How great! I'm glad you finally got a doctor to help you.
I started off with 30mg and found that it was awesome, but I'd get really distractible. 40mg ended up being perfect for me.

Hello everyone,
I went to the dr today, she put me on Vynasse for my binge eating, I start tomorrow morning with it. I'm kind of nervous about taking it.

Have a good week
Hey Gwen,
Glad the stress is easing up for you. That's great you saw success on the scale this week!
I've had a stressful few weeks too... which all culminated into a breakup on Friday. I can't believe I am not eating my emotions, as I would have done in the past. I had been for a few weeks... just not doing "great" with eating. I think now that I have a resolution, even though I am really really sad, I feel much more in control... and with my new stomach, I don't have the same need to eat.
Whatever it is, I'll take it cause it's not my official weigh in day, but I've dropped down below 90 lbs lost which I've been trying to do for weeks! And had a big loss... so I'm posting today, and who knows, maybe again in Wednesday. Haha
HW: 308
LW: 219.5
TW: 216
Next goal: 100 lbs lost! I can't believe that's now in sight. :)

I don't think I ever updated last week, oops! I hope you all are doing well and had good weeks. It was the last week of a challenging term for me and I definitely let myself go off the rails. It's bad when I choose not to take my Vyvanse because I know I'll binge regardless. I need to talk with my team about this and try to figure out how to combat it for the future.
HW: 319
LW: 155.9
TW: 157.2 (I had gotten to 159.9 midweek, so I was happy to see this number on the scale this morning.)
Next goal: still 145 - BMI normal.

Hello I'm brandy. My bmi is 48 and i just started taking phentermine today. 37.5 mg once a day. I took it 12 years ago so i know it works. Just another option.
Hi all,
It looks like another tough week for people. Thanks for getting us started, Gwen, even though you couldn't weigh in.
I've had a couple of tough weeks - emotional and back on antibiotics, which also plays with my weight. I am hoping to have that back on track soon.
I've been up all week, but somehow, was down today. I'll take it! My 6 month surgiversary is tomorrow, and I was really hoping to hit 90 lbs lost by then - I am 1.5 lbs away now - so close, I may just "say" 90 lbs lost when people ask - it's a short month, I'll see how I do in an extra day or two. LOL. I'd love the scale to show it. I'll see what happens in the am. (HAHA, oh the justification! I really wanted my goal!!)
HW: 308
LW: 222.5
TW: 219.5
Goal: Still going for the 90 lbs lost! Stay tuned :)

I can't weigh myself this morning, since I'm not at home, but I wanted to get us started for the week! I can't believe the end of this week is March already. I'll update my weight when I'm back home tomorrow morning. (Even though I'm sure it'll be up!)
HW: 319
LW: 154.3
TW: will update tomorrow
Next goal, since I assume I haven't lost 9 pounds in the last week: BMI NORMAL! 145.
How's it going for all of you, weekly weighers?

Hi all,
Welcome back from Vegas IF.
I'm just back from Orlando last night. I had a great vacation and thought I ate quite well. I walked a lot! But the scale showed a 2 lb gain. I was glad to read what you said Gwen, that you find it's sodium and water retention more than actual weight. I'll see what happens next week! I don't usually eat out... and eating out every meal was a huge change for me.
HW: 308
LW: 220.5
TW: 222.5
Goal: Still to hit 90 lbs lost by 6 months, which isn't looking as likely as it once was. Lol
