Weight-Loss Story:
Amy Redding

Age 39, from Taber, Alberta

I actually never had a problem with my weight until I was in college. When
I was in high school I was this skinny little thing. People made comments
about how tiny I was, and I didn't mind. I liked being thin. I think I
weighed under 115 pounds, all the way through high school. Wow, I still
can't believe I was that small.

When I was in college though, I noticed things starting to change. I made
the freshman 15, and then some! I wasn't gaining huge amounts of weight or
anything, but I was getting bigger. I noticed I had to change my eating
habits a little to keep myself from gaining more weight. It helped a
little, but I still didn't exercise much and I was still gaining weight.

I met my husband in college, and he's always been a great help and support.
But when I had my first child, all my weight-loss plans went right out the
window! I gained a lot of weight through my pregnancy, and I couldn't get
rid of it afterwards. I mean, who has time? I was trying to take care of a
baby, I didn't have the time or energy to work on myself. My kids are now
10 and 12, and I have a little more time to myself. So I decided a while
back to finally do something for me.

I'd heard a lot about Phentermine diet pills from friends - some who used
it, and some who know people that used it. I didn't think I'd do something
like that, but it looked like everyone that was using it was experiencing at
least some kind of success. I mean, it's not a magical pill that makes you
thin, I've never believed in shortcuts to success - but it looked like it
could be that little bit of help I needed to make the most of my time and
energy in dieting and exercise. I still had to do a lot of things with my
kids, so I really needed to have a plan for using my time wisely.

Eating right wasn't easy... but I could do it. I always made sure my kids
ate well, but I sometimes wasn't as good with my own diet. I just had to
make sure I got the right things, in the right quantities. I talked to my
doctor about what kinds of foods I should eat and in what quantities in
order to get the right nutrition without gaining more weight (that would be
the last thing I needed). In the beginning I was having problems, I just
didn't feel satisfied by the food. But a short while after beginning the
Phentermine pill regimen, I noticed my appetite going way down and it kicked
me right into gear. I was excited about trying to lose weight! I also
talked to friends who knew a lot of good recipes for the kinds of foods I
was eating, and that was really helpful, because all of a sudden I was
looking forward to meals because I had a chance to put something interesting
together that tasted pretty good and filled me up.

The real challenge was exercise. I've suffered from fatigue for a long
time, I think it may have begun around the same time that I had children. I
just couldn't get myself out of the house. So, I came up with the idea of
getting my children to actually help me out. I got them to make me play
with them outside, and most importantly I got them to make sure I did my
exercises. It really is hard to say no to them! The boys have helped me
lose over 45 pounds in just 5 months. I am really hopeful about where I'm
going with my diet and exercise, I'm well on my way to reaching my goal
weight already. Thank you Phentermine.
