Started the program on 4/21 in Dallas. So far, doing pretty good. I think they only administer the shot once a month, plus the phentermine and thyroid pill prescriptions. Also provided Magnesum (spelling) to help with sweet cravings and Cronien (spelling again, sorry).  They did the EKG and I found the RN very helpful and encouraging. Very thoughtful staff.  I can tell the difference already. I appreciate everyone's comments as it gives me hope. I go back on May 19 I will check back in and post the results.

Hi, the doctor is a Dallas doctor. Number is 214-827-1060. I can't remember his name, but the place is called Physicians Weight something or other. Terrible not to remember. But they are on Mockingbird by White Rock. Hope this helps.

Question
Is there a side effect when you take a total of 8cc of lipoB versus 2cc in a month?


Thanks

I am so sorry that I have not been able to be here for the past ump some weeks like I used to be, I was still having trouble logging on and just so busy with work and being on a laptop all day long it made me not even want to look at a computer during my personal time. THE GREAT NEWS IS I DID IT GIRLS!!!! As of April 26th, 2008 I weigh 135lbs (And still do today on May 28th, 2008) I lost a total of 47lbs in 14 weeks. I feel absolutely fantastic and you can imagine how hot I look!!! I want to congradulate everyone else on the sucess they have had with this life-style-change. Now we just need to stick together and blog as much as possible to support the rest of us who are trying to reach their goals and also for the people that achieved theirs to help with the maintance, cause it's harder when you come off the shot and pills. I wanted to do 1-2 months of maintenance, but the 2 hour roundtrip drive every saturday was a killer for me. I have been doing sit-ups on my big ball for the past 4 weeks and lets just say my six pack is about 6 weeks away. My stomach is looking so good right now you almost can't even tell I've had two kids or that I used to weigh 182 lbs only 5 months ago. And guess what, I am even in a size 4 pants now!!! WOW!!! I went from a size 12/14 to a size 4 in under 5 months. And just like revins said it's not just the scale that matters, besides loosing the 47 lbs I have also lost a total of just over 50 inches in my neck, ribs, bust/chest, waist, mid-section, hips and thighs. I lost 9 inches alone in my waist, 14+ inches alone in my mid-section, 8 inches in my hips and 6 inches off each thigh!!! My % Lean Body Mass went from a 30.3 (in January) to a 22.5 today. Keep it up everyone and to those of you just getting started, well you could be me in no time at all sitting here posting your success story!!!

I am new to this forum but I recently started the weight loss program in PHiladelphia on July 9, 2008. My starting weight was 181 and I just weighed myself today and I am 175. I am taking the b12/b6 shot along with the phentermine. I haven't taken the water pills yet but I am doing good without them. I am working with Dr. Fisher in philadelphia. He has me on a strict diet of no starches, no fruit, no sugar, no alcohol :(. I must say that I have been doing pretty good though. The shot gives me alot of energy so I am up later and I work out more. For now I am walking 3 miles a day which is about 1 hour and I am also getting down on the floor for them mean crunches. My goal is to lose 30 pounds so once I reach that goal i will slowly get off of the pills and just get the shot to give me energy. I will go to Dr. Fisher every 2 weeks to do the weigh in. And when I go back I will be on a more less strict diet. I feel good about myself because the weight is coming off. I hope to see good results!!!!

Wish me luck

Does anyone know of a doctor in the St. Louis area for the B 12, phentermine, weight loss plan?

I'm new to this forum I happened to bump in here while I was doing research on Phentermine pills and read promissing results.

This is my 4 day being on the pill and the B12 injections and I feel energized.  I started on 176.5 pounds and as of yesterday (in 3 days) lost 4.5 pounds.  Yesterday I also got a Lipoden Injection (B12 with Lipotropics).  Not taking Water Pills.
Will I reach a point where I will stop loosing weight?

What happens when I reach my weight goal and how long do I need to continue taking the Phentermine and B12 after?

I have always had luck losing weight w/phentermine but since having kids I've had trouble. I am starting the B12 injections. Can anyone tell me how much and how many times a month you do the B12.

The water pills being mentioned...are they offered at your clinics?? What are they? I just started my weight loss journey today. I weighed in at 163..got my first b12 shot and the Phentermine capsules. I am hoping to reach a goal weight of 125. Any mealplans or suggestions that could be offered to me by anyone would greatly be appreciated!!

