Hi All, my names Alli and I am 38yrs old and a mum of two beautiful girls aged 11yrs and 3yrs. I have struggled with my weight on and off for the last 11 years since having my first child via c-section followed by another c-section 8 years later. Im only 5.2' and my starting weight was 82kg (the heaviest and lowest Ive ever been in my life) Alot of my family members struggle with obesity and have since developed thyroid problems both under and overactive, so hence I am taking action now as I do NOT want that for myself. My aim and reasoning behind going on Duromine was my health and my kids, I want to be a mum whom will go swimming with her kids at the beach or in a pool and not be ashamed about her body. I want to see my kids grow up and develop a healthy attitude towards food and health.
After seeing some recent photo's of myself at a family members engagement party I hit rock bottom and had an emotional breakdown, so my doctor suggested Duromine 30mg as I had tried everything else to no avail. I am currently on day 3 and I feel great, I do have a dry mouth and have experienced some insomnia but after going for my morning walk I weighed myself at my mums and I have gone from 82kg - 78.6kg (so Shocked) but I do realise that its most likely water weight atm but thats ok it's still something
. I have my eating plan of 5 small meals a day inc a green smoothie for breakfast, all healthy foods and Ive cut out bread and all other white starchy foods. Im drinking close to 3 litres of water a day and Im incorporating walking and the gym as my exersise (as well as chasing after a very active toddler and housework haha). Anyway I am so glad to have found this forum for support and I promise to keep you all updated with my progress. I will upload a before pic soon!!
Ciao for now xx
