MMK said:Week 5 Update...
Only lost 100g this week quite disappointing as I worked my butt off and ate really well (always logging all food in myfitnesspal)
Starting Weight: 84.3kgs
Current Weight: 80.9kgs
Total Loss to date: 3.4kgs
Kind of thought I would be further along by now, but my pattern seems to be lose a bit one week, nothing the next.
Anyways, one must carry on!
MMK said:Hi April, my goal weight is 65kgs. I'm only 164cm (5"4), but i'll be happy to maintain anything under 70kgs.
I definitely feel my clothes feeling more comfortable, so i'm not too concerned what the nasty scales say! My partner is also noticing, so that's also good.
I do a mixture of circuit (tabata) barre and TRX. So think that's a pretty good mixture.
Yes I've had my hormones checked and they're all good.
I travel every second week at the moment for work, so that screws my routine up sadly. Just need to make good food choices when i'm not preparing my own food and I've packed my workout gear so I can go to the gym in the hotel.
Very determined to reach my first goal - 79kgs in two weeks time.
VERY DETERMINED!!!
MMK said:Week 7 Update...
1kg loss this week! Extremely happy! Didn't quite make my mini goal of 79kgs, but almost!
Starting Weight: 84.3kgs
Current Weight: 79.5kgs
Total Loss to date: 4.8kgs
Next mini goal is when I go on holidays. 21.04.17 (4 weeks away) - 77kgs
The only thing I've changed this week is, I was only able to get to two classes since the last weigh in, so I reduced my calories as I wasn't exercising - I did 2 days at 500 calories (5:2 method).
Looking forward to next week!

My doctor put me on 15mg to start with, just to a) get me used to it and b) as my blood pressure was a little elevated. When I went back two weeks later with no side effects, no extra elevated blood pressure, he gave me a script with the 30mg, saying that I should finish off the 15mg by taking two each day. I took the prescription for a further week till they ran out with no change in how I felt.
Today is the first day of taking the wholly 30mg capsule and whoa! Three hours later and I am so... jittery/alert/energetic! It was the one side effect that I was hoping for. For years, thanks to my thyroid, I have felt tired, lethargic, exhausted, and to feel this pumped is a beautiful thing
April said:Hey! It’s so cool that you feel that good and all jumping inside! =) You’re lucky to get exactly the side effect you wanted and needed to get going even more actively! I hope that you won’t have to suffer any other side effects from 30 mg.
Keep going great!
PS. Surprised your doc told you to finish 15 mg.. I would leave them for the discontinuation period. Oh well…
