I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOME TESTIMONIES IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THIS PRESCRIPTION DRUG. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR STARTING WEIGHT - YOUR GOAL WEIGHT-HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU LOST TO DATE- AND WHAT OTHER THINGS YOU MAY HAVE OR MAY NOT HAVE DONE WHILE ON THIS WONDER DRUG.

I STARTED TAKING THIS PILL 3 DAYS AGO AND I ALREADY LOST 5 LBS! IT HAS CURBED MY APPETITE DRASTICALLY! I AM ONLY ABLE TO EAT ABOUT 7-9 BITES PER MEAL NO MATTER WHAT I AM EATING. AND I HAVE BEEN EATING SALADS AND CEREAL WHEN I GET HUNGRY....DOING SOME WALKING AS WELL AND GOING TO BE STARTING YOGA THIS WEEKEND AND BIKE RIDING SO THAT I CAN GET TONED- I WANT TO PREVENT LOSE SKIN IF POSSIBLE...AND I AM DRINKING LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER AND ENDING MY NIGHT WITH A GLASS OF GATORADE TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING DEHYDRATED BECAUSE I AM ALSO ON A WATER PILL FOR ANOTHER CONDITION I HAVE IN MY FEET AND ANKLES.

I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THIS PILL IS GOING TO DO FOR ME! I AM LOVING IT SO FAR! I MEAN WOW! I LOST 5 LBS IN 3 DAYS! THIS AFTERNOON I HAD WEIGHED MYSELF FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I HAD LOST 4 LBS SINCE THE DAY I BEGAN AND THEN AT ALMOST MIDNIGHT TONIGHT I WEIGHED IN AGAIN JUST TO SEE IF THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE AND I LOST ANOTHER POUND WITHIN LIKE 6 HOURS! AND I FEEL ON TOP OF THE WORLD. I FEEL GREAT AND I HAVE ENERGY NOW. THIS PILL IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER DIET PILL I HAVE TRIED IN THE PAST....THIS IS THE ONLY PILL I HAVE TRIED THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL THIS EARLY AND DOES NOT GIVE ME THE JITTERS. I HAVE READ SOME SUCCESSFUL TESTIMONIALS TONIGHT THAT INCLUDED PICTURES AND I AM JUST AMAZED AT THIS PILL.

IT IS BASICALLY LIKE SPEED AND HAS PHEN PHEN IN IT. AND WE ALL KNOW THE RISKS WITH THAT. BUT EVERYTHING HAS POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS AND I AM LOOKING AT IT IN A POSITIVE WAY- I AM IN GODS HANDS NO MATTER WHAT THE TURN OUT. I AM DOING THIS FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. AND I AM ABOUT TO RELOCATE FROM OHIO AND START A FASHION DESIGNING CAREER IN ATLANTA THIS FALL...I PLAN ON BEING IN THE PUBLIC EYE SO I WANT TO LOOK GOOD- THE MEDIA CAN BE A BITCH....ESPECIALLY THOSE DAMN TABLOIDS! LOL

I WILL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED ON MY STORY! AND PLEASE DONT WORRY I AM BEING CAREFUL AND I AM UNDER THE CARE OF A PHYSICIAN AND I AM KEEPING A VERY, VERY, WELL WORDED ,DETAILED DIET JOURNAL OF MY JOURNEY WHILE ON THIS PILL.

I WILL POST IN A FEW DAYS FROM NOW WITH A NEW WEIGHT LOSS TOTAL.

HERE IS THE LINK TO SOME PHENTRAMINE TESTIMONIES WITH BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES AND EACH PERSON TELLS THEIR OWN STORY....

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THE REASON I BEGAN THIS PILL WAS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH MY WEIGHT FOR 11 YEARS SINCE MY FIRST BORN AND SHE IS GOING TO BE 12 IN SEPTEMBER....AND I LOST 65 LBS ON MY OWN THE PAST 3 YEARS- AND GOT STUCK AT 191...THEN IN OCTOBER OF 2007 I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 4 DAYS AND DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER. THE MEDICATION (NAMED DEPAKOTE ER) THAT THE DOCTOR IS HAVING ME USE TO TREAT MY BIPOLAR DISORDER HAS MADE ME GAIN 27 LBS...AND I AM SCARED TO KEEP TAKING IT BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO GET TO BE BIG AS A HOUSE OR BED RIDDEN....BUT MY DOCTOR WONT TAKE ME OFF IT...SO I BEEN BEING REBELIOUS LOL TO HELL WITH THAT DEPAKOTE CRAP! IT SUCKS!

I HAVE BEEN ON THIS ADIPEX PILL NOW FOR 3 1/2 DAYS AND LOST 7 LBS SO FAR! I EVEN LOST A POUND WHILE I WAS SLEEPING!

AND I WOKE UP AT 8:30 AM- TOOK MY PILL AT 9 AM- AND WEIGHED IN AT 9:30 AND DURING THAT HOUR- I LOST A POUND JUST SITTING HERE!

