My doctor just put me on Phentermine, what do you think of this?

IIene,
No, they removed the bad fen out of the drug and this is what is left.
This is not the drug that caused the heart problems. The only real
fear, I believe, from taking this is the fact that it can be addictive.
But, I am not on a high enough dosage. I mean, I don't feel anything
when I take it. It gives me no symptoms at all. They only thing the
pill does for me is curb my appetite so that I can eat at regular times
and regular amounts of food. I don't feel "high" on it at all.

Wow, that is great! I will definitely look for that book and read it,
thank you for the recommendation!

What do you think of this book, Beverly? I just went to ebay and found
a copy of it and bid on it. So, I will get one soon and check it out.
I would love to hear what people that have lost weight and kept it off
did to maintain the weight. I don't need to "learn" how to lose
weight, I know how to do that as I have done it dozens of times...... I
just haven't figured out the "keeping it off" thing yet Sounds like
a great book! I can't wait to read it!

I've only read the first few chapters and I've found it very helpful.
We've discussed the first chapters in the group and found many of us
agree with the author on what it takes to keep the weight off. I've
been at or near my goal weight for several years and was pleased to
read that the things I've done are very similar to what is described in
the book.
You really should read it. It has very good tips on losing and
maintaining a weight loss.

wsheryy, I have Thin For Life and I LOVE IT. As for me, I've lost a ton
(over 100 lbs) and that was over 20 years ago. I saved those huge pants
(size 42 waist) and i gained about two sizes back since. (about 27lbs)
I'm now one size away from the 12s and I saved the pictures from eah
step of my WOE/WOL life is BETTER!
I tried MANY times to lose!!! If you don't TRY than you can't know if
this IS that time for you!!! This group is very great!! I bounce all
kinds of STUFF off of them here and I love MOST of them here. I find
that I FEEL BETTER after I come here while down into those pits of the
blues!! I WILL watch for you here and you are just so cool You WANT
THIS!! to work!! IT WILL WORK!! Keep at it wsherry!!! I went through the
depression and the hospital and the garbage!!! It helps to come here!!!
DO NOT GIVE UP!!!

We should get back to discussing this book. I haven't finished it yet but
I
have managed to read another couple chapters.

I agree. Where should we start? All we did was the first two chapters and
I guess they can be googled for those who want to play catch-up.

I checked the book out from the library and while its style was a bit
annoying to me there was very good information. Here are the links to
previous chapter discussions:

I meant that I gained back about 17 pounds! NOT 27 This was from the
over 100 which I lost and it FOUND ME AGAIN PART OF IT ! I've NEVER
needed to shop in the big ladies store since I lost the POUNDS! About 20
years ago.
