Hi,

I am 5'3 and I currently weigh 128 pounds. I would like to lose between 5-10 pounds. Do you guys think I can accomplish that (5 pounds) in a month if I go to the gym 2 times a week for an hour on the elliptical or arc trainer and eat healthy (no junk food, cutting off alcohol for that month). I WAS going to try to eat 3 imes a day, but that's not possible for me due to school and work.Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello...

I was in the same boat trying to loose weight but not eating enough because of my busy schedule and my kids schedule... When you don't eat, your body holds on to whatever you put into it because it is basically in starvation mode! I started a 90 day challenge with Body By Vi that is so simple and is just a meal replacement and I have lost 16 pounds (and my hubby 19) in just our first 30 days... I recommend it to anyone who is trying to loose weight, get fit, or even build muscle!

Losing 5 lbs in a month is just a little more than 1lb per week. Which is definitely doable.

I'd join a site like myfitnesspal or sparkpeople - both of which are free - where you can enter in your current and goal weight. You can also enter in your activity and it can help you come up with a daily caloric goal to meet your goal weight.

Personally I'd avoid anythink like the shakes, supplements, etc. You want to find a plan that is sustainable. And I don't see meal replacements as sustainable long term.

Look at www.advocare.com at their active line. The Advobars have 11 grams of protein and the meal replacement bars have 16 grams of protein. Both are great for quick and easy meal replacements. Plus they are low in sugar and offer a lot of nutrition. I eat these daily and have lost 40 pounds with advocare.

Phentermine is the generic name for an obesity management drug. Brand names include Adipex-P, Fastin, Ionamin, Obenix, Obephen, Oby-Cap, Oby-Trim, Panshape M, Phentercot, Phentride, Pro-Fast HS, Pro-Fast SA, Pro-Fast SR, Teramine, and Zantryl.phen375 is used as both short-term and long-term medicine to treat obesity, usually accompanied by diet and behavior modification. It will suppress appetite by affecting neurotransmitters' metabolism through changing the brain's serotonin levels. In effect, what this achieves is to prevent the brain from receiving any hunger message by stimulating a particular group of neurotransmitters known as catecholamine, which includes dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.Since phentermine is chemically close in structure to the amphetamines, users may become addicted to it. In many countries today, phentermine has become a controlled substance. The FDA would recommend its short-term use for a period of up to 12 weeks, in combination with healthy dieting and exercise. This is because after 12 weeks, phentermine would generally lose its appetite suppressing effects as the body gets adjusted to the drug dosage.However, there was a study whereby phentermine was used over a trial-period of 36 weeks without losing its effect. Nonetheless, it is recommended that this drug be taken either before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast, due to the fact that it can cause the subject to develop insomnia. Never take phentermine in the evening, and always take it on an empty stomach once or twice a day.Phentermine is known to be a relatively well-tolerated drug, yet it can produce side effects such as increased heart beat rate of over 100 beats per minute, and the attendant increased alertness. Though this is less pronounced compared to taking amphetamines, its long-term use may lead the subject to develop euphoria as a symptom of psychological addiction.Other symptoms include dizziness, blurred vision, or restlessness, and it may even hide the symptoms of extreme tiredness. Therefore, when on this medication, do not perform hazardous activities such as driving or operating machinery.Also do not crush any phentermine tablets or chew open any capsules, swallow them whole. The patient should gradually stay off this medicine instead of stopping the program suddenly, and such timing should coincide with the gradual weight loss achieved, as advised by the doctor. This is to minimize to the utmost extent whatever withdrawal symptoms may ensue.The patient should stop taking phentermine if they begin to experience any emergency symptoms such as symptoms of an allergic reaction which includes swelling of the lips, face, or tongue, breathing difficulties, throat closing, or hives. Furthermore, if there are any instances of high blood pressure, which generally include blurred vision or severe headaches, irregular heartbeat, confusion, hallucinations, or abnormal behavior, make sure you contact your physician immediately.When other less serious side effects surface, continue taking phentermine, but with the doctor's knowledge of your symptoms that might include tremors, restlessness, anxiety, nervousness, dizziness, headaches, insomnia, dry mouth, constipation, diarrhea, or changes in the sex drive.People with a history of high blood pressure, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, glaucoma, alcohol abuse, or drug abuse must avoid taking Phentermine. Additionally, if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), or phenelzine (Nardil) in the last 14 days you cannot take the medication.
