How do you feel now? I didn't really get energized either. I'm on day 5 and still suffer from the driest mouth! I did however lose 300gm in 3 days but I won't weigh myself till this Wednesday. Hope.it helps hun. Good luck xx
 
Hiya! I'm new to this forum too but welcome anyway ;) Yuss to expensive! Cost $85 here. I only got my 1st month to start with in case I can't cope and waste all my money. So far so good nothing too major... Hope all goes well for you too on your journey with duromine :)
 
Hi Lelz, good luck on your weight loss journey! I have PCOS as well. So my weight has always been a struggle. I paid over $120 for my 30mg in SA. It is expensive but I see it as a small price to pay to stop me eating everything in sight. Keep in touch :)
 
Hello there, dear! How are you, Dee? Is everything ok? You’ve been quite silent for some time… well, I admit, I also have.. however, I was hoping on finding some news from you, when I am back. And again not a word. =(( Are you doing well?

So... today is day one on Duromine 30mg. I took it at 7:30 and I'm not really energized like the doctor said... but I've pee'd twice in 1.5 hours... lol

I haven't done measurements (will try later) but starting weight is 129.7kg... rarely exercise (due to low energy and insulin resistance - but Metformin takes care of my sugar) and a healthy dose of PCOS there too... lol No kids... just a lovely hubby and some birds

Let's see how I go!

So glad I found this forum! But man, Duromine is expensive in Australia! $100 for 30 days worth...!

Note to self, eat something with your Duromine tablet... lol


Hello Lelz! How are you doing today? Still going? Any positive results? Any changes in your habits? Best of luck!
 
Hey everyone! Thanks so much for your support, I truly appreciate it.
How am I going? Well, I read of a way to do it with taking it one day on and one off. Plus doing the 5:2 diet also.

Duromine: made me have loads of energy but once my body got used to it side effects settled down, except for I was a tad snappy and grumpy... I slept fine though.. except for waking at 5am...Not sure if this was because I was close to that time of the month either...

5:2:
** Monday (fast - from 7pm the night before to 7pm the next night - 24 hours I drink water and eat less than 500 calories)
** Tuesday: normal day but make sure I don't eat too much
** Wednesday (fast day the same as Monday)
** Thursday; normal day - small portions
** Friday: normal day
** Weekend: smaller portions of what i normally eat

So, yeah, it was... interesting....

Weight loss: lost 2.5kgs in a week to 10 days - so I can't complain really...

Thanks again for so much support. Xxx

Is it possible that the energizer bunny ran out of all that energy? I don’t believe it! You were going so great. Wish you a great day and hope on hearing from you soon!
 
Welcome i feel so motivated by your story. I was thinking that you cant lose weight just by a pill. But it has given me so much energy and ive been to the gym twice now. Keep up the amazing job.
 
Morning all,

I took my first tablet this morning at 6am- it's now 8:45am....haven't felt any jitters or any extra energy. I felt more when I took pre workout yesterday haha. Went for a run but had less energy than expected (only slept 4 hours due to the pre work out) so I'm putting it down to that. Keen to get started. Anyway I'm on the 30mg. Just wanted to say hi. :) off to work I go. Oh & if anyone's wondering, no, I won't be taking pre workout while on duromine.

H- 168cm
CW- 73.5kg
GW1- 67kg
FGW- 63kg
 
Okies so it's now getting close to 2pm. I've been feeling good so far, drinking a lot of water, peeing a lot ha, I went for a quick walk in my lunch break. I was so worried this morning that I'd be all shakey & scattered but i just feel awake & alert. If I'm not feeling jittery does that mean the duromine isn't strong enough? :-/
For breakfast (before pill) some muesli & Greek yoghurt, a glass of lemon water
For lunch, large apple & mandarin, a glass of lemon water.

I've decided if I start getting moody in the evening I'll just pop my head phones in & get on the treadmill!
 
Hello Sunshines! Best of luck to you on your Duromine journey! Hope you won’t have any side effects at all. =) No, not feeling jittery does not mean that Duromine is not working. It’s a side effect and not every person gets it. In fact, there are people who get no side effects at all, while the appetite suppression works as great as it should.

Mmmm… did you eat anything else today? Large apple and mandarin sound a little bit TOO LITTLE for lunch… if you are planning on having a heavier meal in the evening, try to somehow switch these two between them. Better have a heavier meal for lunch and something lighter for the evening, and split apple and mandarin for two snacks between the main meals. =)

Remember, you should not undereat. Besides, I see you like to move a lot. If you get into some more serious trainings, you will need to consume more healthy food to make up for the daily caloric value your body needs to function properly.

Best of luck and I love the idea of beating the moody condition. =)) High five!
 
Hi April! (Gee you're a busy lady!)
Yes I ended up having a tuna salad wrap as well, the fruit I ate while walking!
For tea I had salmon & steamed veg. I haven't had any mood swings yet I just feel happy/positive. I've been so miserable of late with my weight....I put off trying to get duromine because I honestly didn't think I'd be given it.
Anyway I've started now, it's not as scary as I thought. No jitters or headaches...I have had a dry mouth though but just kept drinking water.
Do you yourself use duromine? What is your story? :)
Thank you for replying. I won't be weighing in until Saturday (I'm going to TRY not to anyway ha ha)
 
Morning all,
So first day/night done & dusted. According to my Fitbit I slept for just under 6 hours- normally sleep for 6.5 hrs so not too bad. I'm awake (really awake) but not feeling energetic. All side effects (apart from a dry mouth) thus far have eluded me.
I've just taken my second pill. Let the day commence. :)
Really hoping for some sort of a loss on Saturday!
 
