Just started taking phentermine about a week ago (haven't lost anything yet) but have a long history of weight issues. Used to weigh 274 doing Atkins Diet got down to 176 over a two year period-just exercise and changing eating habits.I thought I'd found what worked for me til December of 2001 started gaining lbs even though I stuck with the program.Finally found out end of June 2002 my thyroid had gone wacky-sluggish thyroid causes other problems I didn't know about (depression,irritability,extreme fatigue-now I understand what was going on-I thought I was losing my mind).I'm now back up to 208 (very depressing).I take a little pill every morning & my thryroid is back in a normal range but I still can't get lbs off.I haven't exercised as much as I should (need to fix that) but I started taking phen to help give me a boost. My fiance is supportive and tries to understand-says I still love you & desire you but he doesn't understand that it's about me-I have to love me, it's how I feel and see myself.
I'm happy :) to have found this site and to have other people that understand and have gone or are going through this. Support is very important.
