Hi all, I have been at the hospital all day today - it was a beautiful and horrible day all at the same time. Dad's heart rate was 175 beats per minute and they cannot understand why - he has lost another 2kg's in 4 days. One minute I think he is going to leave me and then I think - maybe he...

Morning all, I am not shifting any weight on the scales since Wednesday and I have only 3 tablets left. I have not sought another prescription as I am hoping that I can lose the last few kg's by myself. It is funny, every time I get down to around 71kg, all seems to stop - its like my body...

Hi all, I weighed in at 71kg this morning, so have lost 9kgs all up - which I am happy about. I haven't been here for a bit as my father has been diagnosed with mesothelioma and it seems to be in its advanced stages which is very sad. Not quite sure where to from here - have to go to the...

I forgot my tablet this morning as I was a bit distracted as I was seeing my dad for the first time in many years after learning he has cancer. It was a good catch up although heartbreaking as he is very Ill and frail. I am exhausted and emotionally drained but very glad I made the first...

hi all, I took a 'sickie' today - this is something that I never do - I recall maybe 3 times in over 30 years of work - :P gawed, what is wrong with me??? :) I turned off the phone and the computer and felt so liberated - it is just crazy how connected we are with workmates, kids and just...

Morning all, I should have waited until this morning to get on the scales as Wednesday is my official weigh in - as I have lost 2 kgs this week bringing my total to 8 kgs in 18 days and down to 72kg's! My target is 69 - but now I am thinking I might bring that down to 67kg..... :) This week...

Morning all, I got on the scales this morning and haven't really shifted from last Wednesday weight in - maybe 0.5kg - which is fine considering the initial 6kg the first week, but I couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.... I think the euphoria of that initial big loss gets you in...

Eeek, went out for dinner last night and went a bit overboard - so early morning and getting into the exercise. Gorgeous Italian place and started off with bruschetta and then some pasta (with tomatoe based sauce) so not toooooo bad, BUT! then had a bit of sticky date pudding and to top it...

Morning all, As I mentioned when I first started on my weight loss adventure, I have never blogged before and I am finding this quite therapeutic. I am sort of using this as my own personal diary. It is amazing waking up each morning and feeling just a little bit lighter - it keeps me...

Morning all, Nothing much to report - had craving for salada's and tomatoes again, so that was my tea last night. Had a lamb tagine for lunch with cous cous, so thought a few crackers will do me. Did my walk to work which was lovely - will do the same this morning, I have noticed that my...

Wow, I am very happy - down to 74kg's this morning. That is a loss of 6kg in 12 days!!! Mind you - I was 80kg's at the doc's with clothes on - and this morning not - so, might be stretching it a bit;) ....however, I am very happy and looking forward to hitting my goal one day in the not too...

Hi all Tomorrow is weigh in day so will be interesting how much I have lost. I wake up around 4am and take my tablet the. It seems to help taking it that early re the sleep. Everything else is going well. Had a craving for crackers and tomatoes tonight which was a bit weird ?! I don't ever...

Morning all, Day 7 and finally had a better sleep which is great - still not fantastic, but I went to bed a bit later and at least slept until 6.30 with about 4 wake ups - one at 4am where I took my tab for today. I was considering not taking it today so I could really sleep well tonight -...

Morning all, It is day six and still going well although the sleep is still an issue. I woke up at 4am and took my tablet at that time, so I am hoping that it will be truly out of my system by tonight. The weird thing is that I am not tired in the day - although normally I need a solid 8-9...

Morning all, Well - it is the morning of Day 5 and my difficulty sleeping looks like is starting to fade - I had the best night sleep since starting last Saturday. The next challenge to overcome is the constant 'scale check'. I can't believe how much weight I have already lost - a staggering...

Hi everyone, This is the first blog I have ever written. I am 49 years old and have tried for about four years to get down to 69 kgs. Finally thought I would try duromine. I am on day 3 and have had no side effects apart from a bit of restless sleep and dry mouth. Definitely a lot less...
