Duromine Day 2

Thank you :laughing: excited to see the results
 
Hey guys!

Day 5 and im feeling good! Eating 3 meals a day (3 tiny meals) and i've lost 3kg! which i guess is pretty good considering im not very overweight!
Ive only had very minor side effects such as a little bit of dry mouth and occasionally a minor distaste in my mouth!
I feel like Duromine is going to really help me not just to loose weight but to change my lifestyle! its given me so much motivation to start working out again and im never craving bad foods which is a plus. I've been eating completely healthy except for last night when i had a few biscuts and dip, not sure where that craving came from but doing that last night made me realise its not worth it, ive been an overweight binge eater for to long and its time to change.

Cant wait to share the rest of my journey with you guys!! :laughing:
p.s trying not to weigh myself everyday because i want to see kg results rather than just a loss of 200g a day :)
 
Week 4?!!

So I can't believe that I've been on duromine for 4 weeks, the first 2 weeks were amazing... The second 2 weeks feel like a waste..

This week I was sick 3 days, so I didn't take duromine for 2 days, and I'm sure I threw up the duromine on the first day of sickness. In saying that I only got the chance to go for a walk yesterday.

Weigh in- 93.9
That's an increase 300grams .

Another thing, I have taken the advice from everyone and I have reduce my weighing myself everyday for the past fortnight, and only doing it once a week. To be honest, it has taken away my motivation and I have noticed that loosing weight isn't at the top of my priority list day to day.

I think I will have to go back to what I was doing as it was working for me a lot more in terms of keeping motivated and seeing the numbers going down. I feel like I have wasted this week, I could've Known I wasn't doing great mid week and I could have attempted to change things up rather than doing it at the end of week weigh in..

Hi Kiara Im with you I have to weigh in everyday to keep motivated and on track. Whatever works to get the results keep doing it. It is your journey. Good luck for next week. I have had a 4 week break for my body to have a rest. Back on the weight loss journey again. This next week will be great for both of us. ☺
 
Hi kiara
Must admit Ive been weighting myself everyday as I find it keeps me motivated too! If I haven't lost any i work harder if I have lost then I know I'm tracking well and still worki harder lol;) do whatever suits you best because then you'll stick to it. x

Hello my Duromine friends!

I'm currently on day 8 of Duromine so my second week! and i lost a total of 4kgs in my first week which is so exciting :laughing: i am now down to 83.3kg.
This week im going to work in a lot more exercise, last week i only did two 30 minute workouts, this week im thinking of doing atleast 4-5 because i have the energy and motivation for it. My eating has been extremely clean and healthy and portion sizes quite small. Im still sleeping like a baby and still my only side affects are a rare off taste in my mouth and a dry mouth which is okay with me because that just means im drinking a lot more water!

Although i only lost 4kgs in a week i think that is an awesome effort considering im not obese so its harder for me too lose weight fast and i am only on 15mg of the duromine.

xo
 
Hi Alisha,

Four kilos is huge!! I'm about ten days in and I've lost about 1.7. Which would be a lot under any other circumstances. The lack of sleep has been really hard, a few days I've been too tired to drive, only sleeping two or three hours a night. I'm going to try taking it every second day.

I'm seeing my doc tomorrow to check on blood pressure, and see what she says. I'm on the 30mg so I think she might prescribe the 15.

I was 71kg this morning, looking forward to the 60's...
 
Hi katsuu!

Hoping to lose 4kgs every week wouldnt that be a dream come true! lol, considering you only weight 71kgs i think 1.7kgs is an awesome amount of weightloss for you!

Yeah im only 15mgs and i sleep like a baby so perhaps you need the 15! keep me updated on your weightloss :laughing:
 
Hi Duro
How are you doing? Have you got rid of that nasty bug yet?o_O
 
Hey everyone! So it's been a little while :p I thought I'd update you all.

I had my weigh in with the dr last week. All is good and he says I've lost about 4kgs which is good, not too quick which is the aim. I have another appointment this week with him to organise a health care plan, to see a dietician and an exercise physiologist so I can learn good habits. Half of me is really not bothered (I mean I studied both of these at university, I just don't put it into practice.. Dumb I know). But the other half of me is saying if I do this I have to do it right.
Have any of you had this with their Drs?

