All going well. I've lost 1.6kg this week. Although I think I've lost a bit of cm as well. I'm not measuring myself because I don't want to be obsessed about it. I already jump on the scales every morning. I had to tighten my bra straps today and I look maybe 5 months pregnant instead of 7 months. That's more than good enough for me.

I only slept about 3 hours per night for the first 3 days. Now I am sleeping normally again.
My dry throat lasted about 3 days also. I now only have a slightly dry mouth but it reminds me to drink water.
I had a huge amount of energy the first 2 days but this has worn off and now I just feel normal.
I didn't have an appetite at all for 3 days. I now find myself getting hungry but can only eat small meals.
Also I was sweating a little the first 4 days but that has also stopped now.
I've not had any other symptoms.

I've not been doing a lot of excercise. I have managed to walk the dogs 4 days this week & I have a very physical job. This I'm hoping to change my Monday when my daughter goes back to school. I'll have some more free time to exercise.

I was eating well before I started and I have remained eating well. My problem was on the weekends I would start snacking on chips and lollies. I was able to not do that this weekend. I've uped my water intake (from 0 to 2L per day) and reduced my coffee ( from 8 to 2 per day) Which I now have without sugar. I have noticed some foods taste a little different to me now. Such as strawberries, I had 6 strawberries as a snack the other day and they tasted like someone poured sugar on them. My partner cooked Some meat on the BBQ and I was going to have a small steak and salad but I didn't like the taste of the meat so I had 2 eggs on toast instead. I'm finding this very strange. Has anyone else had they're tastes change?

Anyway it's now week 2, lets see what happens this week!

Emma, you’re doing great and I am so happy that the side effects don’t bother you anymore! You’re lucky! =) Fingers crossed you introduce a new exercising routine once you have time. Until then, you might talk your daughter into exercising together, I mean the fun stuff, like Zumba and similar. My girls love this time together. We fool around and laugh a lot, and the trainings go fast and entertaining. =)

As for the taste changes… I started feeling SALT in the food. I was staying away from sugar already for quite some time before Duromine, but the salt… even a fresh cucumber that I just picked seemed salty for me. but this ended by week 3.

Applause on reducing the coffee intake! Wow! From 8 to 2… and no sugar in it! You go! Have an amazingly rewarding week 2!
