Duromine Day 1

[Mission_75]

Whoooohooo Day 5 done and dusted!

All in all a successful day
Had 3.5L of water and slept much better....did a 30 min fast walk.

Breakfast was banana/bluberry/maca root powder/almond milk smoothies

Snack : 10 almonds and 10 cashews and a tub of low fat yoghurt

Lunch : chicken avocado salad...might have over done it with some thick mayo dressing...

Having the same salad for supper, only won't have dressing now.

Preparing beets for my veg and lentils for tomorrow's meals...can't wait!

Happy dieting!

Hey! Well done! 45 minutes of cardio is certainly a good thing! =)

Again, your menu… great! Well done! Hope you’ll have a good night’s sleep. Have a great new day and even higher achievements! =0))

Thanx April you are the best

 

[Kate]

Great news! You slept better, congrats! I am very happy to hear that.

Again, what a great diet plan, Mission_75! Anytime I read your post, it makes my mouth water
Speaking of mayo dressing, try maybe to blend some extra vergine olive oil (like one tablspoon) with lemon juice and a tiny little bit of mustard, sugar and salt separately and then mix with the salad. Tastes almost like mayo, but contains less calories if you are worried about that. And suits the chicken salads best. I'm not sure how greek yogurt combines with chicken and avocado, but who knows, maybe this would be tasty too.
Hugs!

Wooohooo. It’s going down!! =) Well done!!! Ah, heeeey! You didn’t write anything about your water. =0)) I am so used to this “and my water” already that I couldn’t figure what I don’t like about your menu. =))

Going great, Dee! How about upping plank by 5 sec? small challenge… OR… choose any of the exercises in the video and add it (5 sec, as well. Don’t push. Just make other muscles work)… the one you can do without your back aching. (I like the side plank… wonder which you will choose).

Btw, did you visit your doctor about your back?

=)) did you get any new piece of clothes? At least a simple T-shirt, something… new workout clothes? No, socks won’t do… =)) can’t say I am a shopaholic, yet I did rush to the store during the entire weight loss process. Once I was getting to any significant weight loss, I would get something that fits the body tight – to note how smaller I managed to become and to see that I should not stop, that perfection still requires work. =)) (that’s to your phrase about not realizing you lost so much weight)

Keep up the great mood and a lovely tomorrow morning to you!

ha ha... would you believe i noticed I didnt have water and thought i better put that in and then still forgot

Well i struggled to get to 20... but i also just did my arms one on the pilates... I managed 35 thou next time I wont do the plank after doing the pilates.... I will see how I go with the other ones wont know till I try

Yes im booked in for the late April to see the specialist... so I will just keep listening to my body in the meantime... I had acupuncture yesterday... I cant stand the needles going in but once they are I feel so much better she noticed straight away that I had lost weight and when I went to pay the receptionist said you are looking good....

I have a few firmer pieces of clothing.... cant wear my bra anymore but i have plenty of others that I haven't worn in ages/years I will look for my other work pants and see how they look as the others are getting a little big YAY!!! I actually just brought a new pair of work out pants and new runners

Wishing you a great day!

Sigh!...Day 6

Where to start ?....bad day!...

Have terrible period pains and had stressful day at work!
Took only 2L of water today :-(
Did no exercise. ...took my rest day.

Breakfast was berries and yoghurt
Snack 3 passion fruits with mix of nuts....100 g ( which is a lot! :-( )
Got too busy then didn't have lunch
Supper was a beet/lentil salad

Then I ravaged through half a large papaya and yoghurt...AFTER supper!!!! :-(

I am so terrified for tomorrow's weigh in. You guys Duromine is my last resort. ..I have been on every diet on the planet and can't seem to lose weight...I am worried I won't have moved a single kilogram on the scale tomorrow as usual!...I'm tearing up just thinking of not losing anything tomorrow...

 

[supremekerry]

Day 1 - 30mg Duromine today 24/3/17. I have a massive BMI of 46.9. I have had a bit of a look and haven't seen anyone as big as me commenting here I'm going to give it a good try. Had the first tablet 7am and by 9am I felt great! Fingers crossed this lasts. I'm off to take the dog for a walk

Hey! Don’t get discouraged so soon. I know it all about the bad days, and I can totally understand how horrible period pains can be. It is good that you had a relaxing day, without exercising, if it was that bad. Otherwise, you might have not just the papaya (which is almost 100% sugar-free, so it’s fine) and yogurt, but a whole fridge of something totally not promoting weight loss. It’s ok, it’s fine… this was the day when you filled your body quite a lot of useful fats, minerals and vitamins (3 passion fruit and A LOT of nuts), and fiber. Make today a more protein day to compensate yesterday. And please, be careful with the nuts. They are delicious and are extremely useful, yet they are the same high in calories, as they are rich in useful elements.

As for the weight loss.. are you kidding? You’re in the worst time of month for having the first weigh in. don’t let the scales discourage you, if they don’t show any weight loss. It won’t be an accurate result. Your task is to focus, forget about anything you might have slipped on these days (like mayo and avocado – that’s super heavy. Avocado is already rich in fats, and we should start building the “anti-processed foods” habit right now). So, avocado stays, and the mayo has to go… wave it goodbye at least for two weeks. Then, if you crave for it too much, you can have it with a meal. Though, I am sure that in 2 weeks you won’t desire mayo anymore. =)

Take good care of your mental state and smile to yourself every time you see yourself in the mirror. You are changing your life for better, and it’s one of the best thing in the world that we can do for ourselves and our close people. Cheers!

Oh wow! I almost missed the great news approaching! Need to get the drum sticks and start the drum-roll…. And the pressure is on! =)) Yes, of course, we all know that she will do it, and still, the suspense… next day or the day after tomorrow… these 93 almost sneaked up, and you’re the only one who knows how much you worked to see these numbers.

You’re doing it so great, Dee! And please, don’t forget your water again =))

See, I knew you are about to be hit with a waterfall of compliments. =) it’s so great when someone says: wow, you look so great, did you lose weight. And you give your best and proudest smile and say “YES I Did! Thank you!” and you can almost feel how you spread your shoulders and make a straight back and fly away like a butterfly from flower to flower. =0)) At least, that’s the way it was happening with me.


Well done on the new work out pants and runners. High five! Never forget to award yourself for the achievements! Ok… I keep drum-rolling, and you have a great weekend with wonderful news! Cheers

Every time, I mean every time your updates put a huge smile of content on my face! You go just great! That’s an awesome process you have developed and I am sure the progress will make you happy and satisfied.

It would be good if you would make all basic measurements, and not just the waist. Seeing other places (even the neck) getting slimmer will also make you happy, trust me! =))

Wonder what you will have during the weekend, and if you will enjoy more pool exercises. Btw, there are some good routines on youtube for exercises in water that can help you work through all of your body. And they are quite enjoyable, and even fun. If you don’t/can’t/ have no time to search for these, and are willing to try it, just tell me and I will post the ones I prefer. =) Cheers and keep it going!!!

AAAAAA!!!! Woop woop!!! What a great day it is today! Keep watching people achieving wonderful results! More than happy for you! Very well done! Congratulations with your first-week weight loss, and may the second week bring you lots of joy, too. (Just remember, 1st week’s weight loss is usually the loss of retained water+fat, and now you’re into losing just fat and gaining muscles, too)

diet sounds really healthy! Well done… just make your afternoon snack cottage cheese. Yes, quinoa is also rich in protein, yet not as much, as you might need.

Have a good workout in the gym and enjoy the rest of your day. First results – such a huge motivation to work even harder! Best of luck!
