At heaviest: 75kg
Starting weight: 73.2
Goal weight: 60kg
Current weight: 68.8kg
Weight loss: 4.6kg


Mini goal 1: 70kg by April 1 I didn't weigh myself on on April 1, but I was at 69.8 on March 31

New Mini goal 2: 65kgs by April 30


I have not been able to update in awhile, but it is now Day 23 and I have lost 4.6kg. I am quite happy with the results so far. Some people I don't see very often have commented.

Side effects observations. Sleeping patterns are still off, but I am sleeping better than 3 hours now. Last Friday after not taking Duromine on Thursday, I still felt a slight buzz but not as much. This week was even less. My mouth is also feeling less furry but I have noticed that I have been grinding my teeth more often and clenching my jaw. I think my appetite is still lower, and I am eating less , but definitely not as strong as the first week.

Going to continue with this same routine. However, i have noticed that I am starting to get relaxed about food so need to stay strict again.

My meals change up, but it's been something like:


Breakfast: Overnight oats with chia seeds, almonds, blueberries and cashew butter.
Lunch: Either vietnamese roll or sushi
Dinner: always changes. Sometimes eggs, sometimes salmon, sometimes steak.


Exercise: still exercising at least 4 days a week. Knee's still really bad and my shoulders are aching and clicking again which I suspect is from boxing.


Updated: side effects - Bowel movement only once, if I'm lucky twice a week. I'm not uncomfortable, and this was my normal routine when I was younger. However, I would prefer to go more often. Might add some benefiber to oats tomorrow.

Woohooo!!! You’re doing so great! It’s good you noticed you need to get back on track with your nutrition, and I am sure you will do so. You’re so close to your goal. May that second mini goal come sooner, just like the first did!

Did you address to a doctor about your knee? These tend to be very sensitive to falls and can be quite problematic with liquid accumulation. Hope, it will get better soon! Keep it up! Take care and have a lovely week!

HI April,

I have not had a chance to see a doctor yet. I've been going to Physio but hasn't improved. I have been advised by another physio to get some kind of scan so I will book a time with a Dr. (Could also be exacerbated by being so overweight) :-( and the slight improvement could be the slight weight loss

If you have a possibility to NOT postpone your scan, you should do it as soon as possiblr. It’s been quite a long time since you hurt your knee.

Before you start blaming it all on excess weight, you have to make sure it is fine. Best of luck to you, dear! Hope things will clear out and the problem will be solved.
