Getting Started

Day 7. Took my last 15mg Duromine pill today before I start on 30mg. SW (Monday 9th) - 120kg Weighed in this morning : 116.5kg. So a loss of 3.5kg for week one. Pretty good, I’ll be stoked with atleast 1kg a week. Trying to not compare myself with others. Will be interested in seeing how...

I've been on the dreadmill every day since I started Duro, walking at a brisk pace for 30-45 minutes. I'm noticing the difference in my fitness already. I actually jogged up a flight of stairs yesterday - of course I made sure I was alone, lol. Who wants to see the fatty jiggling all the way up...

Wow, my appetite has disappeared again with a vengeance. I actually feel like I slept better last night, although my fitbit tells me I only got 5 hours 50 min. I've been averaging 5.5 hours a night this past week, but considering my non-D average is around 6 hours, that's doable. In other...

A couple of days ago I posted a whiney entry about all the things I can't/don't do because I'm fat, so I thought it would be good to set some goals so I can reward myself with some of those things. Might update this, just a brain dump right now. Mini goal 1: 85kg (7.5kg lost) - Reward: Pat on...

My calves hurt, but only for the first 10 minutes on the dreadmill. I'm pretty bored during that time too. Then I get into the zone - I've found it helps to up my walking speed so I'm really working and my heart rate is up. I thought about putting a TV in the gym room but I'm finding that...

After half an hour on the dreadmill I decided it was time to take some measurements. BUST = 112cm / 44" WAIST = 108cm / 42.5" HIPS = 123.5cm / 48.5" THIGH = 74.5cm / 29" Whoa Nellie. In the interests of accurate record-keeping (heh) I also weighed myself. I'm 89.8kg! Lost 2.7kg in three days...

Here's a little potted history of me and my fluctuating weight, which will probably be interesting to nobody ever. Let's face it, even I get bored with it. So, at the age of 16 I thought I was fat... ha! I wasn't, as photographic evidence proves. However, at 17 when I was in year 12 I developed...

I might delete this post later because it's depressing, but for now, a reminder to myself of some of the many reasons I'm doing this. Things I don't do because I'm fat: * Shave my legs or bikini line. It's actually physically difficult when you have so much chub to work around. * Go to the...

Some stats, as I remember them: Feb 2011, first child born, I weighed about 75kg Aug 2011, back down to about 57-58kg (posey pic below) Jan 2013, second child born, I weighed about 73kg Jul 2014, back down to about 57kg (bad selfie below) This entry has been brought to you by pure...

So I've gone up and down in weight throughout my adult life, but I'm the heaviest I've ever been by far. Even at 9 months pregnant I was nowhere near this heavy! And now that I'm past 45 it's so hard to lose it. Not that I've really been trying lately... let's be honest, for the past 2 years...

Does everyone just eat breakfast lunch & dinner. Plus water Or do use have a protein shake awell. Only lost 1kg & I've been smashing out the gym plus 2 pt session a week.

This is my first time using duromine 30mg and I'm currently on day 3. I don't feel like I have any extra energy and am finding myself getting extremely hot and sweaty, even when I'm not actually doing anything. Has anyone else experienced this?

I HAD A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP, FELT SUPER POSITIVE AFTER A WEIGHED MYSELF AND I LOST 2.3 KGS IN TWO DAYS,IM STARTING TO EAT BETTER, AND DECIDED THAT EATING A FEW SMALL MEALS A DAY HELPS WITH MY TIREDNESS THAT I FELT TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY. HAVING A EMPTY TUMMY IS NOT GOOD AND MADE ME FEEL...

hey here I am Day one and it’s 5.30am and I took my first 30mg D 1 hour ago I’m feeling the start of a dry mouth - hope it’s not going to be too bad and feeling slightly dizzy when I walk around. I have put on 20 kgs over the past 5 years with an under active thyroid so hoping this will help...

HEY Guys ! DAY1: I'm the newbie to the forum ,just figuring out this whole blogging thing.lol Anyway the day week before i started taking D ,i was super nervous and working myself up bout taking it, consumed with all the negatives around it and what i've read,and even got anxiety just...

Promised I wouldn't but ended up weighting myself. Pleasant surprise in that I've lost 0.5kg since my last weigh in. I need to be aware that this can't keep happening as otherwise I'd be losing about 0.5kg a day! Ate about the same as yesterday - porridge for lunch, peach for afternoon tea...

i have not blogged for a couple of days because over the weekend I managed to put on some weight. I weighed myself this morning and am 92.9, so the remarkable weight loss of the first couple of days has diminished somewhat. I can only blame it on a lot of alcohol on Saturday night and some at...

Had great night's sleep, did wonder if I would considering I sleep for two hrs yesterday am when I was unwell. Was ravenous for my dinner but then didn't snack but still hungry. The D really helps with cravings. Last night just before bed stood up and felt dizzy, had tiny slice of quiche to get...

Third Day Woke up this morning very hungry! Have realised the splitting headache is because I have twisted my back in Pillates and not a side affect of D. Good news. Last night had restless sleep, got up for bathroom a few times, but it was very hot I slept in kids room with fan on full blast...

I'm 56, 161cm and 90kg. Under active thyroid and had a stent 3 yrs ago. Failed hip op so cant exercise. Body has started to fail me and putting on so much weight. I am as round as i am tall.lol Its only been a hr since taking my first 30mg tablet. Hoping that the sie effects will be low and the...