NOW KEEP IN MIND I AM GOING TO BE ON THIS FOR 3 MONTHS- IF THIS KEEPS UP I WILL BE LOOKIN GREAT BY THE TIME WHEN MY 30TH BIRTHDAY PARTY IS WHICH IS OCTOBER 4TH....AND EVEN BY HALLOWEEN I WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO PICK OUT A CUTE SKINNY COSTUME!!! LOL

I START YOGA TODAY AND I FEEL GREAT! I AM NOT FATIGUED ALL THE TIME LIKE I USED TO BE! AND I AM WAKING UP EARLIER THAN I USED TO LOL ALOT EARLIER! LOL I USED TO BE UP ALL NIGHT UNTIL 6 A.M SOMETIMES EVEN 8 A.M....AND SLEEP TIL LIKE NOON...

NOW I AM GOING TO BED AT LIKE 2 A.M AT THE LASTEST AND WAKING UP AT 8:30 A.M...

AND JUST SO YOU PEOPLE KNOW LOL...THIS IS NOT SOME CORNY ADVERTISEMENT LIKE THEM INFO COMMERCIALS LOL...THIS IS A TRUE STORY AND I AM A REAL SINGSNAPPER! LOL AND THERE IS A PILL THAT IS VERY REAL AND IT IS THE BEST DIET PILL I HAVE EVER TAKEN!

Hi Candi...
I just wanted to tell you to watch your blood pressure carefully while on this drug... It can cause, headaches, chest pain and high blood pressure... Like all medications there is good with the bad....Phentermine alone can not make the weight melt away.... you have to eat right and exercise to see lasting results. Besides keeping Hydrated you need to keep a good supply of vitamins on board. When a person is losing weight they will lose a lot right away until they get the water weight and bloat off... Then it gets tougher to lose. Remember that even tho the scales may stop moving on you and they most likely will as it is not healthy to loose weight that fast continously....That you will still be able to loose inches while the scale says no weight loss... I have come to like the idea of inches verses lbs... Also remember that when exercising another thing that may slow you down is when Fat is turned into solid instead of broke down and gotten rid of... Phentermine is an appetite suppressant...and does not actually make the weight loss... you do by not eating....
I speak of this with the knowledge of being a past user of the drug and being a retired RN.. I have also fought my weight all my life.. In short there is no miracle drug to lose weight.. It is really a change in eating habits whether you do it yourself or the Phentermine helps... Your body will also get use to the drug and require more to work for you... Please be careful with this drug... If you have anymore questions or want to talk more about this please feel freee to email me thru SS... A fellow SingSnapper... Julieanne aka Sunkissedcutie

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY JULIEANNE. I APPRECIATE THE FEED BACK.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN TOTALLY. AND THANK YOU FOR CARING.

I THOUGHT I HAD MENTIONED IT BUT I GUESS I DIDN'T ...BUT I DEFINATELY HAVE BEEN WATCHING MY B/P AND PULSE RATE. I AM A MEDICAL ASSISTANT SO THANK GOD I LEARNED HOW TO DO VITAL SIGNS LOL...
SO FAR I AM OK. IT DOES PUMP YOUR HEART BUT THAT IS WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO- TO PUMP YOUR HEART AS IF YOU HAD BEEN EXERCISING....THATS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE AND THEN YA SWEAT IT OUT TOO...ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR EXERCISING...BUT REGARDLESS THATS WHY I AM DRINKING LOTS OF WATER AND DRINKING A GLASS OF GATORADE EVERY NIGHT. AND I AM LOVING THAT THIS PILL DOES NOT MAKE YOU JITTERY.

I AM BEING VERY CAUTIOUS. I KNOW THIS IS RISKY. BUT I WAS AWARE OF ALL THE RISKS BEFORE I STARTED TAKING IT. I DID ALOT OF RESEARCH. I AM EVEN AWARE HOW THIS DRUG CAN POSSIBLY MAKE ME FEEL WHEN I AM THROUGH WITH IT. BUT I WITNESSED MY FRIEND LOSE 44 LBS IN 3 MONTHS AND SHE IS OFF IT NOW AND IS STILL DOING GREAT ....SHE STILL HAS SOME MORE TO LOSE AND SHE WILL BE BACK ON IT IN JANUARY. HER HEALTH IS GREAT AND SHE STILL EATS WELL TOO. SHE IS AN INSPIRATION. AND SHE IS SO HAPPY AND LOOKING AND FEELING GREAT...AND I PLAN ON DOING THE SAME. I PLAN ON CONTINUING THE HARD WORK WHAT EVER IT MAY BE. I WILL NEVER LET MYSELF GET THE WAY I WAS EVER AGAIN. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL BE HUNGRY WHEN I GET OFF THIS AND SO I WILL STILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT I EAT RIGHT AND EXERCISE BUT I AM OK WITH THAT. I BEEN EATING RIGHT SINCE DAY ONE WHEN I STARTED TAKING THIS PILL. AND EXERCISING TOO. I'M DOING TAEBO AND I LOVE IT. AND I WILL EVEN BE HAVING SOMEONE ELSE DO MY GROCERY SHOPPING FOR ME IF I MUST BECAUSE IF I DONT BUY THE JUNK THEN IT WONT BE IN THE HOUSE TO EAT. THAT IS MY THEORY. AND I EVEN QUIT DRINKING POP. AND I AM AWAKE EARLIER IN THE MORNING THAN I USED TO BE---SOMETIMES I WOULD SLEEP UNTIL 10 -11 A.M OR 12 P.M DEPENDING HOW FATIGUED I WAS...THIS PILL IS JUST A BOOST TO HELP ME FOR RIGHT NOW. I REALIZE I HAVE WORK TO DO AS WELL. AND THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING....WITH CARE....AND WITH A DETAILED JOURNAL WITH EVERYTHING I DO THROUGH OUT THE DAY EACH AND EVERY DAY AND I RECORD EVERYTHING- FROM THE TIME I WAKE UP -TO EATING- TO GOING SOMEWHERE- TO WHAT TIME I AM EATING- WHAT I DRINK- HOW MUCH I DRINK- TO WHO MY DOCTORS ARE AND WHAT MEDS I AM ON AND WHEN I TAKE THEM- TO MY BED TIME AND HOW I FELT EACH DAY- AND IT EVEN HAS MY FAMILY'S HEALTH HISTORY IN IT...SO FAR SO GOOD AND I CAN NOT COMPLAIN. I HAVE LOST 9 LBS SO FAR ON 5 1/2 DAYS ON THIS INTENSE DIET PROGRAM. I PROMISE I WILL BE CAREFULL AT ALL TIMES. AND I AM SEEING THE DOCTOR WHO PRESCRIBED THIS FOR ME ONCE A MONTH SO HE CAN MONITOR MY HEART AND B/P AND HEART RATE TO SEE HOW IT IS GOING.