He has also increased my dose this month to 30mg. Does anyone have any experience with the increase of dosage? Symptoms and weight loss wise, I'd be really interested in your experience. I start on 30 tomorrow

Weighing myself more regularly has seemed to be the thing that works for me. I finally lost some weight again! I'm at 92.3 I'm so close to being under the 90s I'm so excited! That means I lose 1.6 since last weigh in.


I'm secretly hoping that my first week on 30mg has the same impact as the first week on 15mg. Fingers crossed!!
 
Day 4 on 30mg

Noticeable difference in dry mouth and thirst, it's not too bad. A bit annoying as my job doesn't give me the option to go to the bathroom as often as I want :/
I have also had my first night where I could not sleep. My mind was racing about nothing in particular and everything that came into my head I had to research about or shop for. By the time I knew it, it was 7am and the sun was up. I managed to sleep for two hours this morning but stayed awake until 8.30pm when I had to take a nap until 10pm. I'm feeling like I have slept all night right now.

I'm hoping this isn't going to be a regular occurrence but I will keep you updated. I have however loved what 30mg is doing to my weight :). I'm down to 91.9 I am so happy! That's a 6.1kg loss in almost a 6 weeks on duromine. Hoping I'll leave the 90's this time next weekend. I also had the urge to exercise which was amazing, I haven't had that feeling since I was in college. Really enjoyed feeling like I can just go out and be physically active.

I'll check back with my weight on Wednesday morning. A week after starting 30mg :)
 
Goals

I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned my end goal.. I'm hoping that when I reach a size 8-10 and my body feels not so weighed down I will be at my Goal. However, it's always good to have a target weight in mind and alter that when you get closer.

I'm an absolute shorty, I am 151cm (on a good day haha!). In terms of BMI I need to be at 58kgs to be at the higher end of 'healthy weight'. Even though it's the higher end, I'm aiming for 58. I remember being around 65 and feel pretty good body wise, I felt like I could been a tiny bit lighter but I was happy with what I saw in the mirror.

I've never been a fan of bmi though, throughout uni and working closely with other health professionals it seems to be a very inaccurate way to measure healthy weight. It doesn't take muscle mass into consideration at all which is much heavier than fat in a smaller area.

My start weight was around the 102kg mark, that was about Christmas new year of 2014. As you can imagine I was carrying a lot of extra weight for someone of my height, I feel like I hid it pretty well though...in total I will need to loose 44kgs .
I have 33.9kg to go!! Looking at that actually makes me feel pretty good, that's the first 10kgs done !

I'm hoping to reach a 25kg loss by Christmas, 77kgs. And be 35kg down by my wedding date, April 16 2016, 67kgs. I will be over the moon to walk down the aisle at that weight. Hoping by October 2016 I will be 58kgs ❤️
 
Wow keep going Kiara your doing so well and will achieve your goal to be a stunning bride and a healthier you x
 
Hey everyone so im almost on week 4 and have only lost a total of 5kgs, pretty gutted to be honest but i guess 5kgs is better than nothing, hope i can keep up the healthy eating, work outs, and weightloss up once im off Duromine. Just a little over a week left to go.
 
5 kg is still a great effort. And even if you don't lose weight or only lose abit, that doesn't mean you have to resort back to being unhealthy because of that (this was once my thinking).
Consistency pays off so you will get there.
And duromine is only an appetite suppressant so hopefully your tummy has gotten used to the portion sizes and when you're off duromine you can keep losing weight. Don't lose focus :)

I don't know how to really start this, but my objective is to use this posting system as my weightless journal/diary to share my journey and how i think throughout this journey.

I am 174cm tall and currently weight 78.5kilos. I have gained an excess of 10kg the past 2 months, mainly due to food addiction and compulsive eating. The way this makes me feel... unhealthy, weak, low self esteem and all the contributing factors that many of you other women, or men feel towards them selves when they are gaining or have gained weight.

So here go's Journal entry 1.

Dear journal,

Where do I begin. For the past 2 months I have regrettfully stuffed my face with all the unhealthy junk food and gained 10kg.

Im embarrassed about the way I look and feel and I think it's finally time to change, finally time to begin living a healthier, lighter life. Iv recently (just yesterday) started taking Duromine 30mg. Iv read a lot of reviews about side effects and how sever they can actually be. But it seems, i don't think I am experiencing any major or minor side effects, Just loss of appetite and an increasing amount of energy.

The first night was OK, I mentally prepared myself for not being able to sleep. I slept around 4-5 hours. I think...

