| You gain back the weight once you stop taking it though... Good for you for losing the weight. ↑ |

goodness--lost 10 pounds in 3 days! (june 2nd and 5th)....congrats for you!
I've never heard of phentermine either---I know with any "mircle diet" pill or whatever you usually gain it back---but it might be worth trying just to kick my butt into gear; I've been having a hell of a time trying to get motivated to loose weight.... :( ↑ |

| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 10:09 AM |
| yea i herd but it kinda takes alot of hard work when you get off of it and i think i can keep it off. after i had my son i weighed 200 and within 3 months i was back at 135 but it took alot of hard work. i didnt work so i would be with braylan all day and when my parents got home i would go to the track from 5:30pm till 9:30pm. i walked 5 days a week for 1 month and a couple of months later i was still at 135lbs. i mean i didnt do it all on my own i started on exenedrine and i only used it for 1 month. when i am done with phentermine it will take hard work not to go back to my old eating habits but i can not stand seeing all my nice cloths just sitting in my closet and in half of xyleas closet (alot still with tags) just hanging there. if i can not prove to myself i want to keep the weight off after i am done with the phentermine i am giving all my cloths away. that was my deal with myself. so in a couple of months if i dont keep it off anyone that wants alot of old navy and dillards cloths just let me know. ↑ |

double k - this pill makes you hype and it gets your ass moving....the first time i took it i was at work and i got all my work for that week done in 2 days. i take it at 8am.
whittni - the dr prescribed it to me.... ↑ |
| Name: Whittni | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 10:19 AM |
oh dang. so you cant like get it in the diet section.....
i was 186ish and im 150 now after 6 weeks. would the doc even prescribe it to me? what would i ask her LOL ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 10:23 AM |
| just ask her about diet pills over the counter and which one is good and then she will tell you that they are all crap and say well my friend is on phentermine and its working for her i was wondering if i could try it. she will go by your weight and how many to prescribe. my dr only gives me 15 per rx and i only get 3 refills by 11/19/2007. i dont know how much it cost because my insurance picks up a precentage and i only payed $10.00 for 15 pills. just ask her because thats how i asked my dr. ↑ |
| Name: Whittni | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 10:27 AM |
| and you take one every day at 8 am? ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 10:39 AM |
| i take it everyday at 8 am because he said if i take it after 12pm i would have troubles sleeping. i skipped one day when dino locked his keys in his work truck with my birthcontrol but even without taking it i felt fine and ate good. ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 11:53 AM |
| i was 210, and now im 175. 6 weeks. 30 more lbs to go, i dont plan on doing the diet pill things like that though, just bad habits ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:04 PM |
| coartney thats great, but see you get to go out and line dance with your friends while your child is at home with your mother and your husband is out of state. i stay home with my children and decide not to go to the bars or clubs to dance my unwanted belly away. i have a family and i have responsibilities more at home than line dancing with friends at a club therefor its harder for me to loose unwanted belly fat taking care of my children and in bed by 9pm everynight. ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:06 PM |
| oh yes, i go linedancing everyday.. i went the other day and was there for nearly 20 mins, and danced ONCE.. so think again. i sit home all day with braden, then go to work at 6pm, til 1am, and dont sleep, i dont get a chance to eat. so actually, mommy isnt watching him, and what the hell does scott being out of the damn country have to do with my weight loss? ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:08 PM |
| i think scott being there would help with weight los if you know what i mean...hehehe..*wink* ↑ |
| Name: Whittni | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:09 PM |
| doc said they wont even prescribe it because it cause heart problems and it can lead to death! ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:09 PM |
| i seriously would love to punch youin the face. i simply stated i dont like diet pills, they're addictive, and you say im not responsible b.c i went once for 20 mins to a bar, which btw, i dont drink while im out, and if i drink at home its half a beer. you have help from your husband, I DONT. and yes while my mother is here, she works 7am-5pm everyday, and watches him while im out working. dont ever compare your life to mine, you have NO idea what the hell my life is like, and you never will. so you can take those responsibilities you have, and you think i dont, and shove them up your arse. ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:15 PM |
| i want to know how it was turned from coart saying she doesnt like diet pills to brandis turning it into coart doesnt care for her child....please some one explain this to me ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:16 PM |
| brandiss is a moron on a high horse. stop being irresponsible like us and go tend to your family ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:17 PM |
| Whittni - everyone thinks this pill has fen phen and it dosent. i read up on it the other day and it does not cause heart problems. now i am sure if you take more than 1 a day then it could but any diet pill could. ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:34 PM |
i never said coartney dosent care of her child never the less did i say she dosent take care of her child. she read into it wrong and if it sounds like i said that i didnt mean it that way. and believe me coartney i wouldnt NEVER compare my life to yours. and when i said something about scott i never said he has something to do with your weight loss. i was just saying i am sure you wouldnt be out dancing if he was here.