I APPRECIATE ALL CONCERNS. AND AM GREATFUL FOR ALL FEED BACK.

JUST KNOW I AM FULLY AWARE OF EVERYTHING -THE GOOD AND THE BAD- AND I AM KEEPING TRACK OF HOW I AM DOING AND HOW I AM DOING IT AND THE RESULTS OF EACH AND EVERY DAY. WHATEVER THEY MAY BE. THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE PRETTY, THE UGLY.

PRAYERS NEVER HURT NOBODY- SO SEND THEM MY WAY IF YOU FEEL MOVED TO DO SO. MUCH LOVE.

*hugs*

First of all, I wish you the best of luck. I also took adipex and I did lose some weight. I had to stop it because I was a diabetic and I have to eat like 5 to 6 small meals a day. What I'm concerned with for you right now is
1.) you are weighing yourself way too much. It is almost compulsive. If you continue doing that, when the time comes and you reach a plateau and you don't see any weight loss you will become very disappointed.
2.) You said you have someone else doing your shopping, part of what you call dieting... should be referred to as life change. Part of that is learning to control your eating habit and staying away from the bad stuff. Therefore you need to be doing your own shopping. Also you doctor should also have advised you that it is ok to eat a treat every once is while. (pick a date for your treat) It will be something you look forward too. Now don't go over doing it like eating a whole cake lol..

After I stopped taking this pill, at first I didn't have any energy. But I learned to eat better with breakfast being the most important part of the day, because that is what gets you going.

Good Luck, becareful

Cheekylilvixen gone to pick-up kids. i am broke,can i borrow$2400 in monoply $$?

I took phentermind back in 1997, right after the phen-phen incident happened. I lost 20lbs in a month but the 1st 10lbs was all water weight. Not trying to discourage you, just letting you know so you don't get dissapointed if you gain a pound or two the following month. If you do gain weight, it will be muscle weight. The more muscle you build the faster you burn fat. So make sure you keep excercising. Like I said, muscle will show up as weight gain but it is a good weight gain. So, don't be discouraged.

I could not afford to keep taking it cus it was costing me $75 a month.

Good luck and heed the advise these ladies have given you.

thanks for the advice ladies. (and hey there cheeky dahling! how are ya? miss ya! **HUGS**)

just to be clear i was only weighing myself the way i was for the first week (as of tomorrow - i will have 2 weeks on this under my belt)...but yeah the first week on it i was just excited and giggling at watching my weight everytime i stepped on the scale lol...it was amusing to me...but anyways i am aware i may get stuck at a stand still....and i am doing my own shopping lol...i only said i would have someone else do it if i had to lol like if i was desperate- but hey! i did great shopping the other day for myself! so yay!!! and as far as the treat goes- i do allow myself something small and sweet - and its usually a hard piece of candy or just a bite or two of whatever i am craving but really i havent had any cravings and i dont desire any junk what so ever. not even fast food or pop or kool-aid. my eating habits have changed for the healthier and for the better and i plan on keeping it that way.

so far my weight loss is 12 1/2 lbs! wooohooooo!!! i go back next thursday for a check up at the doc's.

I took phentermine quite a few years ago...lost 70# in 3 months...it was great while I was on it, but 3 months wasn't enough time to make the lifestyle changes people speak of...good luck to you, and am waiting for better finances, so I can try again...

what shocked me was the fact that I was taking 'legal speed', and that my 8 year old daughter was on the same EXACT medication for ADHD, only mine were 35mg and hers were 20mg!...that just didn't seem right!...;o)...

again, good luck!...;o)...
