Phentermine and B12 shots...how much weight have you lost?

I have started Phentermine and B12 shots once a week. I went today for my first week weight check and my second shot.....my weight loss for my first week is 9.5 pounds!!!!
Anyone else using Phentermine and B12? I would love to hear how other people have done on these meds.
Good Luck to everyone trying...I want to hear your story!

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

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

Yes there is a place called Bee Healthy and its is in West Columbia. They are great. I lost 9lbs in my first week. I will continue with the shots and Phentermine until I lose at least 40lbs altogether. I am so glad I found a way to lose weight and not feel hungry. The Place is located on Sunset Blvd.  Good Luck.

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.
