Weight-Loss Story:
Sharice Patterson

Age 45, from Flint, Michigan

I wanted to tell my story about weight loss success. Oh it feels great just
to be able to say that word... success. I attribute a large part of my
recent success to the Phen pills. Without them, I never would have been
able to control my cravings. But, I've lost 30 pounds in just six weeks! I
feel incredible. When I started taking Phentermine, I weighed 180 pounds,
now I weigh 150. That's more than half way towards my goal of 130. I can't
even wear my stretch pants anymore, they won't stay on. I don't even want
to wear those anymore though. I want to get a whole new wardrobe to show
off my new thin self. The best part was when my youngest son told me "Mommy
you're getting smaller." Oh I can't explain the joy I felt to hear that.
He didn't even know about my diet either, and he's too young to be lying to
mommy about her weight!

I don't want to give the wrong impression though. It's not as though this
is a magic pill that you take and it fixes everything. I've been working
very hard in addition to the pills in order to make the most of my weight
loss.

I started drinking a lot of water, like a lot! I now drink about 6 glasses
per day. The water actually really helped, because it made me feel like
there was something in my stomach at all times and it helped to make my
appetite even less than the Phentermine was making it. More importantly , I
cut down on all the junk food. I used to eat a lot of fast food meals,
because they're so good and so cheap. But now, I've trained myself to go
more for sandwiches now than all that greasy stuff, and that's helped. I
find sub sandwiches can be just as tasty and satisfying as the burgers. The
other thing I've been doing is exercising. I don't like exercising outside,
because I'm very self-conscious about it. I've walked by little kids before
and have them say things about my weight. It's really embarrassing and
makes me want to give it all up. So, what I do is work out in my living
room while watching my favourite TV shows. I do a lot of step machine
exercise, and a lot of simple calisthenics that I can just do on a floor mat
or whatever. You can read about exercises you can do just about anywhere,
and you can ask fitness experts, your options are open. It's not an easy
road, but I'm doing really great so far. Plus I think that with all the
habits I'm building now, that I'll be able to keep the weight off after I
reach my goal weight. Some day soon I'll be able to comfortably exercise in
public. When that day comes, I will know that I'm on my way.