Hey hey! Sounds like you’re doing really fine! Love the mood! Keep it up. I will keep my fingers crossed for a good loss on Saturday (I wonder if you manage to stay away from scales till then =)), and you will have to do anything possible to achieve it! You know what you should do, so don’t waste any time…


As for me… I already wrote my story once on this forum, if you don’t mind, I will copy-paste it. (I am a talkative person and sometimes my messages are just too long, and so is the story, so I apologize beforehand for that).


My story is I gave birth to my first daughter when I was 23. I gained 13 kilos then, and managed to lose 9 within a year after giving birth, so it was +4 and in the next year I gained 3 more. So, by the time I got pregnant for the second time 2 years later, I was 7-8 kilos heavier than my perfect weight (58-60 kilos, height 168. Heavy bones =))) but I look my best at 60 kg). During the second pregnancy, I gained a horrible amount of kilos – 20. I had back issues, so wasn’t really moving that much, had enough things to do with the younger daughter and house chores. So the weight I came home with, when giving birth for the second time, was 86 kg. 5 kilos built up during the year after birth, because the back was still giving me pain, and my younger girl slept soooo badly. I was literally falling from tiredness. Of course, where was I supposed to take the energy from? Right – the food. I realized what I did to myself when we were invited to a friend’s birthday party and I could not fit into anything I had, nor could I find any clothes that would look nice on me. I got on scales… and cried 3 days in a row. I just couldn’t stop crying. I was seriously depressed… both because of realizing how much I gained without noticing and, of course, the constant tiredness. 6 months I lived in a crazy house. Then, all of a sudden my precious girl started sleeping the whole night long. The first night I slept without waking up was, probably the best thing for me back then. It took me a month to get back to normal condition and start thinking of a good weight loss plan. Of course, the “best idea” was to try a diet, then another, and another. 6 months later my weight was the same. Again, the idea of developing a good weight loss plan came to me, and I started searching, gathering information, visiting some seminars. I knew I couldn’t resist the temptations, so I asked my doctor for Duromine. It was a three months course + dieting + exercising. One year later, I got to my initial weight and I am maintaining it up till now, for 5 years already.



A great day to you, Sunshines, with healthy eating choices and more physical activity!

Oh cool, you're the same height as me! My lowest weight (as an adult) was 63kg & I remember going to get a spray tan & the lady asked me what week of training I was in (at the time I was on leave from basic training) I was thinking "how does she know I'm army?!" I must of looked stunned because she continued "what's your body fat % at? Who are you entering with?" Lmao she thought I was entering the fitness model comp thing you know the ones where they come out all tanned in a bikini hahaha best compliment ever! I loved myself sick at that weight....although my family kept commenting that I looked like a bratz doll! (Big head, little body)
I'm glad you're doing so well! Did you create this website? I just stumbled across it but really don't know much about it ha ha.
I'm off to get ready for work. Have a wonderful day.
Still no side effects & the dry mouths pretty much gone (or I'm used to it) not feeling this energy everyone talks about but I'm definitely awake!! :)
I'm doing my best to stay away from the scales, I've hid them in the top cupboard so I need the step ladder to reach ha ha
 
Oh wow! I can only imagine how proud you felt when you realized you looked like a professional fitness model. You know where you want to be, and you know how happy you will be at this weight. Focus on this thought, on this story… every time you want to do something that might interfere with your weight loss. =)

No, I did not create this website. In fact, I’ve been around not so long. I was just invited here some months ago and I am trying to give my best and help those, who need help or support. =) This forum has a looooong story, more than 6 years, may be even more than 7 years… This means you can find tons of useful information and success stories here. Pepole come and go, some come back.

Good! Great idea about hiding your scales so far away. =)))) the main thing is to follow the routine and oh, hey, did you do any measurements? Waistline, hips and so on… do these, too, ok?

How are your exercises doing? What’s the plan for today?

A lovely day to you, too!!!
 
Ok so I ended up waiting til this morning (Sunday) to weigh in. I've now been on duromine for 5 full days. (Start of 6th today)

SW- 73.5
CW- 70.8
So that's a loss of 2.7 since Tuesday

Still no symptoms apart from the dry mouth. The last two nights I've slept for 8 hours so that's good. Not really feeling any different at all.

Anyways I hope everyone's having a great weekend.
 
Yay congratulations, that's an awesome loss. Are feeling the appetite suppressant part at all?
 
Thanks chick :)
Yes the appetite suppressant really works. It's great because I'm not eating through boredom or because my partner is etc went to the movies & was content with a bottle of water ....partner asked did i want a choc top (I always get a choc top lol) & I thought about it & was like no actually, I really don't, I can't even imagine the taste of it ATM.
I feel like my mood is more mellow on duromine however I am also taken a womens anti stress vitamin (all the vit Bs) so maybe that's it too ha ha
How are you going?? :)
 
Oh that's good then, that's the part you want to work. I'm going good. I didn't lose weight last week because I was sick and I weighed in yesterday too and have lost half a kilo. I expected to lose nothing as I haven't been having regular bowel movements for a while now. The chemist told me to have some laxatives-which I'd been avoiding. This might be TMI but it seems like I had a blockage :confused: it's all cleared up now so I should start losing again now that's out of my system. The chemist said that a blockage or even just being constipated actually stops you from losing weight. It's fair to say I feel a lot lighter now haha! Good stuff on knocking back the choc top :)
