Getting Started

Took my tablet at 7am after only getting to sleep at 4am! I woke up feeling OK though. Didn't feel vague like yesterday or spacey. Lots of energy so kicked lots of goals at home. Decided to take kids to lunch and we went to Subway (as we often do). My kids love Subway, so why not? I had a Vegie...

Well this is day one! My current weight is 69.5kgs and my goal is to lose around 10kgs. Because my height is only 164cm i'm currently overweight according to my BMI. I was put on duromine because i have a lot of back pain, my GP and i have decided that less weight should mean less strain on my...

So, I went to my GP last week. I have a very, very painful condition in my foot (which makes any form of walking agony and will require surgery to fix it) and due to a myriad of stressful situations over the last 5 years (my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!), I weighed in at 94.5kg. I am...

sooooo one week in! and a total of 4.5kgs-its funy and sad how even that feels disappointing:/...I mean I remember being this weight a month ago but I binged for so long....I have to stop thinking well if I had just started doing this at 80kgs or 90kgs or 100 kgs....its done and the only way up...

Second day back at work since starting Duromine and man am I exhausted! Is this normal and will it last it will I get some energy back? I feel great up untill lunch time and then its all down hill. Maybe I've overdone it between the gym and work? No further weight loss to report.

ohhhhh man today is day 6 and I am just so hungry!! was fine at breaky/lunch and not to bad till about 3pm then I could have eaten my own hand.... I have been telling myself I don't need to go up to the 40's as I don't want to reley soley on the pills but its only day 6 and I don't feel like I...

Today was my first full day back at work since I started taking Duromine. I had a big exhausting day moving to engine oil layout around at work all by myself! A lot of lifting, walking back and forward and climbing ladders, my shoulders are killing me! I feel as though I'm over the worst of...

ok so another day down again I had my pill a little later in the morning around 9-9:30...I find it helps with the night munchies. Although to be honest I still feel hungry, I get a sort of queasy tummy and a little vague in the afternoon but besides that nothing to major with the side...

So today was a mixed day. Had an awesome sesh in the gym this morning ate fairly healthy but a little too much. Tired myself out running errands, I should have had a nap but didn't which resulted in a monster head ache / migraine that made me almost want to puke! After having some aspirin and a...

weird I could have sworn I did my day 3 blog-oh well-day 3 and 4 feel pretty similar anyway-still getting pretty tired by late arvo, I have managed not to eat after dinner the last 2 nights and have 3 small meals...not dry mouth no headaches or any other side effects- im a little worried though...

This Is Everything About Me: My name is Jacqui, I live in a small city on the coast of Western Australia. I work full-time and live with my partner of almost 2 years. I'm not new to forums and blogs, I've been on them for years looking for support and inspiration. I'm in the middle of a life...

so decided to take tablet a little later this morning-seemed to help as hunger was less tonight- I went for a nice bike ride with my kids and realy just made a conscious effort to drink water and keep away from bread...I had a little moody episode tonight but wasn't to bad-I am currently coming...

ok so last night after day one I was surprised at how well I fell asleep and actually had quite a good sleep-I am a very light sleeper so the slightest sound wakes me but that's nothing new for me-all in all day one was somewhat normal- I did get a bit hungry last night and had a sandwich but I...

WOW Day 4 and no massive side effects!! Little restless at night and a very dry mouth, nothing LOTS of water doesn't fix. I sat down last night and had a chat to my husband about how much I want to loose weight and be healthy again he was really very supportive and booked us a dinner at a...

so first offa bit about myself- 31 year old mum of 3...currently 108 kgs prescribed duromine 30mg for one month (so far) I guess my weight problems really started after my first baby but I had always had issues with food before that,but due to being quite active wasn't very overweight,being 175...

Today I took a photo of myself which is a massive challenge for me even though I am a photographer. I dont think I can up load here but I have decided to take a photo similar in style every day for the next 6 months and see what healthy mind body and spirit does to the outward appearance. Over...

I started Duromine 30mg on 10 September 2013. It's my sixth day on Duromine. I have not had any major side effects since I started. One thing I am experiencing is that I get hunger pains althou I don't feel like eating. I drink lots of water and rooibos tea without milk or sugar. I eat a small...

Hi my name is Tash and I am 21 100kg. I have struggled all my life to loss weight but no matter how healthy I eat or how fit I get I never shed the kilos (I mainly gain muscle making me look bigger). I have been asking my family doctor to put me on some type of weight loss drug for years and he...

Hello! Today is day 2 on my Duromine tabs, and before i get started, i have to change my stats on my last entry. I weighed myself before my gym session last night but after my first blog and my starting weight was actually 83.3kg not 82kg as previously stated. So, day 2- I have not had any...
