Can you lose weight on phentermine without exercise

Well done.
I like the thought that the shy wife had him jumping through hoops to satisfy her sexually.
There isn't any better way to get exercise and lose weight than humping the weight away.
A fun read and I enjoyed it thoroughly, thanks

All the fancy fad diets are designed for only one reason - to make money for the author. Losing weight really is simple arithmetic; use more calories than you eat and you will lose weight. Also, don't try to rush it and don't be depressed if it goes slowly. A weight loss of a pound a week is fine. All these diets which talk about losing 5-10 pounds a week are not healthy for you. Even if you are 50 pounds overweight - you will lose it in a year!
And one final incentive. If you lose weight, your penis gets bigger. Well, not really, but you lose that pad of fat above it and when you lose your belly, you get closer to your partner, so you can get more of it inside. So sex is better for your partner, and she/he is going to be a lot happier if there is less weight on top as well!
Happy walking!

I agree with most of what you have said. I lost 60 lbs over about 8 months and have stayed at my goal for 6 months since. I used to nearly live on Rolaids, but haven't needed a single one since I started losing weight. Feel great. Look great.
I don't think it is practical to lose weight by either exercise alone or diet alone. It takes both. Diet alone is too slow. You need a certain amount of food to get basic nutrition. Without exercise, diet alone will be too slow and you will get discouraged and give up. With exercise alone you tend to just eat more to make up for it and if you ever stop exercising you gain it right back.
The best exercise for burning calories is running. Hands down, nothing burns as many calories per hour as a vigorous run.
I disagree strongly about weighing yourself. I weigh myself 3 or 4 times a day. The fluctuations are there, but if you only weigh yourself once a week the fluctuations can ruin your entire week vs. seeing the trend as each day goes by.
Studies of the less than 5% of people who lose a lot of weight and manage to keep it off show certain common behaviors:
1. They exercise 1 hour per day.
2. They weigh themselves frequently and make adjustments based on their weight.
3. They write down what they eat.
4. They eat a diet high in whole grains, fruits and veggies and low in fat.
I strongly recommend a free diet journaling website, of which there are many. Sparkpeople. Daily Plate, My Calorie Counter etc.
The other thing I found is that you need to learn to live with being a little bit hungry. If you think there is some diet out there that will cause you to lose weight without being hungry, I think you are likely to fail. Learn to embrace the hunger. Revel in it. Hunger to be thin. Keep repeating: Hunger is just the feeling of fat leaving your body. If you are eating a reasonable diet, a little hunger is probably good for you.
The other advice I have is, don't adopt any special diet. Don't start eating diet food. That's a dead end. Eat what you like, but control the portions so your calorie intake is under control. That is the only sustainable diet.

I'm not disagreeing with your advice, exactly, I'm pointing out that long term weight loss of more than, say, 5, maybe 10 pounds, is impossible. Period. Despite dozens of clinical trials using every form and combination of diet and exercise around, all weight lost comes back except, again, 5-10 pounds. Period. The faster you lose weight, the faster you regain it. People who start and maintain a strict diet/exercise routine will lose weight and then regain most of it by the end of 1 year, and pretty much all of it in 2 years. I'm not saying this to make people feel bad; on the contrary, I'm saying this to make it clear to people that your weight is as genetically determined as your height. Being overweight is not a flaw, it's not a mistake, it's not proof that you are some lazy slob, it's just you.
The reason people think diets work is because they DO work, for a little while, and because almost no one maintains a diet. So what happens is, people yo-yo. I know someone who loves the Atkins diet, because they cut carbs to get down to size, then eat whatever they want until they come back up to the weight they don't like. This is one of the worst things you can do to your body besides smoke. Stop worrying about your food and enjoy it instead. After all, being overweight means you will, statistically, live longer and fare most any disease/operation/disorder better than your skinny counterparts.

You missed the part about his depression with his parents dying. Also the lack of work. To top it off I can tell you that not everything is as easy as it seems. To go and workout and get into shape, what did she tell him, that he was real and all that. He was in a lose lose situation without any chance of getting out of it. Also, some people really can't lose the weight. To top it off she shitt all over him. Deserved or not he may have been part of the problem but if his weight was such an issue for her then she needed to talk to him about it..

I really enjoyed your story, I have had some adventures just like that in my younger years. I am on a diet to lose weight to see if I can still lick mine. wish me luck!