and yes i do have help from dino he is the father of my daughter why wouldnt he. and i understand that you dont have help from yours because he is gone and yes thats hard believe me i did it with my son alllll by myself.
all i said was i have more responsibilities at home and not at a bar.
and yes i wish i could go home and leave the job i have to make money to support my family and take care of them. i am at work from 8am - 5pm and its 11:24am here so i can not leave to go and take care of my children thats why i pay dinos mother to take care of xylea and i pay the ymca to take care of braylan.
anywho i explaned myself and thats all i am saying on that. and if you still are mad coartney i could really care less because you have said nasty shit here and there and dont give a shit on who you hurt either......
thank you. ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:38 PM |
| oh yeh, im so coldhearted. go pop some pills. ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:47 PM |
Well you just said she goes and dances and drinks at the bar and basically said thats where her responsibilites are. Just b/c she is staying with her parents does not mean that Coart doesn't look after her son, or that it gives her a free ticket to go out and drink whenever she wants. She was saying that pills aren't for her. I basically had said that they aren't for me either. You gain it all back after you stop, whether you eat well or not. If you ate well and excercised you would not have put it all on in the first place.They suppress your appetite and play with your metabolism. That doesn't continue when you stop taking them so you eat more, have a slow metabolism and GET FAT AGAIN.
Maye you should take up line dancing. Coart has nothing better to do apparently. Maybe she can take you. ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:49 PM |
| btw im not old enough to drink in bars. sooo .. its not the bar im there for, its the dancing, b.c regardless of if i have a kid, and i work, i can still find time to exercise rather than take a bunch of pills and use work and my kid as an excuse of being fat ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:50 PM |
| and on that note, my son is sleeping and i have work tonight, so im gonna go do some crunches and then take a nap also. or wait, is that me being a bad parent? ↑ |

my views here is your post on "in tears"
Name: Coartney Title: in tears. -coart-
So thursday night, i had made plans to go linedancing at cowboys with my best friend, also the godmother of braden. i told her ill be there at 9 to pick you up, i get there, shes not there, i wait, and close to 10 she shows up. with her friend. okay whatever she can go too, so i wait as they eat, and get changed, b.c they had gone to islands of adventures earlier. cool whatever. 1030 rolls around, and we leave, we get there at about 1045, and i was like i plan on staying to at least 1230.. 1110 rolls around, "we want to go home" well thank you for ruining my night. so i beared a smile and was like okay. said bye to my friends i hadnt seen in a year b.c ive been pregnant and gone. well we leave i drop her off come home and sit home alone with braden and my mom.
so today, i needed to go buy clothes, and i called and asked hey you wanna go, one of uor mutual friends was there too, and i was like yeh sure she can go, but i need to run to subway for my mom real quick, okay cool. so i pick them up, i go to subway, i come out with the food and get into the right turning lane to go to my house, they wanted to see the baby anyways, well as im doing this, she was like take me home. her fiance, "supposedly" called. i was like you know whatever so i smiled and brought them back to her apt. once again. so now im sitting here, not even my sister wants to go clothes shopping with me, my mom is gonna be watching braden so i can get out, and none of my "friends" answer their cell phones.
so not only didnt i get food b.c i didnt want to be rude and eat in front of my friends, im now sitting here with braden asleep, clothesless, and in tears.
yeh im probably over reacting, but dog damnit i just had a kid, my husband is in another fucking country, and my best friends dont even want to be around me when my mom gives me the opportunity to go out and have somewhat of a normal life.
