Today it has been one month since I started take D, can't believe how quickly time has flown by! And it has not been bad at all, lost 900 gr last week so all and all it is a 6kg loss for the month. So last week I decided to take dairy out of my diet as much as possible, it was quite a...

Week 3 with a loss of 800gr – whoopee. But without being to sarcastic or unappreciative I will take the loss no matter how small over a gain any time. I had to do some shopping for my summer wardrobe and the emotions were twofold: first being elated that in some shops I actually fit in a size...

Week 2 is done, dusted and I lost 1.7kg. What is absolutely magic for me is that I’m not constantly obsessing over food: what am I going to eat, when am I going to eat, and what am I craving for today? Now it is just a question of I am hungry, let’s eat something healthy and carry on with the...

So I started taking Duromine on Monday 15/09/2014 and so far the side effects has really not been that bad. I went for blood test last week (while getting my Duromine script) and got the results back. Discovered that my thyroid is a bit underactive, cholesterol is high (but this is not so bad...

I was on Duromine about two years ago and did really well the first couple of weeks. Thinking back now I can’t remember why I stopped using it, was I out of my mind or what?! So fellow Durominers as of this morning I am back on the Duromine wagon. Watching a program The Fat Doctor and listing...

Things I look forward to when I’m a decent, healthy weight: 1. Not being sweaty in summer, by this I mean being able to wear cooler clothes. 2. Actually feeling cold in the winter. So embarrassing we everybody else is freezing and you don’t know what the fuss is about. My fat keeps me very...

First it was the obsession with food: “What am I going to eat?”, “When can I eat again?”, “Why am I eating?”, and all the other questions that came with that. Now on Duromine, the obsession has changed to the digits on the scale: “Must I weigh myself every day?”, “How much will I lose?” and...

This is harder to start type then what I had imagined so let’s just get straight to it. I’m 34 years old, 1.74cm tall and weigh in at 130km (sounds like a boxing match). Well it is definitely going to be a fight, me vs. the fat. I have always been overweight but this is an all-time high...
