Duromine Day 1

[Dee2017]

Thursday 30th March,

92.9... but im not sure if thats correct as I weighed myself an hr earlier... I will know tomorrow morning

Breakfast was oats with little honey, snack was an apple, 2 cristini sticks half a slice of cheese and a slice of home made fruit cake 2cm x 1, lunch was a almond milk smoothie with ginger, blueberries and vanilla protein, dinner is minestrone soup with lots and lots of veggies lentils barley etc even have purple cabbage cant wait oh a little bacon ... I can only go so long with no veggies and since the weather is a little cooler soup is ideal I will have another tea before bed

Exercises 50 min zumba, 10 on the vibration machine, one..... 40 sec plank 2km on the bike using the higher number 30 fast and 10 slow... l was going to do 2.1km so I could get another 30 in but I struggled so I stopped at 2km, so the last bit of the 2km I did 20 fast not 30 feeling very happy with the increases I even managed to learn 2 steps in zumba that I was struggling with

I hope everyone is doing well

Till tomorrow

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 )

Oh April I hope your right.... 92.5 today surely I can loose 600 gm by Monday BUT I wont get too excited or it wont happen... I just have to be good on the weekend

Ha ha well thats what it was like my brain went into shock I really thought I had put on weight

Yes so true I wont forget .. weighing myself every day will help keep me on track too... I think I like the exercising because it is helping my metabolism and look good besides... Im not getting younger and its really important to move... as they say if you dont use it you loose it I will be keeping some of my fat photos as a memory of what I dont want to 'look like again

ha ha thanks! not only are my fingers crossed.... but you should see me walking with my toes crossed

Friday 31/3
weight 92.5

Well my tea last night worked...

Breakfast was a boiled egg and apple, matcha tea and a pretend coffee with almond milk, lunch was 4 cristini sticks and a almond milk smoothie with half a banana and choc protein, dinner was roast chicken with coleslaw... in a roll gosh it was so good I could have eaten another but I didn't I just picked at a little chicken plus ive had my water

I feel like I am getting a migraine it comes and goes.. so not feeling 100%... I have some crap at work going on so I think that is making my brain go into overdrive... anyway I have done 10 min on the vibration machine and 40min zumba... I will do 4 x 10 pilates... after I finish this as I am going to go to bed with my water

Wishing everyone a great weekend... Till tomorrow

 

[April]

Wohoo!! Glad the tea worked! Now the ball will continue rolling.

High five for not eating that roll! =) Strong woman, way to go!

Sorry about the migraine, hope it goes without coming back. And please, try to not let problems at work make you feel down or put you under stress. If there is something you can change to make it better, then do it. If you can’t, then don’t stress up, it’s not up to you to solve the problem. Stress is a very bad companion to a weight loss progress.


Have a great weekend, too, and hey, be careful with those toes =))))))

What's cracking Team D

Been a bit Mia but I'm back!!

Food was good good good..... but a lil slip on the weekend

Wednesday
Breakie vege fritata
Snack green Texan
Lunch bacon burger no bun (bacon tomatoes beetroot red onion wrapped in lettuce)
Snack banana
Dinner chicken n veggies

Thursday and Friday was pretty much the same except it was porridge for breakie and tuna rice vege combo for lunch and knocked back 6ltrs of water each day. I'm certain that I'm keeping the toilet paper company in business lol

Here comes the weekend

Saturday
Very busy so I didn't really eat. By the time afternoon snack time came I was soooooo hungry. However I managed to limit myself to popcorn boiled eggs and two pieces of bacon

Sunday
Breakie Eggs on toast
Nothing to eat until 2pm - absolutely famished
I had sushi and some of the kids fries ekkkkkkkkk
I tried to make it up by taking them to the park to chase them around

Further to this I thought I would not take my pills in the weekend and wow what a difference. Whilst I wasn't that hungry in the morning I found I was really tired!!! I just thought I would try something different.

Haven't weighed in but will do tomorrow until then..............

Laters Team D. Have an awesome week

 

[April]

Ha!!! I already started writing a message to you, and here you are with some news! Thanks for the update! =)

Ok, ok, slipped a bit, but are ready to go on with healthy eating and exercising – and that’s great! Love the idea of compensating for the extra calories with an active walk in the park with kids.

