Before After

33 lbs. gone!

I feel so good. I went to see my doctor on Friday, the 6th and boy was I excited. I am down another 4 lbs. When I went to her office on 9/8 I was weighing 255, then back on the 26th and weighed in at 248, back again on the 6th and weighing 244. Thats a total of 11 lbs in about 3.5 weeks. Too my surprise I was also able to fit into a pair of 18 pants. When I started I was wearing a 24/26.

I really don't know what to do with myself. Not to mention how good it feels too be complimented on. Last night I dedicated 30 mintues of my time to my reebok stepper. I love that thing. I now need to start to tone my arms. They are getting alot smaller but I have noticed alot of loose skin hanging underneath and I don't care too much for the way that looks.

I still don't have much of an appeitite, so forcing myself to eat has become a daily thing now. I'm still not eating any red meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.) I only eat fish and shrimp, along with ny vegetables and fruits. Seems to be working pretty well for me nowadays. I have alot of people ask me what type of diet am I on. I try explaining to them that this is not a diet. Its a lifestyle change. Some don't see to understand why I gave up eating meat, etc. but this is my life and If I choose not to eat it, I really don't see persnally what that has to do with them. I think if everyone who wants t loose weight would look at it as a lifestyle change as apposed to a diet, they would have more success.

Hey Shona

Hey Shona, hope you are doing great!  I'm replying to your question about the side effect of phen.  THe answer, YES!  I have very dry mouth and a bad taste in my mouth.  But besides that, it is working great so far.  It gives me will power.  It sounds like you were doing great, even without the phen.  WOW! THat's so great.  Only 44 more ponds to go.  You can definitely do it girl!  Good luck, meagain
