|  Holy Mollie!
To start allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lisa. I am 25years of age with a son who is 2years old as of the 6th of this month. I got married in May on the 5th to my highschool sweetheart. He is the best daddy I could ask for for my son even though he's not his biological father. Ok so I am here because I figured I should just shout to the world my weight since my husband doesn't even know how much I weigh,  ... lol. I am 5'7" tall with a medium body frame. On July 17 I went to my Dr. and told him that I was tired of being obese and hated that I couldn't play with my son for more than a few minutes without feeling completely exhausted. I want to be around for him throughout his life as long as I can. So they checked me out and did bloodwork on me to see if part of it was due to my thyroid. Turns out it's not, I just have a borderline overactive thyroid with an extremely slow metabolism. Dr. gave me Adipex (phentermine) to boost my metabolism and supress my appetite to help me out with diet and exercise since that alone did nothing for me. Well I started out on July 18th and weighed 267lbs. I now after nearly 3months of help from the doctor along with diet and exercise have lost 34lbs. I am down to 233lbs and dropped 2 pants sizes and went from a BMI of 41.8 to 36.5 and from a level 3 obesity to level 2!! I feel amazing at this point and am just looking for that little extra push to help me out when I'm feeling down. Ok that's way more than I wanted to type out but oh well! Oh and if you want to see pictures of my son his website is... babiesonline.com/babies/l/littlejjd

Welcome to the site Lisa!
Congradulations on your weigh loss already! This board is great for motivation, tips and support when you're feeling kinda blah.
I recently started a journal in the Blog section to try and get rid of the last of my pesky weight. I found that has really helped me focus on my weight loss, so maybe that's the push you're looking for? Depends how often you're on the computer too I guess. I'm on everyday for sure so I always get a chance to update it

That is great!!! Have you had any side effects with the Adipex? That's what I am scared of with all the new prescription weight loss meds.

Ya know I really haven't had any truly adverse affects other than what you're told about when I was first prescribed to take it. You need to eat w/in the first two hours of taking the medication first thing in the morning so that you don't feel lightheaded. The first day I took it I didn't get a chance to eat until about 3 hrs after I took it and I had stood up and got a lil lightheaded but I sat back down and was fine. The only other adverse affect was that for about two weeks I felt like I was wearing a ball cap on my head.?? lol  That eventually went away but I think it was just my body getting used to the medicine because it's meant to increase your metabolism and to also supress your appetite(which it does very well.) Other than those to minor things I haven't had any real adverse effects from it. I would definately speak with your doctor though about everything you take for medicines as well as how much and why it is that you are wanting to lose. Good luck!
