Two years ago I weighed 296#. Through a little diet change I lost 16# to make me 280# in about 5months (Dec 04-Mar 05). When my ex left I lost 20# the first month and 10# the next month to make me 250#. When the stress settled down I gained 7# back (257#). I have been working on me for the last 60 days. Watching what I eat and walking up to 4 miles a day. My Dr. also gave me a script for Phentermine. I am so excited! For the first time in 11years I weigh less than 230#. I weigh 227#. Making my total weight loss 69#. Whoopie! This is my last month of Phentermine and I hope the good habits I have learned in the 3 months I will have taken it last. It would truely be exciting for me to weigh less than 200# by Christmas. Just had to share.
Hugs, Brenda

Brenda,

I just wanted to chime in with my congratulations. I struggle with my weight as well and can imagine how good it feels to be where you are.