Just stick to no carbs or low carbs and it will drop off so easy. I really do like phentermine and the water pill. Just drink lots of water and work out.

by jkj7597, Sep 26, 2008 04:35PM
I started at on the end of March and I lost 20 lbs in 2 months.  I am 5'11" and started out at 188...now I'm down to 168.  I was getting the B-12 shots (every other week) and taking a water pill and phentermine daily.  The program was really easy, and I have kept all the weight off. While on the program, I went to the gym about 3 x's a week  and still do. I am no longer on the phentermine or water pill, but I still get shots about once or twice a month at the clinic.  It's important to keep your carbs low and eat lots of veggies and low fat protein-- the phentermine cuts your cravings and makes it easy to eat well.  The weight will melt right off.  Right now I eat more carbs and I still have not gained any of the weight back.

another place that offers help is

internetmedicalclinics.com

Now the initial visit is more but you do not HAVE to go every week like the site listed above. you can also buy the shots from them and take them at home if you do not want to go every time. I think it would get More expensive even though the initial visit is only 35$ but 12$ per week. at this place its 75$ (10$ off coupon on the site this month) and the visits you just run in and the nurse gives you the shot OR like stated before you can buy them and take them at home ( if you have the guts.. haha Im a scardy cat with needles)

ANYWHO - just throwing another option out there for people in Houston, there are other locations as well listed on the site :)

I will let ya'll know how it goes when I go on Saturday. :) I cant wait to start!!!!

I have been thinking about doing this kind of weight loss solution for a while. I finally decided to do it. I am 5-05/170lbs and it is the most I have ever weighed without being pregnant.  I am so uncomfortable but now really inspired by all the posts. My personal physician offers the program which includes the LipoDen and followups. I did not see anything in the program overview about the other things mentioned like phentermine or water bills. I will  find out more when I make my appointment tomorrow.

Wish me luck

Does anyone know a Dr. in or near Orange County, CA, that does the phen diet?

by Goal_135lbs, Jan 05, 2009 03:04PM
To: everyone
Ok, so I am back on the wagon.... I am currently about 177 lbs, but I want to be 135..... that is roughly about 40 lbs I want to lose by October... I will be 30 this year (yikes!!!) & I really want to be the same weight I was 10 years ago.  As we speak I am munching on my lunch... (cabbage & tomatoe soup).  I am hoping to do this diet thing the right way & change my eating habits.  I am a junk food -fast food- restaurant loving person.  I have a rough time sticking to a diet @ work since everyone else is not on a diet & are always going out for lunch.  I don't want to be rude & not go along, so I end up ordering food I shouldn't be.  So I resolve to keep away from the lunch buddies & make a few exceptions for special ocassions... my goal will be on my mind.... I also have a hard time @ home since my husband likes to cook & is also on the heavy side... The kids are picky too, which gets me in trouble when they want the fast foods too.  So I am going to work on their eating habits as well as mine.  

I'm going to be using a variety of different methods to lose some weight.  Exercise of course, & just try to keep the food simple & easy.

Wish me luck & hope to report some progress next Monday!!!

I just started on 1/7/09 and am down 8# already with B12 and Phen. I work very long hours and most days and so dont get lunch and with the phen haven't felt like stopping and eating. I felt dizzy and nauseated last night (got to eat!). I really don't like the spacey feeling I get with the Phen...but I have been told I can cut dose in half until I can tolerate better.Other than its 3:46 AM (insomnia anyone) I am doing ok.

I found a Phen Dr. in Anaheim Hills, CA. Done this diet before and worked great. If anyone needs the info it's M.D. Maximum Weight Loss Medical Center the cost is $60 for the first visit, including bloodwork, pills and shot, then $30 a week after that for pills and shot. 714-974-6900. Good Luck.

by expat_UK, Jan 24, 2009 11:19AM
Jan 24 and down 15# today. Now taking just phen once daily. I have no appetite and have to force myself to eat meals...i love this stuff. B/p is great and now off B/p meds. Insomnia has passed and so has the weird spacey feeling I got when I first started with the phen I cut the dose in half for about a week and then gradually increased to a full dose. I feel great!

Hello all,
I just signed up to this site today and am a bit curious as to how this b12-Phen things works. I began my Diet plan yesterday. My goal weight is 120lbs for my height of (5'3). I am currently at 160lbs. My Dr. Prescribed me water pills plus a few extra pills (folic acids) to take with breakfast, lunch and dinner; besides the b12 shot. He also gave me the option to begin taking the Phentermine now or on my next visit. He told me that it was an appetite suppressant and that if I was able to control my eating, that I wouldn't need it. As I am reading blogs, I am beginning to think that I may have made the wrong choice. Is the Phentermine what makes the weight go, or is it just an appetite suppressant like he said?

