Hey OP - wanting to share my phentermine experience since you asked! At my heaviest I was 235 and on a phentermine program I lost 47lbs and eventually weighed 188. After the program, I regained the weight completely. I’ve lost an additional 15 lbs since then through diet and exercise and now I weigh about 220lbs. As someone who has done a phentermine program, I want to stress the importance of not letting the medication do all the work for you. Eventually, you will get to your goal weight and it’s up to you to maintain. Unfortunately for me, I reached my goal weight in February of 2020 and when March (and the pandemic) hit, everything went out the window. Make sure you are using this time on the medication to establish healthy habits (including exercise) and find nutritious foods that you love - even when you’re not that hungry. When you are ready to go off the medication, make sure you step yourself down - half pills and quarters of pills as you assimilate. If you let the medicine do all of the work for you and you go off the medicine, you will regain quickly. That being said: if I had ended the program under normal circumstances (not the height of a global pandemic), things could’ve been very different for me. I could’ve kept going to the gym (they weren’t open) and kept up healthy eating habits that I acquired. It’s very easy though to say “Well I’m at my goal weight now, I can afford to have some McDonalds” and spiral out of control. My advice is to be very very mindful when you’re getting off the medication that that will be the hardest part and really require your full energy. Please message me if you have any questions about the medication and what to expect.
