Not much

OK, down 2 more pounds, yippee, I don't know what happened.  I got cellulitis in my leg, so I can't hit the treadmill, but I should still lose, right?????  Oh well, 2 pounds is something.

Still Dropping, despite....

OK, I forgot to weigh in monday and yesterday, but today, I am down to 257, that is 13lbs, since start.  I have been stressed, I REALLY messed up on my bank account, it is -1034.00 or something.  YES, that is a minus/negativ/- sign before the number.  What does this have to do with weight loss???  I will tell you.
I am a comfort eater, as you may be.  I am stressed, depressed, and so here is a test of my will power.  I have had about 6 squares of caramello in the past week....not too bad.  I would normally eat the whole pound bar.
Anyway, there has been no love lately, but send some if you can spare it.

HIP, HIP, HOORAY!!!!

2 great things to say today:
1) I went to the gym last night, and just like some of the comments said, I went for 1/2 hour (first time to the gym in months) on the treadmill, sped it up above what the program was at, and didn't want to stop, but I had to due to babysitting issues. 
2) I am at my first 10 lbs mark today!!!!!!!

A new leaf

OK, today, no change, still 261, but I guess that is better than going up.  I feel smaller though, I can squeeze to the next hole in my belt, it's snug, but it gets there.  I am turning a new leaf today,
I AM GOING TO THE GYM!!!!  I have been putting it off, but have to make myself go, that is all there is to it.   Wish me luck!!!

FINALLY!!!!

OK, I know that it is bad to weight yourself EVERY day, but since there was no change monday, I have been, and finally, I an down to 261 this mornin, I was worried.  Now, can someone tell me?  Does phen also multiply what you do in exercise???  Here is what I mean, yesterday, I walked into work, weight in at 264, had to move my cubicle of stuff, made me sweat (yuck, while at work) and now I am 261 this morning.  I ate the same as every other day, 3 meals... I don't get it, but I like it and will take it.

No change!!!!

Well, today is monday (weigh in day), still 264, NO CHANGE!!!!  That is so upsetting.  I have not been exercising, but I thought this phen was supposed to make me lose anyway.  Am I wrong???  I am waiting for the treadmills to be fixed at the gym at work.  I know it sound like an exuse, but I tried the stair stepper and the bike, and they kill my knees.  Somebody tell me why this med isn't working.

First monday

Well, I weighed in yesterday, at 264.  I ate more than I should have this weekend, friday was my anniversary, so we went to a casino, did the buffet (I had half of usual) and then a big breakfast (kind of) sat morning.  The pills are not as noticable anymore, but I went to the gym at work, and did have energy for that, so that is good.  I feel let down, for some reason, like the pills are'nt working, but they are, I lost 6 lbs in less that a week, and am not as hungery as usual.  I don't snack at breaks, and sometimes forget them all together!!  Anyway, if you are reading this, let me know, give some love

Day 1 and 2

Well, I started the phen yesterday, had small dizzy spells, but could walk through them, did't fall or anything.  My energy was up and down, and I had small sharp pains on both edges of my chest.  My left arm is ok, and when I went for a brisk walk, my lungs hurt, I think it was related.  My energy seemed to come back when I did something, but my job is sitting at a desk, so it is hard to do.  I ate abou 1/2 of normal, and NO SNACKING!!!! 
Today I weighed myself, and I show a loss, already, or about 4 lbs.  Maybe just water, maybe because I didn't eat as much, we will see.

Once upon a time...

Well, tomorrow, I start phentermine, so I will log it here.  Wish me luck!!!!
