Since I just started3 days ago, my Second day I have lost 3 pounds. My goal is 40 pounds . And I will also try the garcinia myself. I had to make myself eat at least once a day. The phentermine suppressed my appetite which I like because I tend to over eat. Working at a weight loss center is great. I'm gonna try the LEVO shots that are best for weight loss and let everyone know how it goes

You go to weight loss clinics. Phentermine must be prescribed because it's a controlled substance. It does along with b-12 shots, however you can pay extra and get Levo shots, which are best for weight loss, it has b12, levo which is the best for weight loss, and lidocaine in it. I just got hired at a weight loss clinic in Folsom, CA and actually just started the program myself. The doctor told me for the first 2 days, to take half a pill, in the morning because it lasts 12 hours so I should sleep 12 hours after taking it . (Taking it earlier is better), the packet comes with fiber (for people who need help using the bathroom, take twice a day AS NEEDES it's complimentary ) also comes with the cromium which is taken once a day, as needed to cut your sugar craving. And we give a 1-4 week supply, if you get over a week supply there's b12 supplements, the first week you get the b12 shot . One week is $35, two is $65, three is $100 and four is $125. I recommend people get the one week however, because it's better to be checked up on every week, other wise we tend to slack off. There's also difference brands we offer of the phentermine if the patients complain of headaches. Also, we give 5HTP complimentary if the patients say the phentermine gives them mood swings.
Note: you must meet with the Doctor the first time you want to start the program so he can make sure your BMI isn't too low or something, he checks your heart. Also, if your b/p is too high, we cannot dispense. So you just go to your primary care and take care of that , get on losinopril or something, then you may start the program when your b/p is under 140/90. The physical for the first visit and also required once a year is an extra $30. I think overall it's pretty cheap, if you bring a friend in we give you a week for free. We have other supplements, my coworker is taking garcinia and lots 7 pounds in 2 and a half weeks. Anyone near Folsom interested may visit us and I can explain further at Cascade Medical wellness center. 1835 prairie city rd, suite 200, Folsom, CA 95630. We're open Wednesday's and Thursday's 11:00 AM- 7:00 PM and Friday's 7:00 AM- 3:00 PM . By the way I lost 3 pounds my second day on the program

I have been on phentermine 37.5, chromium, &; the b12 shots for about a month.. I am not seeing any changes!! What am I doing wrong??

my Dr said that I do not meet the criteria for Phentermine, she said that if your body fat is not at a certain level it is against the law to right a script for it.

I am 5'6' and weight 155 what do you think?

I am 5,4  and weigh 148. I am 47 years old. My doctor prescribed it for me, but my nurse said I was right on the borderline. I want to be 125. I have never been this big before, so I really hope this jump starts it for me.
Oh you should be happy you don't have a hundred pounds to take off or more than a hundred lb you're not grossly obese just go to another physician the weights not bad
That isn't against the law and everybody's bone structure and size of their bones is different as well as their skin my skin is very thin and very fragile and delicate my skin cannot take weight gain and my tiny bones that are narrow and small little light muscles cannot take any weight gain and shouldn't have the weight I have on be now I should weigh the amount I want to weigh and the amount I want to weigh isn't the wait I am now

Hi, I just started the b12 injections and 15mg phentermine 6 days ago and so far I'm not feeling any different except dry mouth no energy now I have a very high tolerance to medications for example when I had my surgery they gave me oxy for the pain now for people it'll knock them out and they nothing more pain well for me it only makes the pain tolerable and I don't get tired. So when I go back for my first check up witch is in 6 days I'll be asking them to up my dosage to 30mg do you think this will help me ex experience the same side effects most of you are having like white loss more energy ex...?

Why didn't have dry mouth from appetite suppressant Phentermine or any appetite suppressant didn't give me dry mouth an antihistamine causes dry mouth I would drink more water and suck on sugarless men's sore candy and sugarless gum any medicine similar to Benadryl has caused dry mouth and if I drink coffee and I don't take any medication the coffee causes dry mouth so dusty if I chew gum sugarless then I don't have the dry mouth

I have been doing the same b12 shots once a week, and phentermine started 15 mg pill once a day then I moved up the dose to 30mg. With a no carb no sugar diet and excersice. First week I lost 7 pounds and then 3-4 pounds ech week after that. Only one week I did not loose anything because I ate things I wasnt supposed to, learned from it and continued my diet the right way after that bad week.  It's been 5 weeks and I have lost 22 pounds so far!!! And I'm very happy! Phentermine gives me energy, takes away my hunger, and Im in a better mood and happy! Only side effect its ocasional morning headache and my period lasted a little bit longer with some mood changes!but after that Im my old happy self again!

