Starting tomorrow!!

zilla789 · 10-24-2012, 04:49 PM

Just wanted to introduce myself here since I know I will need LOTS of support as I start this journey and there seem to be some great resources on this forum! I had my first appointment today and am starting the program tomorrow. I have about 40 lbs I would like to lose to get back to my pre-baby body -- gained 70+ lbs when I was pregnant and on bedrest and while I did lose some of the weight, I have stalled out with trying to lose the weight on my own.

My major weaknesses are starchy sweets and ice cream, so it's going to be a big adjustment for me, but I know I need to do it for my health and for my kids. Plus I am just plain tired of people thinking I am still several months pregnant, 2+ years after the last baby.

Anyhoo, thanks for reading and look forward to getting to "know" you better.

Good luck you can do it. This is my second week. The first week I started the first 2 days was the hardest for me, but it does gets better.

Thanks! Today is day 2 -- I was a little lightheaded when I woke up this morning but it passed after I took the phentermine and ate breakfast. I almost didn't get the phentermine (I really don't like taking prescription meds) but am glad I did now; I think it's making it a lot easier to eat proper "portions" at meals and not want to snack inbetween.

Just had my weigh-in after week 2 and I am down 8.5 lbs total!! I am in total shock. I was down 4.5 after the first week and went down another 4 this week. I can feel my jeans getting looser already!

I know it probably won't keep up at this rate, but it is giving me some serious motivation to stick with the program.

Woohoo! Way to go! It gets easier, I promise!