i wanna call her so bad and tell her THANK YOU FOR BEING A DUMB BITCH AND HURTING MY FEELINGS.. not once, but twice in a 4 day period. assholes. ?
i seperated the part i am talking about-------
i believe when you have children thats your responsibility point blank. i believe here and there you might need some time to enjoy life with your loved one like going out to dinner or movie and just have a little break from the kids, or even mabye have a nice dinner with your friends...but in a reasonable time like from 6pm - 9pm not stay out till 11pm or 12 in the morning. and to me having children means bar, clubs and all nighters is not being a responsible parent. when i was little when my parents "went out" they were at the baby sitters house befor 8 to pick my brother and i up. they wouldnt dare pick us up at 11pm or 12 in the morning thats just not being responsible. when you decide to have children you decide to be a parent and let your old life behind. this is a new chapter in your life and its called responsibilities.
look at what you wrote
"GO OUT AND HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A NORMAL LIFE"
is your life not normal with brayden?
first of all what is a normal life to you??????
because the way you stated that it seems as if like your life now is not normal........ ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 12:59 PM |
| Randi where does it say in my post that she goes out and drinks.....look again BECAUSE I DIDNT.... ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 1:02 PM |
| RANDI i also understand about not liking the pills and its not for some people and i can not predict what will happen but the first time i did it i kept the weight off for a loooong time. ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 1:05 PM |
Brandiss, just b/c you are a mom doesn't suddenly mean you have to give up everything you used to do for good. I have gone out once without Kaden and I was not back by 8:00. I am young. I am a great mother. Being a mother does not mean you take a vow never to drink and go to places outside the home with childless friends and no babies. In order for you to be a good mother you need to have a balance. You need time away from your children. Time to hang out with grown ups and have fun. Who cares if you have a drink or go dancing? It's not like you are never coming home to your kid again. IMO you can't be a good parent if you are stressed or anxious. If going out with friends helps you wind down and feel normal then go ahead. Just don't do it everynight.
As for life with Braden being normal...She has only been a mom for 7 weeks. She spent 20 years of her life without him, so no, life with Braden is not normal...yet. Just like life with my son is not normal and he is 6 months old. ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 1:07 PM |
| and coart i am not using my kid and work as a excuse of me being fat. i had a baby i gained alot of weight i had a csection so i couldnt excersize the way i wanted. but now since braylan is out of school and no more homework and eveyone is not sick we can get out and walk. so i am not just taking pills to loose weight i am walking a mile a day also. so all in all do not depend on these pills to do it all. ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 1:10 PM |
| you wanna know hwat my normal life was like before? i was in the military, i had fun, i went out drinking, hanging out with friends, that was my normal life. i got pregnant and gave it all up and got married. yes it was my decision, doesnt mean everything in life will change. i dont give a shit what type of mother you think i am, b.c you have no idea. yes, my mother offered b.c i used to go every thursday and saturday night, and not to drink or party, but to dance, b.c it was a linedancing club. its great exercise, and i need company, adult company. i was out for 2 hours, and only 25 mins of it, was at this so called bar, or club. and about the shopping, my son sleeps til 3pm, he is sleeping right now, and usually he goes with me shopping, BUT he ws asleep and i wasnt about to wake him up and my mom told me to go. i dont have the company of my husband, my company is my son, my life is my son. so screw you and your perfect little mother scenario. ↑ |
| Name: mizzescalante | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 1:11 PM |
randi that was just my opinion and i respect yours. and you are right you need that time away but not to live a normal life. i could never say my life was not normal because of my children at all. this is the life i chose, i chose to have children so therefor my life is normal, a little crazy sometimes but normal.
but like i said thats just me and thats my opinion. ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Jun 6th, 2007 1:14 PM |
| Well the c section isn't an excuse either IMO. I had an abdominal seperation as well as a c section and I got it all off. I gained a lot of weight with my son and I have a very small frame. You have to eat right and not sit on your ass just b/c you had surgery. I still haven't been given the ok to excercise yet b/c the seperation hasn't healed. I am still able to walk and do other stuff, just not tummy excercises. Tummy excercises won't make your stomach flat anyway. You need to walk or do something else to burn the fat. Or the lazy way... taking pills. ↑ |