What type of things do you eat? I've been on phentermine & b12 for a month & no results!! I work out 5-6 days a week!!
With the phentermine and the b12 shots you HAVE to be on a low carb diet or you won't lose any weight. They aren't magic, it takes some time and definitely some motivation to eat exactly what you are supposed to.
What doctor gave birth control pills to regulate the menstrual cycle another doctor gave birth control pills to prevent patient from going through their menstrual cycle and gave patient appetite suppressant prescription the woman treated by the physician was so grateful and appreciated the Physicians good care no other doctor had caused the patient to lose weight nor regulated the patient's menstrual cycle so easily by taking the pill continuously for one year the patient and more energy and was exercising frequently before birth control pills the patient was an exercising frequently after a year of birth control pills the patient discontinued them and had normal menstrual cycles and maintaining a normal weight became extremely easy and the patient was healthier than any years prior to the doctors treatment with birth control and appetite suppressant before the birth control and appetite suppressant treatment the patient was exhausted didn't exercise frequently or the amount of most people the patient's age was gaining weight continuously and Cycles were devastating patient how to just stay in bed and elevate and was under the age of 18
Some males and females when they exercise workout they just eat more so some males and females to lose weight actually have to not work out so much and not exercise so much I don't have appetite suppressants I need appetite suppressants I need didrex and fasting and a swimming pool I can get into and move around and swim I would love to have a swim friend to take me to a pool and go in with me every day especially at night late I love Night Swimming

Hello, anyone still on here? I am just starting my journey with b12 weekly injections and daily phentermine pills. So far the day has been good. I drink lots of water due to dry mouth from the pills and i've noticed i've not been very hungry or I get full fast. Changed my diet for the past month, weight loss has been slow..so, I used a groupon from a local weight loss facility. I plan to lose at least 40lbs. I am 196 at 5' 3". Which is NOT good.. Hopefully this helps. Anyone else choosing to start their journey over the holidays?? lol not the best idea but I want to feel good again. I just need a kick start.

HI I've been taking phentermine for 3 months with b12 shot once a month,and I exercise 5 days a week and I lost 23lbs,but now I see i dont lose much weight nomore,I dont know why,,Im trying to lose 45 more pound,,my question is can I drink the b12 pills with the phentermine?.I dont have enough energy
Lupus is hereditary auto immune you have it or you don't .... I have lupus sle diagnosed 13 years ago after child birth and I have taken phrntermine years later and lost 78 pounds and never once caused a flare in me... which not saying it can't but it doesn't cause the actual lupus disease.
Phentermine the generic for fastin doesn't cause lupus doesn't trigger lupus if anything what Phentermine will do is one healthy thing reduce weight and help keep the body healthy from excessive weight gain and I'm the excessive weight gain can cause high blood pressure heart problems diabetes arthritis waiting to use asthma all kinds of other medical conditions which wouldn't occur if the body wasn't overweight Phentermine isn't a problem prescription don't even worry about appetite suppressant prescriptions are not bad
The last comment above about Phentermine isn't a problem prescription don't worry about I was trying to type Phentermine isn't a bad prescription for weight reduction and believe in me doesn't cause problems like most people think I would be more concerned over weight gain because the weight gain create so many unwanted medical conditions such as high blood pressure diabetes fat around the organs let alone what the weight does to the heart the heart has to pump just to carry all the weight on the body around that's why some obese people are huffing and puffing when they move around or try to exercise the wait is just too much on their body God shouldn't have made humans where they gained weight and go beyond the pounds they should be maybe someday he'll create a machine that we can just step into and instantly become our desired weight until then we may count our calories be careful of what types of foods we choose and the mount the size the portion and exercise along with appetite suppressants can help mine usually doesn't have the get up and go to exercise when there's so many pounds weighing us down on our body the less we weigh the more active and more exercise we can do

Hi All,

I am new to the forum but certainly not new to dieting.  I have used Phentermine successfully both with and without the B12 shots but the most effective diet for me is no carb.  I lost 100 lbs in 10 months and have never felt better.  Good luck to you all and whatever you do make sure it is safe!

