I stopped taking the phentermine for a week, gained 3 lbs, then decided to go ahead and take it again. During that week I quit I ate a bunch of crap and didn't exercise at all. So I am back to exercising and limiting my portions and we will see where this goes. I am back down to my 268-69. I really desperately want another 20 lbs off before the end of the year so that we can go back to trying to have a baby. I could really start trying anytime I want but determined to lose that 20 more lbs. I will NOT ever let the scale see 300 lbs again! This is determination.
