    No. But I feel that Diet Coke was a better choice than champagne.

    Marisa, I have several goals: I ‘need’ to lose 40 kg to get to a healthy weight. That make me 71kg. I have not been that weight for a very long time. I plan to first celebrate being under 100kg. I would be very happy to get to 80kg.

    I take the 30mg capsules. Previously I found this is the dosage that works best. 40mg leaves me very edgy and 15mg has little effect. My meal plan is a Healthy Mummy shake for breakfast made with coconut milk, banana, chia seeds and benefibre. Berries for morning tea. Salad for lunch with tuna...

    Day 3 - First work day

    Weighed myself this morning. Have lost almost 3 kilos! (2.9) :scream: While on my morning walk my boss rang and wanted me to start earlier. This meant my day was a bit hectic. Luckily I had prepped my lunch so I just had to grab it. I’m not hungry at all. Breakfast: 1/2 serve of shake with...

    It has been a while.... Hi!

    Five years ago I had great success losing 35 kilos on this site. I’m back for another go. Most of those kilos have crept back. So.... this morning while at the GP to discuss my injured knee (need X-ray and MRI :weary_face: ) I brought up my recent weight loss struggles.We both decided it was...

    Back again

    It has been a long time since I have posted here. I have been very busy with a new career and busy life. Unfortunately my weight has crept up and I have gained back about half of the weight I lost. It has been over two years since I first had Duromine so I am going to visit my GP tomorrow and...

    Angry at pharmacy

    Quick rant about my experience on Wednesday with the pharmacy. My GP wrote me a script for three months (two repeats) of Duromine and I took it to my local Priceline. The pharmacist filled my order, I paid and took it home. When I opened my bag there was no repeat script. As I have worked in a...

    Making myself accountable

    Hello again! It has been a while since my last post. While I spent the best part of the past 12 months maintaining my weight at around 80 - 85 kilos (down from 117 kilos), the past couple of months I have let some bad habits creep back in. :oops: My portion sizes have slowly crept up and I have...

    One year later....

    WOW! What a difference a year can make! It has been twelve months since I made the decision to go to my GP and do something about my weight. This is a decision I will NEVER REGRET. I was READY and, this time, it worked. In the past year I have learned a lot about myself and I have become so...

    Week 49

    Weighed in yesterday and was 80.3 kg. Not bad. 0.95 kg loss this week. That makes a total of 36.7 kilos gone. Had to go and buy new work pants yesterday. Was pretty thrilled that a size 14 is comfortable. It is the excess fold of skin on my belly that is the only reason I don't get size 12...

    Good news to report.

    A loss of 1.65 kg this week. The graph is on a consistent downwards trend again and I am back in the groove. This is wonderful news following three very flat months. I have lost 4 kilos in 4 weeks and if I keep this up I will be very pleased. Weight is now 81.25 kg and my total weight loss is...

    Comment by 'Smick' in 'New Beginnings'

    Good luck to you. I love your pic. I am almost a year into my weight loss and I am sooooooo glad I started. I began at 117 kg and have similar goals. I can actually feel that I will make it now. I was like you. I would start a weight loss plan then fall off the wagon and gain it all back plus...

    Well done Teddie. I am also back and trying my hardest. I wish I could get some big results like yours.
