I have have been taking phentermine for 4 days now and have lost about 3 lbs. My doctor said if I keep doing 1200 calorie diet and working out 5-6 times a week then I should lose 60 lbs in 4-5 months. To me that seems like a lot of weight to lose in only 4 or 5 months and seems almost impossible. I was just wondering what anyone elses experience has been?

I lost 40 lbs in 3 months on it last year. Then it stopped working so I took a few months off and now I'm on it again, lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks.

It's possible. But that doesn't account for something like a plateau. If you've dieted before you know what I mean.
I used phentermine and had great success with it. The weight has slowly creeped back on. I take regular daily med regime that slows my metabolism and boosts my appetite. Ugh!
But I will use it again and have used it several times over the last 12yrs to loose weight. It is safe and not terribly expensive.
I wish you all the best

The problem with losing that much weight that fast is that it is unlikely you will keep it off. Your body will rebound, and build a stronger tolerance to the effects of the drugs. Losing weight and keeping it off, is a mind and body process not just a magic pill.
Here are a few free tips on losing weight that really work. Starting with your behavior, you need to start thinking thin and realizing that weight loss begins in your mind. Keep a positive attitude, set realistic weight loss goals, keep a food journal and begin an exercise routine you can live with.
To lose weight you have to cut your calorie intake by 500 calories a day. A little secret weight loss tip is you don't have to cut them all from your food. If you eat 250 calories less food you can burn the other 250 calories by walking for 30 to 45 minutes a day. In a week, you will have lost about 1 pound. Over time, these small changes will add up to a healthier, happier and lighter you.
Below are some of the best healthy weight loss tips to keep you moving toward your weight loss goals:
· Eat breakfast every day. Eat whole grains with at least 2 grams of fiber.
· Eat some dairy like yogurt or milk, it can help rev up your metabolism.
· Drink water and keep hydrated, add a twist of lime to zest up the flavor.
· Be aware of white foods, choose fruits and vegetables with bright colors.
· Be cautious about bread, choose high fiber, whole grain loaves.
· Have an apple before dinner, it fills you up and provides lots of fiber.
· Keep moving, dance around the house while making the bed and doing chores.
· Brush your teeth after meals or have a breath mint, it helps to stop the urge to eat.
Losing weight is not something that happens overnight just like gaining weight is not an overnight occurrence. Developing the right mind set and determination to achieving your weight loss goal along with a few sensible behavior changes will send you well on your way to achieving success.
Understand how your thoughts, life experiences and attitudes about food and exercise influence your mind into making lasting lifestyle changes for long term success. I hope these free tips on losing weight will start you on your way.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

People who plan their weekly meals tend to be more successful at losing weight than those who don’t. Plan your dishes to feature healthy carbs such as special potato and wholegrain pasta, greens and lean proteins, buy all the ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to nibble on out or order in.
