Anyone else using Phentermine and B12? I would love to hear how other people have done on these meds.
Good Luck to everyone trying...I want to hear your story!

I have always been really skeptical about weight loss doctors (call it silly on my part) but after working out the whole summer and being a dance teacher I would think I would have lost SO MUCH WEIGHT! Well It seemed as though I was gaining weight... #Sigh I went to one of my alma matter events at the University and I ran into one of my old buddies, she looked so pretty and way smaller from the last time I saw her, she filled me in on the secret and at first I was like, ummmm, I think I will just keep doing what i'm doing (but it wasn't working). A month later, I got fed up with my weight, the shortness of breath started to kick in, it felt like I had gas ALL the time in my chest and my BMI for my height placed me at Stage 2 Obesity (i'm 5'0 & 187 pds) Even though EVERYONE always say I'm small, I don't look big, I feel big! (I'm very busty & I have too much junk in my trunk) so this made me look smaller in other places. I started my B12 shot yesterday and the pills this morning, since I never have an appetite anyway, the doctor put me on the 15mg dosage to start and advised me to start eating every 3hrs Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and three snacks. After reading so many post here and on other sites, I'm SOOOO excited to see and feel my results!
My goal is to have my BMI back in the normal zone so I have to lose 60 pds for my height and weight to be in perfect union... Being short has it's curses!

Signed Excited!

hey i have been taking phen since oct 11 and i have lost a total of 11 pounds i started at 147 and im down to 136 with in a month u have to think the smaller u are the harder it will take to lose.. I have been doin p90x and eating lean meats and veggies and fruits for snacks my doc said if u stop eating it hurts ur body more and its harder for u to lose weight considering thats what ur body needs to get u going.. I would not stop eating all together it will hurt u and its not healthy.. U will lose it u just have to give ur body time and u also have to remember that muscle ways more than fat u might b losing it u just cant tell cuz ur toning it up i wouldnt weigh ur self every day or when u see a scale i weigh myself once everytwo weeks.. Another thing is to cut out hambuger meat all together...Just keep up the work and i promise u will c results soon..

Hello ladies!

I started Phentermine 37.5 mg and B-12 shots on November 19th, 2011. It's been 3 full days and I've lost 8 pounds. Definitely surprised me when I stepped on the scale this morning. I'm excited to weigh in after a month. I know not to expect such big results every day, but it is exciting.

I haven't experienced the dry mouth. But I do get light headed and sick to my tummy often. Especially after I eat (sick to my tummy).

Sometimes I break my pill in half and take half in the morning around 9am, and the other half around noon. Seems to curb my late night hunger better that way. I did experience an intense headache after I woke up from the first day on Phen. But I upped my water intake to 5-7 glasses daily and haven't had a headache since!

I've been eating a lot of fruits, veggies, salads, and lean meats like chicken and fish. My doctor and nutrionist told me the more protein I consumed (180 grams a day) the better the Phen would work for me. I also drink these high protein teas (15 grams per drink) they sell there, they are actually pretty good, lol!

I usually walk every day briskly for about 20-30 mins around my block. Seems to be working for me.

Hope this helps some of you out there struggling. Don't give up!!!


(I'm 5'7, my body type is bigger on top, smaller on bottom. Big boobies and tummy, small legs and butt, lol!)
