today from the pharmacy and I will start tomorrow- Sunday Sept 24th. As soon as i wake up I plan on taking my 15mg pill. I will also weigh myself first thing in the morning.

I have to admit i'm really nervous. I have a 2 year old daughter and I just fear something will happen while i'm with her. I stay home with her so most of the time its me and her from wake up until 6 pm. I have this fear that i will pass out or soemthing crazy and we will be alone...I knwo its silly but i cant help it. I jus thave to get this out of my mind or my hypocondria will get the best of me. I'm only 26 so nothing bad can happen right??LOL

Anyways wish me luck tomorrow...i'm going to bite the bullett and jsut do it. I will write more tomorrow night and tell you guys how my day went.

I felt NOTHING but an ability to control myslef. Many feel clammy or energetic for the 1st few days. Please try to set aside your worry. You are not taking a chance with your life. You will still think straight and you may be like me in feeling nothing but control. It IS, however, still helping me. Once I get to my goal..5 more pounds.. I will stop them.
Post again SOON~ I am anxious to hear what happened today!

Well its 4 pm and 8 hours after i took my first ever Phen pill. I was feeling great for the first 2 hours...energetic, but not crazy. I think around 4 hours after i took it, i did get a little shaky. I live in florida and its REALLY hot right now. Just getting out of the car and into a store, you already sweat...so i think that must have been what made he shaky. Once i was home I was fine. I have been drinking lots of water like i've been told.
I defiantly can tell a difference in my appetite. I also dont constatly think"what can i eat now"
When i do eat its only a few bites and i'm perfectly content stopping. Before I would jsut eat and eat and never really get full.

So over all i like it=0)

Thanks everyone for the support and i'm excited to get this weight off. I weighed in at my home scale today at 208. At the end of the week i'lll be going back to my doctor jsut to weigh in and i'll let you guys know. My scale and the doctors scale is about 2-3 lbs less(his is less).

I had a question about the journals...am i doing it right? I noticed everyone journals are in bold and mines not.

Have a great night everyone!

Izzy

PS- does anyone know if i'm allowed to drink alcohol? On weekend i like to have a few light beers with my husband at night and sometimes out with the girls....is this still possible??- yes I know its all empty calories=0)

testing my signature...

Hi! I am glad you are okay with the dose you are on. What a boost to weigh LESS at the doctor's! Be sure and weigh at home at the same time every day. Most of us want every ounce gone, so we weigh naked, dry hair, after a visit to the restroom. first thing in the morning.:p
The bold and regular fonts mean something about whether you have read them or not~I am ashamed I haven't taken the time to find that out!:(

Your signature is showing up. I removed my weight one as I am going to weigh myself properly once my digital scale arrives and once I start the phen. (fingers crossed they will arrive tomorrow!)

It is important to drink plenty water, especially if it is really hot where you are, as water is fabtastic for flushing everything out your body.

It gives me encouragment for when I start the phen that you have noticed a difference so fast.

Take care
