New mom new to Phen

[newmom]

Hey everyone! I just found this website and got very motivated. I have an 11 week old daughter :heart: and I had gained a good bit of weight before I got pregnant. Once I got pregnant, I gained another 30lbs. I've lost it all but 5 pounds, but as I said, I already gained too much weight before my pregnancy. My doctor prescribed Phen to help me lose some of the weight. I need to lose about 40lbs. to be back at my ideal weight. I didn't know anything about Phen so I searched the web and found this. What great support!! :D I especially loved the success stories. I didn't realize water was such an important part of this. I always drank a gallon of water a day while pregnant but have slacked off since. I'll be sure to start back. I also had concerns about keeping the weight off after stopping Phen. I guess as long as you change your lifestyle, you will continue to lose. I started Phen Tues. and can already tell I have more energy and less of an appetite (much less!!!). I don't own a scale and now I'm wondering if I should get one. I'm just afraid I'll become too obsessed with weighing myself and potentially get frustrated. :mad: How often do any of you weigh? My starting weight is 178 and my goal weight is 135. I hope to be there by my sister's wedding in August.

Hello newmom and welcome. I have only been on phen for 4 days so i don't know if i can help you much i've already lost 5 pounds just this week. I drink lots of water and a low fat diet the no carb diet isn't for me...I could never give up my sugars or bread and grains.lol so i didn't feel the need to start a diet i was not going to stick with. I said I was going to weigh only once a week but, of course i couldn't do that the scale was here and i just had to get on there and see how much i lost. I hear it is alot better if you only weigh once a week so you don't get so discouraged if one day you don't lose anything. I am like you around 170 now, was 174 before starting phen and my goal weight is 135-140ish. Also measure inches you don't always lose alot of weight but you may be loosing more inches. Hope this helps you but, i'm also new so keep that in mind....lol Have a good day.