Did you make it to the swimming pool? If not, leave everything aside and do it! =)) Kidding. Of course, I understand you are a busy person. still, this is what you are doing for yourself, and your kids, and everyone who cares about you. So, if you don’t do something you think is a “very important thing to do about the house” and get into the pool, you will find out that you are packed with forces to do that “thing around the house”, too. Sports always help us be more energetic, and help us manage doing a lot more things. =)

So, you missed 2 days of Duromine, and it’s a new start this week. Wishing you a smooth second entry and hope you will have great results this week, too. =)

A fantastic week to you, too! Cheers!

 

[April]

Hi Supremekerry! How are you feeling? How did the weekend go? Did you manage to get a good sleep? How are your calves? I hope this new week will bring plenty pleasant moments and you will continue going to your goal in large steps. =) Best of luck! Looking forward to your update!

 

[April]

Hey Kyl! It’s another new week here, and I just couldn’t stop myself from dropping in and say hi to you, and wish you wonderful days ahead and more weight loss! All the best!

 

[April]

Sooooo!!!!! 2 weekends and a week ago was the last time we heard from you! Where are you, Mission_75? Is everything ok? Still dieting? Still smashing the gym?


Hope on hearing from you very very soooooon with some news! Take care!

[Dee2017]

Tuesday the 4th April,

surprise 92.5.. who would of thought ... better than a gain so I am not complaining

Breakfast was an egg on toast, snack was a almond pretend coffee and an apple, lunch was 4 cristini sticks some dip and 2 cheese rice crackers, dinner was piece of fish boiled potato and salad I snacked on 4 licorice pieces.

I did 25 min on the vibration machine, 45 min zumba, 4 x 20 pilates exercises and 2 x 5 min of some different ones, 1 x 35 sec plank, I also accomplished another zumba... go me! oh did I mention I have a muscle ha ha

I am deciding if I will have a hot milk drink before bed its been ages since I had one


Till tomorrow

 

[MzJaxon82]

Hiiiii Team D

Had a fabulous day today

Breakie banana and Greek yoghurt
Snack handful of almonds
Lunch salmon salad crepe
No snack
Dinner chicken and corn
3ltrs of water today

So I went to the doctors today (not weight related) and they weighed me and I nearly fell over!!

Weight is 125.1kgs
So another 4kgs gone
Now I'm mindful about that seeing as we have different scales so I'm in two minds about whether it's real or not??? But if it's a loss, I'm definitely going to take the win!!!!

Lacking on the exercise front at the moment but also have my monthly at the mo so feeling bleh but will definitely get back to the pools once it ends! Will attempt to get to gym tomorrow.

Wish me luck!!!!! Have a wonderful day everyone

 

[April]

Khm… 92.5… of course, a lot better than a gain. You’re right, Dee! Yet you might need to use some simple tricks to trigger further weight loss results? What do you think? You already know the tricks. Either you up your calorie consumption for a day, or eat a lot less, and continue for the rest of the days as usual. Looks like your body feels extremely comfortable the way it is now and is not willing to give up that easily. Besides, you have that muscle =)) so that also might be the reason you keep seeing the same numbers on your scales for such a long time, i.e. you lose the fat and gain the muscle. Still, if there is any possibility to have one day up or down in calories, you might try it. It might work. And don’t forget to drink that tea!!!

Keep it up and yes, go you! No stop till you drop the unwanted kgs. =) You’re doing great and going fantastic! 13 kg down - that's a huge result!!! Take care!

 

[April]

Hey there, fabulous lady! Fingers crossed for those scales to be showing the real weight! You just have to use the same you used before to make sure the readings are correct. But being super-happy and motivated is something no one can forbid you! =)


Ok, I’ll be waiting for your news about the pool and so looking forward to hear that you did manage to get into the gym! =)) Working harder day by day. =) I am sure you will succeed in all this idea. You have a good menu that doesn’t seem to lack any food group, so you eat healthy and you will be able to maintain the same eating regime once you’re off Duromine. And that’s fantastic!

Hope you feel better soon and, of course, BEST OF LUCK to you!!!! Have a great day, too!
