Back to 89.5 so back to work. Current total loss 7.6 kilo's, 2.4 kilo's behind goal of 1 kilo a week :cool: grrr. But then no duromine for 3 weeks, and no gaining back, so will take that and be happy. Only 2.4 kilo's to go and I will have lost 10 kilo's for the first time in my life. I've got...

weighed in at 90.6. Not disheartened though, I always gain in the week of ttom. Been off duromine for 11 days. Haven't noticed a huge change in appetite, aside from the want for carbs which I also always get a this time. Been lazy haven't got on the treadmill, so that's this weeks goal, to get...

Went to the GP on Tuesday for script...blood pressure was high, so not allowed anymore :(:( But on the upside I am still losing weight...weigh in this morning 89.5 so doing a happy dance :p:p:p back into the 80's. That was a 600 gram loss and total of 7.6 kilos lost while on duromine. 2.4 kilo's...

90.1 today, 200 grams to the 80"s yehhh:p 7 kilo's in 6 weeks so pretty stoked with that.

weigh in today 91.1 So 600 grams this week. Been a bit slack, not drinking enough water. Still not exercising. Gonna pick up my game this week and hope I get into the 80's...sooo close.:)

Been unwell past 2 days with tummy bug. So weighed in today at 91.7 which is a 2.2 kilo loss for 8 days. That's huge for me, but put it down to on the other side of TTOM and the cleanout ;). Total loss for the month 5.4 kilo's so tracking well. Still on 30 mg, no side effects.

Weighed in this morning 93.9 so 1 kilo loss for this week :p. 3.2 for 3 weeks so on track for 20 kilo's in 20 weeks. Side effects gone aside from dry mouth. Not exercising yet...too hot in Queensland atm, just eating healthy, watching portions, and drinking water.

Started on 30 mg this morning. Weighed in at 94.9 so that 2.2 kgs gone :) Not exercising but eating healthy. Side effects with the 15 mg had gone..so hanging onto my hat with the increase, could be a few long nights ahead. Least I'm on days off.

Weighed myself this morning...95.7 on 15 mg so that's 1.4 kg gone. Very happy with that as haven't been as good as I should have been. Given up the vino...but have been enjoying the gin and diet tonic a bit more than expected :rolleyes: Been so hot in Qld haven't been able to get on the tready...

Here I am back for a second go! Hubby and I are on the journey together this time, both starting on 15mg duromine today. Weighed myself for the first time in a long time this morning, so starting weight 97.1 kg

87.6 ..600 grams this week. Scales are on the move again yippee:D:D. 5 kilo's in 5 weeks so on track. TTOM is due so avoiding the scales this week. Hope everyone has a happy and safe Xmas

No loss this week, but no gain either so 88.2

Been a learning curve this week. Haven't been able to resist jumping on the scales every day...all that achieved was to have me on a downer as the scales fluctuated. But also goes to show...for the past 3 days weight hasn't shifted at all until todays weekly weigh in when I am at 88.2 showing a...

Good nights sleep...side effects all gone and was thrilled to get on the scales this morning to find I have actually lost 3 kilos not the 1.5 I initially thought...

Bit of a surprise started TTHOM a little early... Good day, ate healthy and slept well.

Increased to 30 mg this morning. No major issues thus far...just feeling a bit cotton headed. Didn't have the best nights sleep last night...probably got about 4 hours. I am so hoping to get the energy burst I read about, get stuck into some spring cleaning.( just not at midnight hahaha)...

All side effects gone. Have some days off now, so will trial increasing from 15 mg to the 30 mg dose and see how it goes. Feeling positive...resisted temptation to jump on scales today. Eating healthy, though way easier to manage portions. I'm one of those...gee I really enjoyed that healthy...

Slept like a baby... think the meds have worn off now...as I feel like someone who had only 3 hours sleep the previous night:confused: Been debating whether it's time to go up to the 30 mg, but think I will hold off to Wed...my next RDO in case it goes pear shaped re: side effects...

Strange nights sleep. Though yawning, didn't drop off easily, and only slept approx. 3 hours. Feels like longer. Hopped on the scales and have dropped 1 kilo in 2 days. Not experiencing any other side effects aside from the dry mouth...which encourages me to drink water, so see that as a plus...
