Duromine Day 1

[AllyM]

Sorry I haven't had time to post updates. I'm working full time, doing a business management course and now packing to move house next week.
Day 14
Just a quick stats update:
Eating very well, drinking lots of water. Hot yoga 3x per week and work outs in between.
SW: 83.5kg
CW: 78 kg (yesterday AM)
GW: 62kg
I took a 3 day hiatus from Duromine as the heart palpitations on Thursday night freaked me out. Still continued to eat properly, however my energy levels plummeted drastically. Back on Duromine today but reduced back to 15mgs.

Hi AllyM! It’s ok for not writing, we all understand. And YOUR busy life at present makes me wonder how you even managed to find time to write today. =) Thank you very much for sharing!
I have to say that I am amazed with the results and everything you do! 5.5 kg down in just two weeks! CONGRATULATIONS!

Sorry about the heart palpitations and another applause to you for controlling so well your condition and Duromine dose. Very clever! Hope, you won’t have any problems from now on and will continue moving forward with the same great pace!

Hot yoga 3 times a week… you’re my HERO!!! Have a great week and easy packing! Cheers!

Hi sweetie! I am so happy I didn’t miss the happy moment! =)) Amm.. I know that you will hit that new mini-goal. Oh Easter will be a challenge to all of us… Getting down to 91 by then will be a huge achievement and I am sure you will be already on the 90 mark (crossing myself entirely. Not just the fingers). That would be a fantastic present for yourself from yourself AND a great motive to not break into some huge indulgence. =))

Well done with exercising and eating. So sorry you had stomach problems. And still, you didn’t give up and continued going to your goal. BRAVO and applause!

Looking forward to your next update and wish you a great new week!

Hi April it will an extra challenge now as 93 doesn't want to go But I will get there!!

Yes not sure why I had the stomach issues... but it only lasted a few hours on and off and not a full day otherwise i would not have been able too exercise

I hope your having a great day

 

[Dee2017]

I've just caught up on everything and WOW ur doing so well. The last time I read your thread you were dancing with soup cans and now ur doing Zumba, well done.

91 will come soon enough, it doesn't seem like that long ago I was reading 96? Seriously well done.

Hey... I will need to pop over and see how you are going... yep and I am loving zumba...

Thank you

 

[Dee2017]

Hi Everyone,

Well 93 has decided to stay an extra day! weight is 93

Breakfast was cereal and a pretend coffee, snacks were an apple, 3 cristini sticks and half a slice of cheese lunch was a smoothie with peanuts, blueberries, yogurt, chia and vanilla protein plus almond milk , dinner was ham plus salad. I will be having a tea before bed... just to get things moving

Exercise I did 35 min zumba, 1 x 35 sec plank, 10 on the vibration machine and 4 x 20 on the pilates

Oh I found a smaller pair or work pants (looks like all the other smaller ones are packed away so thats another job for another day) the others were falling down and I was starting to roll them up around my waist... when I went into work one of the ladies said I think its time you get a new wardrobe your clothes are hanging off you... I said I have!.... these pants are smaller... the legs are wide but they fit around my waist... Im still wearing my big shirts... but they are comfy plus the weather has been warm so its ideal when the weather cools i will go back to tighter wearing clothes but it was so nice to be told my clothes look too big for me

Till tomorrow

 

[MzJaxon82]

What's good team

May I join your В tem, MzJaxon82?

Wow! I mean wow, the fact that you stay so strong during the weekend, being at the mall and avoiding the junk food, brings you some applause! I know how hard it is to break your habits, especially when temptations are everywhere. And I admire your 7 km walk, are you kidding me?? It's a LOT! Bravo! I read all your updates, dear, and you do great. Thanks for sharing!

thanks for the vote of confidence Kate. Definitely appreciate any and all the support!!!!

 

[MzJaxon82]

What's good team D

Busy busy busy day. But so much energy!! Loving it ❤️

Breakie porridge and banana
Snack lots of water
Lunch tuna corn 4 cherry tomatoes
Snack peach (wasted my snack on that, it was bland and dry)
Dinner grilled chicken and mushrooms
4ltrs of water
No exercise today so better get to the pools tomorrow

I'm definitely loving this journey so far. I'm guessing the 4kgs was water retention but hey I'm going to take that small win. Step by step I'm going to get to 10kgs which I decided is going to be my small goal

Watch this space world cause I'm coming

Have a super duper day

 

[April]

Dee!!! You’re a star! =) it is often so hard for ladies to squeeze out a compliment… And this, my dear, is a great proof that you DID LOSE WEIGHT!!!! “I still have my fat days were I think.....have I really lost that weight doesn't look like it…” remember, who said that? Do you realize that such days should never happen again, my dear? =)


Can’t wait for your first massive shopping with your new body. That is going to be something you will LOVE! I remember mine… I was convincing the shop assistant that I need jeans 2 sizes larger, and she kept trying to give me my size. I felt like yelling at her at a certain moment “why on earth does she argue with me? I know better!” but I said “Fine! I will put these on. If they rip, I am not paying.” Well, needless to say, I paid for those, and another pair, and a couple of T-shirts MY SIZE.

