Hi Julianna & Amber,
Sorry I didn't get right back to you. I got on line last night and my 18 mo. old daughter woke up right as I started to reply. It was not a good night. We actually had to go for a drive and didn't come home until 1:30 am! 5:45 sure came early this morning!
I've only been taking the Pent. for about 10 days now, so I can't tell too much of a diff. It doesn't give me energy, but I don't think there are actually any stimulants in it to do that. I have noticed that I've been feeling chilly alot lately, I don't know if that's from the weather change or the Pent. If it is from the Pent. that would make sense, since it is supposed to be making your body burn off it's stored energy(fat), and to get your body temp back up actually makes you burn calories. Another thing that makes me feel like it is working is that the directions tell you not to eat for at least 30 minutes after taking it to allow it to get in your system, and if I don't eat within an hour my stomach will start growling like crazy!
Unfortunately I can't report actual poundage lost, because I don't weigh. I'm one of those crazy people who go by the fit of the clothes. When I was in high school I had a little self-perception problem, went to a fat Dr. (at 107lbs. and I'm 5'6"), took the pills, shot in the rear and all.....needless to say it led to an eating problem etc. So ever since I got my head on straight I don't get on a scale! Even though I know what I'm doing (LC'ing) is right for me and healthy, I'm afraid if I actually saw the numbers I would freak! So I just don't do it, my numbers on this site are just a guess. All I know is since I started LC'ing, not quite a month ago, I have dropped 2 sizes in jeans
. That's the good news, the rest of the story is that I still have 2 or 3 to go to make me happy!
I will definately keep you guys posted on the progress with the Pent. My husband is taking it and so is my sister now. So between the three of us we should be able to give it a fair review.
Gotta get off now, everyone else is in bed and I just realized I have to go out to the kitchen and mix up my Pent!
Good night,
Dory