My first weigh in was 80kg on the dot. I know that the minor weight difference I see on the scale is far from actually fat loss, but instead water weight. Iv started to exercise a some what moderate to high effort on the stationary bike for 30 minutes a day. I have realised that I'm able to push my self harder for longer, something I have had difficulties with.

I am confident I'm able to become the healthier version that I'm seeking to be.

As for my diet, Lots of Water! have to get rid of all those toxins built up in my body for so many years, (Iv already lost 30 kilos, but gained ten of those back) As for what i eat during the day. A small bowl of cereal is al that I can really convince myself to eat for breakfast. For my second meal which is usually my last. (I know i should be eating 4-6 small meals a day), i eat a small bowl of Caesar salad and some chicken.

I believe that I can become who i want to be, my goal is to lose these 10 kgs within the time frame of 30 days, since i have 30 tablets. But I'm going to aim for a high weight loss, those last five kilos are always the hardest.

So which me luck. Ill write again in a couple of days.

xx T.

Please feel free to message me if you need a friend to keep you encouraged and motivated. Im sure ill need one!!!

I hear ya! I'm here for exactly the same reasons, and its day 4 for me. I'm looking forward to the first week being over!
I can't wait to see the results after just one week!!
 
Morning, Current time 7:37am.

Warning: This Entry may be triggering.

Dear Journal,

I am feeling great today. I have been addicted to unhealthy junk food all my life and the all so familiar withdrawals kicked in yesterday. I slept a maximum of 5 hours last night and still manage to wake up at 6.30am and take my duromine tablet. An hour later and I'm wide awake. The past two days iv been feeling down and tired, two of the many withdrawal symptoms I get.

Im weighing myself daily (A bad habit) just so i can record any patterns that my body may pick up in the weight loss department.

This mornings weigh in: 77.8kg! (Three more kg and ill be at my first goal weight). One of the best ways to lose fat more effectively is to do cardio in the morning fasted. What I mean by this, is do not have breakfast before your workout or do your cardio session, you'll be thanking yourself.

When I was little I started to become over weight around the age of 10 - 12 years old. I was inactive and ate unhealthy all the time, what seems to me now that I suddenly weighed a total of 60kg at around the age of 11 and already started to rapidly increase to 75kg by the age of 13. By the age of of 14 I was a massive 80kg. Thats seriously over weight for a 14 year old girl.

The point to this? well there really isn't any. Its just a story about my childhood id like to share.

I started dieting around the age of 12 - 13 years old, and what I would call an onset of an eating disorder. I already started to calorie restrict at such a young age. My young body, already becoming subject to a life of eating disorders. Now, two of the most familiar eating disorders you might know about are, anorexia and bulimia. But did you now that binge compulsive eating disorder is one too. One that till this day I have to control. Yep, I eat my emotions away with no control what so ever.

With this tablet I am really hoping that it'll be able to provide aid in portion control and help me with my binge eating.

So todays another day, DAY 3 and I'm going great so far, I still have no side effects that most the reviews for the tablet describe. Im feeling more energetic than yesterday and my appetite is controlled.

Let me know how you're journey is going, feel free to Private message me!

Wish Me Luck.

xx T.

Current time: 9:01am Day 4

Good morning Journal,

Todays weigh in: 77.4kg.
2.4 kgs to reach GW1.

I think I am finally starting to get a side effect, DRY MOUTH!

I can't imagine anything more annoying then having dry mouth. I have already consumed 1.2L of water this morning and I am not looking forward to the side effect.

I was able to sleep longer last night. Even though I continuously woke up. It was still the sleep I needed. I like to listen to rain and thunder on youtube. It puts me right to sleep. Im feeling a bit better than good today. Im starting to look forward to exercising because I know I'm closer to my goal than yesterday.

Im not sure if I'm crazy or not, but i think I'm actually starting to notice the cellulite getting smaller on my legs. Thats my biggest insecurity.

I am so excited for the end results after 30 days. I am really hoping I will be able to reach my goal, in a dangerously short amount of time. I mean is it even possible to lose 15 - 20kg in a month. I don't want to run the risk of gaining it all back plus more.

Im disappointed in myself for making poor choices in the health and fitness department for so many years, but I am also so proud that I have made it to 4 days with what I would call a success so far!

My true objective by the end of this is to motivated others and myself as well as being able to love myself. Its a journey I'm will to take.

Wish Me Luck.

xx T.
