I had need steadily losing weight for the first two weeks, but now, at the start of the third week, Iv gained back about a pound ? Now I’m feeling less hopeful that phentermine is going to work for me :(

Any encouragement or advice to get the weight to start going down again ?

I never lost a huge amount like some people do either, just like 7-8lbs in two weeks (which I realize is still pretty good) I just don’t understand why the scale is now going up again …

Starting weight at the doctors on April 27th was 258lbs at 5’4”

11days on phentermine and I’m down to 251 on my home scale

So around 7-ish pounds lost ….im happy but worried its only water weight and surely nothing would reeeally work for me losing *actual* weight 😟🙄 …so I await further loss

I’ve been tracking my calories and keep it between 1200 and 1500 ..and take 3-4 short walks a day about 8-10 minutes each

So I realize it has only been a little less than a week, but I thought this medication started working immediately.

No appetite suppression !

I was on 15mg, now taking 30mg past couple days..still nothing

Could it start working all of a sudden or am I a non responder ?
