Fuck christmas

ugh!
I was 6 months post duromine with a total loss of 48kgs.
Then Christmas happened (I'm trying to shift the blame on a holidays rather than myself lol)
Since November Ive put on 10kgs!!! When I saw that I almost died!
Ironically me and my boyfriend had been at Kmart a week or two before and I couldn't fit into anything sized 18-20 and was saying shit like "typical, Kmart gets popular and now they are making their sizes smaller".. (insert humiliation)
Has anyone ever been in that situation where you blame a store or corporation before it ever occurs to you that you just got fat again? Haha god!
Or why my bras have been so irritating on that fat that just wont quit, under my arm.
And still all this and I never thought I'd put on weight.
Soooo, back on duromine 40mgs which I still have no problems at all getting as I'm still heavily tipping the industrial scale at 119kgs.
So yes, Christmas came, then time off work, then hungry jacks, then McDonald's, a bit of KFC and a more bread than you have seen in your life.
BUT! just goes to show you do have to keep checking your weight because it creeps up on you and you slowly and subconsciously start wearing your looser clothes, all the while never twigging on to the fact that your putting weight on, so holidays are officially over and I'm back to counting calories, treadmill everyday and putting that bikini body back on my dream board in my head
DONT GET FAT, GET EVEN! (With the scales)
Gonna go eat a carrot, bye
Enjoy a pixilated body shot from a distance from my birthday in December haha I'm in the middle. Surprisingly enough this is the first birthday I've had as an adult where I don't look crazy "stare at in the street" fat and even though I put 10kgs back on I'm still so pleased with myse

Hey girl!
Wow, you have done an AMAZING job of losing close to 50kgs!!! That's so impressive! I've just started using Duromine 4 days ago, and it gives me hope that I can lose the 30kgs I want to get rid of!
How long did you use it before stopping it the first time around?
Hope to hear from you!
Amy :)

Thankyou! I used it for 3 month gaps. Then had a break of about 2-3 months then I'd start another round of 3 months. All up Ive had probably 12 scripts for duromine over the last 2 years. My dr was hesitant to re prescribe but I I was so heavy the side effects sort of were irrelevant as I'd probably suffer them without duromine lol.

By the third month weight loss slows down, take a break then when you go back in it falls off

You look great Laura! I've just started my own journey this week and hoping I have such impressive results as you! You mention you hit the treadmill every day - is that something you did from the beginning or grew into? My weight is currently affecting my ability to run so I'm hoping that once the weight comes off I will be able to get into a similar exercise regime.

I am still to heavy to run, the best excersise advice I can give is use one of those bmi calculators to work out what your ideal heart rate should be during excersise for weight loss (mine is 160-175) and I can achieve that by a steady walking pace. I don't bother to push myself further that that as It would be unnecessary. Pushing harder will just make you hate excersise so find out your ideal heart rate for your body and aim for it and sit just above it.

I hit the treadmill in the beginning months, slowly got lazy and the weight stopped coming off. Now I'm back on duromine and using the treadmill everyday and weight is consistently coming off. To me, duromine is an utter waste of money if your not excersise get regularly, I learnt that the hard way

Laura, there’s not much I can add to your message, because the best experience is always the experience you get with your own mistakes. I love it that you are doing your best to work out as much as you can while on Duromine. Your description is quite right – if you don’t exercise while on Duromine, you won’t get so far.

All the best to you, Laura! Hope that “Christmas weight” vanishes in a flash! =))))

You are amazing. Keep up the good work.
