So It has been an interesting 7 weeks so far..
Decided on Saturday Morning {as it is day 1 of week 8 for me } to NOT take D for week 8 ..Sunday Morning ,went to church, weird not taking D first thing when I got out of bed, USUALLY have to take a bottle of water with me into church, did not sip once on my water , which was weird for me too..

Had lunch with the family , then said I was going to go lie down for 20min as I could not keep my eyes open, another first for me after 7 weeks, lol ..
I woke up 4HOURS later, feeling amazing, hubby said you looked so peaceful I could not wake you up .. So glad he didn't. and even though I slept so many hours that afternoon, I could not wait to go to bed at 10pm last night , so it really has been a game change, I did not even have dinner ,just a cup of tea.
Today Monday, WOKE UP with a dry mouth, and well rested, had coffee and thyroid meds, no D, and I am setting up a menu plan with 1400 calories for the week and 45 min to 1 hour exercise, 5x this week..I need to see for myself if it is the to little calories or to little sleep I was getting when I was on D,as I have a funny feeling the sleep deprivation is causing me to lose such a little weight every week, no matter if I eat 1200 0r 1000 calories and exercise 35-40 min 3X to 5x a week, nothing is changing for me .. Will keep you posted regardless what the outcome is .. HAVE A SUPER WEEK EVERYONE, STAY STRONG AND BE POSITIVE, AND AIM FOR YOUR GOAL !!!...

It could be your meds too that can cause you to lose weight slowly , but you can try this week and see if yiu see a difference when you dont use Duromine. And of course we need at least 8 hrs of sleep i dont get that much either, my bubs keeps me up most nights he is teething so you can imagine. But keep positve its going to be alright ,i hope you will find your way to weightloss you only can count on yourself. Have a wonderful start this Monday Morning. Good Luck keep going.

run down on my week 8 so far
Day 1, no D , exercised 40 minutes hills and rowing, ate 1000 calories .. still have effects of D in my body, dry mouth, and not much appetite ..
Day 2, no D, exercised 40 min , hills only , ate 1200 calories , still have dry mouth and little more hungry than usual ..
Day 3, no D, sleeping like a newborn baby every night now, in bed by 9:30 !!! ,no dry mouth ,my body seems to have weaned out all of the D, but now I actually have an appetite and can TASTE all my food again, was not aware that I had lost some of my taste when on D ..eating all my food and snacks, THAT IS A FIRST ..

Day 4, no D... so TIRED , AND FATIGUED!!! suddenly MY BODY KNOWS it is off of D now, sleeping so well, dead to the world hahah, but waking up like the good old days of not being on D , physically tired and not able to get out of bed with a hop skip and jump anymore ..Cut the grass raked some leaves, and I was exhausted, could not even do my 4o min treadmill workout today :( ...ATE A good brekkie and lunch and dinner, slept well
Day 5 {Today}, no D, NOT thirsty , but drinking, and eating brekkie early still , not feeling as tired as yesterday, maybe a day of rest and no exercise was a good thing ? ... about to head over to the treadmill an rower today, as yesterday was the first time I ate MORE than 1200 calories , enjoying my food so much now ,because I can taste it again , hahaha.. going to try , more greens and fish ,and smoothies ,today and thursday and friday, weigh in friday, and will see if being without D ,has payed off weight wise ,and cm wise .. MAY the rest of your week keep showing gr8 results for you all ...
