Hey guys!
So I am 22, 154cm and 94.7kgs and have just started taking Duromine 30mg yesterday. I was on it a few years ago for a month or so, lost about 15 kilos but put it all back on due to partying and bad eating habits. I also have a hyper thyroid condition although I hadn't been taking my medication for that and have just started meds for that again yesterday. My goal is to lose 30kgs.
I'm not joined up to a gym but I do have some workout videos and some equipment at home as well. I haven't done any exercise yet as I'm lacking motivation to actually get off my butt once I get home from work.
I took my tablet at about 6am yesterday and felt quite jittery around 7-8am. I had a dry mouth all day so drank about 2 litres of water easily but that was good as I don't drink enough water anyway. I wasn't kept up late however, I did wake up at 4am and stayed awake for an hour so that wasn't too good but that may have nothing to do with the medication as I tend to do too much thinking at night time when I should be sleeping!
Today I took the tablet around the same time and did not feel jittery. My mouth wasn't too dry and I found I only drank 1 litre of water today.
As for eating, the doctor gave me a pack with recipes, a diary and calorie book. It also has a link to the Living Lite website (livingliteprogram.com.au). Is anyone else following this program? I'm not counting calories yet as I don't really like to. I don't want to be counting every single thing I am eating, that cannot be good for your mind (each to their own opinion). I don't want to take shakes or do any crazy diet. It needs to be simple and actual food. So far this Living Lite program is good although the lowest calorie meal plan they have available is 1500 calories per day. I feel like this is too many calories for someone trying to lose so much weight. How many calories are you having per day?
I haven't really been feeling any different in regards to hunger as the Living Lite program has up to 6 meals. I didn't have the dessert yesterday (fruche) and I didn't have the afternoon snack today (raisin toast) as I am not used to having so much food.
I'm thinking about leaving the weigh in for at least 2 weeks so that I don't obsess over the scales day in day out. I'm an obsessive person so that and calorie counting, I'm gonna try stay away from for now.
I haven't had any other side effects so far but will check back in with you guys in the next few days. Feel free to leave me some advice/opinions/comments, etc. All will be appreciated!
