Well done!! Thats amazing. nothing feels better than hitting a mini goal. So after 2 months on duromine and losing about 9 kilos I went of it for a good 3 weeks because of uni exams and to take a break. With being at home studying and snacking I put on a kilo and i just finished my first week...

Thanks Kate and latashas. Its been pretty challenging to increase my food but for the last few days I have eaten a lot more. I guess its pretty difficult because I already have coeliac disease and am lactose intolerant. I have been upping my nuts and legumes as my cholesterol is really low and...

On my 5th Week of duromine and hit my little mini goal of losing 7kg. Lost 7.3kg in 5 weeks! Barely eating much, keeping hydrated with water and tea and my exercise generally involves being constantly on the go. I stand up for 8-9 hours a day and I'm climbing up stairs constantly so it keeps me...

Reached my first mini goal of losing 5kg in 3 weeks!!!!! And did a little cheat and weighed myself this morning to see that 2 days into my 4th week, i lost another 0.7kg!!! WOOO! i wanted to lose 6-7kg in the first month and looks like im not too far away!

@christine V try taking it early like at 4:30am and then keep yourself super busy during the day. At night have some chamomile tea, stay away from technology, put on some soft music or read and that might help a bit. I did that and it worked! But everyone is different so see how you go.

@Melmo you are very right. Its what my mum keeps saying to me. In general I am shorter and have a smaller frame, but most of my unwated weight hibernates around the bottom half of my body so it takes time to shed that. half way through my second week and lost almost another kg. Started intense...

Wow, @Typical_Jules thats a really good eating plan. I generally have fruits for breakfast- generally an apple and a banana or sometimes I have 2 or 3 corn thins and im stuffed. For lunch i sometimes have some raw veggies cut up to snack on, sometimes a chicken salad. If I have a really long day...

Hey @Bec32 My sleep is so much better! Almost 2 weeks in and i can crash like a baby. Realistically, i have no more side effects besides the dehydration. One week is the duration of the side effects but obviously it differs between every person. If you find yourself not sleeping try taking the...

I lost 2.2kg in the first week with super healthy eating but minimal exercise but im up and about all day long running all around the city. I was a little disappointed. Seen so many people lose 5-6kg in the first week but then I need to remember that everyone loses weight differently. For...

Woww!! 6.7kg!!! Thats amazing. keep it up!!!! Cant wait to shed cm off my waist!!!

Hey guys, I'm on day 2 (well hittin day 3 with this insomnia) on 40mg and i have taken D at 5:30am for the last two days. I cannot sleep. I feel like my eyes hurt and head feels buzzy but all i want to do is jump up and down. Hope tomorrow im not tired during the day. I know the insomnia...

thanks @Melmo! Day one and so far going well. Very dry mouth and had almost 2L of water. Done about 30-40mins of power walking and been on 3 small meals adding up to about 550 calories. Not hungry at all but keeping my fluids up. Hoping I have some luck with this!! Congrats on your results so far!

Hi everyone, Tomorrow I start Duromine 40mg and as much research i have done I am not too sure what to expect. I am planning on getting up every morning at 5:30am to take it so I can sleep and am planning on having foods like fruit and veggie juices, salads, tuna and chicken breast, raw almonds...
