Hello!
Im still around and still plugging away. I am still on the phen, but have decided to give it a break after labor day and go off for a month and see what happens. I have lost 28 lbs since may and am really pleased with my progress. I have started exercising as well, which was a real challenge for me! I do 3-4 days a week. Tomorrow I am meeting with a personal trainer and joining a gym to start getting serious and toning up. I have lost weight, but I am flabby so I want to work on that.
Still going to WW and following that plan. It is so realistic and doable as a way of life, not just a diet. Anway...enough rambling. Things are going well!!!

I will keep posting my progress.

are you hypoglycemic? i am. and i have noticed when i feel sick like that and my blood sugar drops i have been using secure meal replacement shakes from andrew lessman, and they balance my blood sugar. i have only had one blood sugar drop this week and i was a the bar doing some photos for a band, and i grabbed some orange juice and it helped. i rely on those shakes now so bad. they are 70 cals each.

Im still around....barely. Im on my 6th month on phen. It has definitely lost some (most) of its effectiveness. I have decided to take at least a week or two off. I will not start that until Im off for the weekend. I know I'll probably feel tired. I have lost 32 lbs since I began in May, but the weight is coming off so slow because I am not following my plan like I should. I need to buck up and stick with it. I am only 18 lbs away from my goal! I cant give up now. Glad to see so many still going strong!

Glad to see that you are sticking with it!!

I understand about it coming off slowly...I am down to my last 20 lbs or so and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere too soon!! lol!! It doesn't help that I am on the phen for 42 days and off for 30 per drs orders and during the 30 days off I don't usually lose anything at all. I am just going back on after being off and I like the fact that I can tell it is working better than it does toward the end of the 42 days.

Good luck!! And stick with it!! I am trying to get this last 20 off by Christmas, but I may not quite make that....but can't blame a girl for trying! lol!