Hi guys,
     So I have been battling with my weight since probably 2001.  It started when I moved in with my boyfriend.  I was 135 lbs then, and rapidly put on weight within the first 6 months.  Since then I have steadily been gaining weight & have had 2 children.  My youngest will be 2 in May.  I haven't lost the babyweight and to my disbelief, I was tipping the scale @ 185.  On a good day I was 181.

Needless to say, my New Year's Resolution was to start losing weight & get serious about it.  I seem to always be on a diet, but never really lost any weight.  In 2004 my sister went to the Internet Clinic & bought the weight loss pills & water pills.  She didn't like the pills, actually they made her throwup. Lucky me- she handed over her remaining pills.  I took what was left & lost weight.  I want to say I lost about 15 lbs.  When I got pregnant I was about 155.  Well almost 2 years later & I was 185 beginning in Jan.  

I tried just going on a diet & exercise plan, but it didn't really work for me.  I was on it about a month & had only managed to lose 5 lbs.  So in February, right after Valentine's I decided to get back on the diet.  I managed to lose another 5 lbs.  This really was discouraging.  So I made the decision to try the weight loss pills again.  I went to the building & was in the lobby when a man dressed in scrubs approached me.  He asked if I was looking for the weight loss clinic.  I replied yes, embarrassed a little cause I was in the lobby, and he started to walk me down the hall.  He then began to tell me about another clinic in the same building that was "better" cause the Internet Clinic gives you a prescription for the pills & you still have to get the prescription filled.  The other clinic gave the pills the same day after 4 pm.  & it was a little cheaper too.  

I took his advice & went through the ritual of the exam & consultation with the doctor.  That was on Friday 03/06/09.  I didn't go back to pick up my pills until Tuesday 03/10/09 cause it's a bit far from where I live.  The doctor told me to only take 1/2 the tablet of both the weight pill & water pill.  I did that for about a week, but still found myself hungry & not going to the restroom any more than usual. But it did cut down my eating somewhat.

On 03/06/09 I weighed 176.  On 03/20/09 I weighed 171.  I lost 5 lbs but was unable to get below 170.  I decided to start taking the whole pill of both.  It still isn't as effective as the pills I got from my sister, but they do help curve my appetite.  Today I weighed myself & to my surprise I am now 168.  

It is hard for me to find time to exercise.  Like I said I have 2 kids & I work & go to school full time.  For the past 2 days I do about 5-10 minutes of basic exercise before I go to sleep & again when I wake up.  I do things like pushups, situps, stretching & jumping jacks.  Another change I made is eating a cup of instant oatmeal in the morning, along with a fruit as snack mid day.  Lunch is normally a frozen dinner.  I use to buy the Healthy Choice or Smart Ones, but I started buying the Banquet ones instead.  It's the same amount of food, just $2 cheaper.  I figure since I'm on a portion control lunch, it won't make that much of a difference.  Snack is normally a yogurt & dinner is whatever I cook, just portion controlled.

I am looking forward to losing more weight.  I already feel better in my clothes.  My goal is to not only reach 135, but do it by the time I turn 30 in October.

Lots of luck to everyone & happy blogging!!!

I am very interested in the b-12, phentermine diet.  Does anyone know of a doctor in Fort Worth Tx.?

by expat_UK, Apr 11, 2009 08:32PM
I started Jan 7 and I have lost 42 # . The secret is not really the phentermine but just eating less. The phentermine definitely curbs the appetite and frankly you don't want to eat much.I still have a longing for certain foods...I just love chocolate :) but I have learned to have just a small piece so I don't feel at all deprived.I feel good, I have lost at least 4 sizes and this just gives me the incentive to continue!

Hey guys, I'm new here. I would just like to start off by saying how wonderful this forum is, seeing all the supportive posts is just what u need to get started losing weight. I have never been skinny, I'm a 21 year old male, living in Arkansas. I stand 6"4 tall, and on my first weigh in on March 14th I weighed 328lbs. I went in today to get weighed and was nearly brought to tears when she said my weight was 307lbs. I couldn't beleive it, I dropped 21 pounds in 1 month!! Now I only wish I had taken pictures to start with. This program really works, and when I'm done I will post pictures if possible. My current goal is to be under 240lbs. Thx for everyone who posts