Hello all,

I'm a 5'10" 41yo male, and I started taking Vitamin B-12 Injections on 4/04/2015.  I would have started phentermine on the same day, but my BP was 163/90.  I am guessing this was due to lack of exercise and gaining 20-25lbs, as I have never had high BP.  My Doctor then prescribed me Licinopril - 10-12.5mg medication, and after a week, I am back in the 130/75 range.  During that week, I changed my diet, the times and amount I ate, and began a light cardio program 2 days a week to build stamina.  I went from 230lbs down to 224lbs.  

Today, (Saturday 4/11/2015), I gave myself the 2nd B-12 injection and I also began taking (1) 37.5mg phentermine tablet in the morning, around 7:30am.  I also wanted to get an idea what to expect when I take it before work.  The level of alertness and energy I feel is incredible!  Work-out was great, and I didn't run out of energy.  I also like to workout before I eat breakfast.  Most fitness sites/blogs/programs and experts recommend eating after your work-out.  After all, your burning fat, and fat turns into energy!  

After my morning workout, I have 2 scrambled eggs, a handful of unsalted almonds and a protein shake to repair/support lean muscle growth (60/grams protein).  During the day, I snack on fresh vegetables w/ fat free ranch or Italian dressing, peanuts/almonds, and another protein shake.  For dinner, its chicken or fish w/ steamed/grilled vegetables.  

For many of us, its the lack of energy and/or motivation to "start" to live a healthier lifestyle.  This medication will definitely help you.  Once you get yourself in a routine, and you see the results, it will become 2nd nature.  

For those of you looking for a program such as this, I purchased mine on Groupon for $149, here in the Dallas, TX area.  I searched "weight loss programs". It includes initial Dr visit, 4 week follow-up visit, 4 weeks of B-12 injections, and an 8 week prescription of phentermine.  Hope this helps!!

My goal is to go from 230lbs to 185lbs in 8 weeks.  I'll check back next week to report progess.

Do you have any weight loss clinics in your area? I live in Illinois but right on the Mississippi River so I am going to a place in Iowa called Infinity Medical Group. If anything just google "weight loss clinic in ****" and put in the area you live in.

Slinkmeister, I was totally with you on this. How could you loose weight so fast? I didn't start to believe it until one of my customers dropped a bunch of weight. She told me she used a medical weight loss program called Go Figure. They prescribed her Phentermine and a Lipo B12 shot but the deal was that she had to go in every week to get refilled because they don't give you pills and send you away, they teach you how to eat properly and coach you weekly on your follow ups. She lost over 40 pounds in 4 months. Im a dude so I thought sounds good for her but probably not me.

My neighbor Martin, also a big guy like me started loosing weight. I began asking him about it and he just said that he quit drinking and started taking supplements. He travels a lot so almost 2 months went by before I saw him again and he had lost a bunch more weight. He had me get his mail for him while he was gone and I noticed one was from Go Figure. I thought, no way Martin in on Go Figure, but then I started thinking that if he were like a typical dude who was proud and didn't want people to know he needed help then he wouldn't admit to using a program either.

I went to Go Figures website and there on the cover was a testimonial of a guy named Mark. They purposely did not show his face clearly in the pictures but in the before picture he was wearing a short sleeve shirt and there was my neighbors tattoo. Mark had lost 47 pounds in 19 weeks. In the testimonials I also saw the local news anchors before and after pics, a lady from my church had lost 36 pounds in 15 weeks. I was convinced.

I signed up for the program and start next week. Its $360 for the initial visit, which includes blood work, ekg, food and diet counseling, supplements,  BMI and blood pressure check, a week prescription on phentermine or Phendimetrazine, and if you want the B12 + MIC shot its an extra $20

Currently I'm 40yo, weigh 241 pounds and I am 5'10" with a large frame.

if your taking it that early then make sure you take the other half before 2pm so your sleep isn't effected . Now you might not get to sleep til 10 - 11 pm .
If you can try to take your half of a pill for the whole day @ 10am -11am then see how that does you if you can hold off til that time of the morning . Just work with it and see what is best for you .

hello all,
  My daughter and I are looking into medical weight loss. Both of us have anxiety disorder and bad backs (I have degenerated disks and she has curvature of the upper spine) so I am concerned how the medications will make us feel. Both of us are on medications as well. I am currently taking pain medication along with other meds to control the pain and she is on an antidepressant. Basically, I want to know what kind of ill side effects you have experienced using the shots, pills, whatever you have done. What interactions with medications have you seen? I thank you all for your help and guidance.
