So its been exactly a fortnight today since I took my measurements, and I am currently on my 7th day of Duromine. Was skeptical if those half inch losses were real, but I am using the same tape measure and (ladies take note because I think this is important) the exact same bra I wore on the...

Here's that accountability I mentioned! These are from my last measurements taken in October 2018 to just 5 days ago :) MEASUREMENTS Upper Arm: 26 Oct 18: 13.5" 13 Mar 19: 13" (0.5" loss) Full Bust: 26 Oct 18: 43" 13 Mar 19: 42" (1" loss) Waist: 26 Oct 18: 37" 13 Mar 19: 35" (2"...

Well, its been a shitty past 4 months personally and the lows have far outweighed the highs. My family has suffered greatly and even though some things are still a work in progress - I believe we all seem to be in a much better space right now. During this time (since Nov 18) I haven't take...

As my thread is part of my accountability I owed it to myself to put this out there and be honest. I don't want to go into the things that have been happening in my life, but I am aware that mentally for the last 2 - 3 weeks I have just been existing. After arriving back home (from Dad’s 70th)...

See above - yep thats how I am feeling. Be aware - this post is a whinge, and I am definitely feeling a little sorry for myself right now! At the end of last week it was like everything was crystal clear and the path to follow was an easy one. Today - struggling in a major way. I'm freakin...

Weekly Weigh In's: Obviously just posted my first, but its a bit different in how I did it in the past. I used to write up all my stats, and even though they gave me a sense of accomplishment - they tended to make me become a little too obsessed and a lot more competitive. I also took note at...

This time around I want to track them. I have a feeling I will get more satisfaction with these results, than I will if I have a crappy week of weight-loss. So here we go - day 2 on my re-start with Duromine; I am actually really shocked!! Not so much in the bust and hips, but most definitely...

I have been going through my old notes (from my past op) and info sheets trying to do a little research in regards to what I should be aiming for in regards to my calorie intake - it's been a little niggle for me as I haven't been able to find the NUT I went to, and because I have been doing a...

I thought it would be interesting to keep a page just for working out my averages, whilst relating it back to the weightloss formula which is; One pound of fat equates to 3,500 calories, so for a weekly loss of 2.2 pounds, or 1 kilogram, you need to plan a 1,100 calorie deficit each day for a...

Not related to the title, but I need to clarify how I view Duromine. - To me its a tool that allows me to suppress my appetite and increase my metabolism whilst making the changes to my lifestyle that I need to make so that I can form healthy habits. So whilst taking Duromine, your appetite...

For some reason when reading up on calories in v’s calories out, I would have a brain fart moment and it would all look like "goobledygook" to me. My eyes would glaze over and I would pick up words here and there, but it is quite obvious to me now, that I had some type of dyslexia where anything...

Well its actually me! My first blog entry was something that I had wrote down before joining here and starting Duromine. And even though I have re-wrote it, I am leaving it up as a reminder to myself on how easy it is to place blame on circumstances and events that have occurred without really...

I had to change this from how I wrote it originally as it was making me cringe... So let me break it down; 12 years ago I was 135kg and had just been diagnosed with diabetes type II. I didn't struggle to lose weight but I was in a cycle of losing 10kg, gaining 9kg, losing 10kg - and then...