Are you planning to find your smaller work pants this weekend? I am sure it will be interesting to try those on.

Good luck to you, and may those nasty 93 finally give way to 92! (hope the tea works )

 

[April]

Heeey there, the magnificent Road Runner! Your messages are so full with energy that It feels as if I just had a couple of red bulls. =0)) Definitely the pool tomorrow!!!

these are the exercises I love doing in the pool! Hope you will enjoy them! =))


A super duper day to you too!!! Cheers!

 

[Dee2017]

That is very true.... ha ha I wonder who that was

Oh yes.... I have so many over sized shirts... but I also kept all my smaller tee shirts It will be interesting as my sister is coming over for easter with my brother in laws parents... none of them know about my loss only my mum and an uncle and auntie that saw me a few weeks back.. so I am looking for something tight fitting for the day .. surprise LOL

The pair that I found are smaller by one size. they fit my waist. but with a long shirt she probably thought l had the same pants on.... I have also found another pair in the back room they are also a smaller size .... all the other ones are packed away... I know where I just have to get to them so the thought of that makes me say those 2 pairs might do LOL

Those darn 93's dont want to go... arhhhhhh go away I say.... go away...

So.... guess who has lost 16 cm off there waist. Yup me! Il show those scales for not showing me a loss... the measuring tape did

No my tea didn't really work ... I have another tea so I might try that one tonight.... I will also be having oats for breakfast tommorow

 

[April]

=)) You have to do something about that tea… I think that’s the reason you can’t get rid of 93. Everything’s stuck! Just like that… hope another tea works.


16 cm!!!!!!!! My hero! Of course, you had to roll up those pants you had before. =) getting back to old clothes is so nice… makes you wanna dance and keep enjoying your reflection.


I think your sister and her family will be astonished with the way they see you. =)) did you ever watch any of those shows where they make people lose some weight and then proceed with some plastic surgery all over their body/face, and then they come back and everyone sees them, and they all or WOOOW!!! I think, it’s goona be the same with you =)) just make sure you get the outfits that looks the best on you, make their jaws drop to the floor! =)) oh, I am so happy for you and everything you managed to achieve by now! You’re so strong and purposeful, Dee! Never forget that! Cheers!

Hi April, I think your right too.... so im waiting on my tea to kick in funny enough i was a little lighter this morning 92.9 I went back to bed after taking my tablet as I am home today then 3 hrs later I thought I would weigh myself again.. not sure why as I know the time of day changes your weight and I was 400 gm lighter... needless to say as much as I would love to say that's my weight I know its not a true reflection... then again I did weigh myself at 4 this morning? that's an 1hr earlier than normal... doesn't really matter as Monday is my official weigh in day and I know I am doing all the right things... .. they say patience is a virtue so maybe tomorrow morning I will get my reward with a nice looking 92 something

The really weird thing is I jumped on the scales and I felt like I was in the wrong kilo as in 90 range was overweight for me (hmm that must be a premonition... look out 80's Im on my way) I was like that cant be I couldn't have put on that weight I jumped off jumped back on and said to myself you idiot.... LOL

Yes I was really pleased especially when I held 8cm on one side WOW... ive also lost 10cm on my hips, 6cm under the breast, 5cm on each leg and 4cm on my arms I tried to make sure I measure the same parts each time... so I picked the widest area on the leg etc to measure its taken awhile to see that drop ha I just realised I brought a dress online awhile back (takes weeks for them to come from overseas sometimes) anyway silly me didn't look at measurements Ive ordered 3xl or 4xl before but when I looked at the waist measurements after I ordered the 4xl it was 98cm I thought bugga no way will that fit I need a mini me for that dress... but who knows I may just be able to wear that at easter if its not too cold

Ha... yes Ive watched some of those shows for inspiration they work so hard with such determination I had less weight than them. When I started doing exercises, being motivated was hard at times so I would say if they can do it so can I and I am proud to say I have... I am feeling more and more confident that all these exercises will be a part of my life from now on...

Thanks April... I better go shake my booty and see if I can get this tea to work LOL

Till later have a great day/night

 

[April]

Aha! So your scales are also exhausted from showing the same numbers.. they also want to see you smiling as you reach 92. =)) I got a feeling that you will be about 91.8 by Monday… just a premonition =0))

Yet, your premonition is way better!! Ahaha!!! Just imagining your emotions… like “what the hell? When did I manage to put that much on? ” Hilarious! AND it’s a proper thinking! You know where you want to be, and that’s where you’re going.

Fingers crossed for that dress to fit just perfectly! And a nice hairstyle and some fresh-looking makeup… they won’t recognize you. =) I am sure your eyes are sparkling even brighter now. And I am sure your head is higher than it used to be. The confidence you feel is something irreplaceable. Treasure it and never forget what you had to go through.

You know, I also think you will keep exercising. You got the taste of it and I see you like it. Being active always gives you more energy and great mood, that’s, of course, besides a fit body. =)

Take care! (fingers crossed here.. almost tied in a knot )
