OK so when I posted my weight at 299, I actually had no clue. I started using Phen on November 6th, but didn't get my scale till Nov. 21. I was looking for one that measured over 300 because I was SURE that's where I was. Imagine my suprise when I weighed in at 285!

So, as of today, I have officially lost 12 pounds. I want to take a new picture every month, so if nothing else, I'll be able to see the difference. When I see myself every day it's hard to notice small changes. This is as good a place as any, lol. Comments(0)

First Day part 2

My husband drives a concrete truck for a living. His plant is about 30 minutes away from home, and he drives locally. He is home every nite to be with me and the children. We are both 31 (but he'll be 32 first, lol)

The kids are 13 - girl, 11 - boy, 6 - girl, 5 - boy, and 3 - boy. I finally figured out the problem, so now I don't drink water. But just in case, I also was our clothes separate and don't share soap with my husband. So far this has worked. ;-)

I need to weigh myself to get a true starting weight, so I hope to get a scale this weekend. The problem is, most scales don't record over 300 pounds so I am kind of at a loss as to where to weigh. I could possibly get a rough estimate at one of those found in the grocery store, but I doubt they are calibrated very often.

Well as with any house with children, my time is short. I am not sure what kind of blog schedule I"ll keep, but I hope at least bi-weekly. We'll see.

First Day

Monday, November 1, 2004 00:06:15

This is my first day. Today is Sunday, November 6th. I ordered my Phentermine last Friday, and should be here by Tuesday (but hoping for Monday). I also started my menstral cycle today, so I will keep track of that too.

I'm trying to change my life, not just drop a couple of extra pounds. I am starting with a goal of 50 pounds in 6 months. When I was on Phen before I lost about 40 pounds in 10 months, but I was not taking it seriously. I did not exercise, and did not change my eating habbits much at all. I was not hungry, so I did not eat as much as was usual, but still had ice cream and candy as I wanted.

This time I want to make a commitment to myself. As I said before I want to change my life. The pills are not miricle pills, so I don't expect them to do all the work themselves. They are just to help me get a running start.

A little about me. I was a SAHM for 3 years while waiting for the younger of my 5 children to start school. Now all but the youngest is in school and I have a part time job. I don't make a lot of money, but it gets me out of the house, and that makes a world of difference. Sitting home all day every day, I became somewhat of a recluse. I noticed that when I did start leaving the house, I was afraid of being in a vehicle! I was terrified of noises, parts falling off or worse, crashing and bursting into a ball of flames....
