    How Many Have Kept The Weight Off??

    You sound like you have a very health and realistic thought process around it all. Bring on summer for more walks with your dog. I'm looking forward to sumber too as this cold wet weather isn't great for being outside. I don't go for massive long walks. Maybe half an hour or an hour if the...

    How Many Have Kept The Weight Off??

    Hi there I dont exercise. I'll go for walks because I like clearing my mind and getting fresh air but no I don't go to the gym or anything like that. And I didn't whilst I was on Duromine either. I went for walks and I also bought an exercise bike at home. I did some squats and lunges and sit...

    How Many Have Kept The Weight Off??

    Hi je25. I kept losing weight after I stopped duromine and have maintained my weight for a year. I still keep check on what I consume etc but have put steps in place for when I get complacent.

    Hey Daisy, Your first post asked for experiences, advice, time frames etc. Obviously there are no time frames as everyone is completely different but I thought you might get some answers to your questions from all my blogs I posted last year (there are heaps. I also did a 7 day example of my...

    Duromine Day 2

    Haha thats great news. You haven't put on 2kgs in 2 days at all. You've lost 1 kg on 2 days ;) good stuff. I know its early days for you and it'll take you a while to get used to stuff, but look into calorie counting. You wont believe what youll learn about food and your body doing that. And it...

    Duromine Day 2

    Hi there. Every one is different with regards to how often they weigh themselves. There is no right or wrong way. There's just your way :p Ill be completely honest here, whether you're on Duromine or not, putting in 2 kilos in 2 days is not typical for anyone. Without stating the obvious and...

    Thanks Joyce. It wasn't that I was worried, I just wanted to share that simply by stoping my calorie counting and drinking more wine I gained a little weight. I've been back calorie counting again for 8 days now and I have lost the 2kg and some more too. Amazing what no alcohol can acheive :p...

    Hi Ginger, Yes I had the dull constant pain too. Soft drink was a big issue for me too. I was a diet coke addict! Having up to a 1.25 litre bottle EVERY day. I love my carbs. I am an avid wine drinker and used to travel the country buying the best wine. My ideal night would be sitting around...

    Rheumatoid Arthritis & Duromine

    I decided to write a blog about this after a fellow forum member asked me if I thought any other things besides weight lost has helped my RA go into remission. The Answer is yes! Other things have helped. But I also want to add a disclaimer. This is MY experience. MY opinion. MY belief. MY...

    It's been 3 & 1/2 months since my last blog

    I just had a lol moment reading the title I gave this blog because it sounds like a confessional. In truth it isnt. I stopped blogging because life got away with me. I started my journey the 1st of January this year. I had crippling rheumatoid arthritis, a low negative state of mind, and an...
