Hi ALL!
Well I haven't posted in a while!!! BUT I'm happy to report i've finally been able to get this weight loss thing started!! I've lost apprx. 13 lbs in the last 5 weeks .... I've had help, I've been using Phentermine.
It really is the jump start I needed! It really has helped me to control my appetite and my eating habits!! Before I started I HAD to have at least a candy bar a day...along with all kinds of other junk all day!! And then i was wondering why i haven't lost weight! LOL
NOW i really realize what JUNK i was eating! I still have an ocasional PIECE (not a whole bar) of chocolate or something sweet.... but I can STOP after 1 oe 2 M&m's- and be satisfied!! I eat way smaller portions and am FULL faster! I am going to continue for another 3 weeks with these pills-- I'm hoping to hit the 20 lb loss mark then!!
My question is about exercise!! I've just started adding in exercise this week-- my plan is to go every other day (we joined a fitness center)and what i have been doing is spending 20 minutes walking at a pretty good pace to keep my heat rate up--then 10 to 15 minutes on a bike-- IS THIS ENUFF?????
Eventually i want to add in other types of things--they have this cross trainer that looks ROUGH! LOL!
My hubby thinks that what i AM doing is not gonna do much!! But I say ya can't just hope on the cross trainer and go!!!!
Anyone else out there have any experiences with PHENTERMINE?????
Thanks!
Michelle

I think what you're doing now is a good start. Try to slowly add more exercise. Eventually, you'll want to be able to do 1 hour of moderate exercise per day. This may seem like a lot, but this is what most experts are recommending now. The traditional 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week recommendation is way too little.

Michelle: First of all; congrats on your progress. Sounds like you've made changes that you can live with. I think that the time you are starting with (exercising) is fine; just keep in mind that you will have to gradually increase it to keep seeing results. You are well on your way to reaching your goals and I wish you the best. Keep us updated, please!!!
