Here I am on day 40! I have lost a total of 19.3 lbs. and am so close to my goal of 20 lbs before I stop the phentermine in two days! I know I can do it! Things are going well. A friend of mine that started taking it a week after I did has stopped because she wasn't losing anything. She wasn't losing anything because she did not make any life changes. She expected the meds to everything for her. Even though I told her that she had to work at it too, that the meds were just to aid in the weight loss not do all the work, she still did not change and only lost about 5 lbs in two weeks. She finally stopped taking it all together. Why can't people understand that there is no magic pill to take the weight away?! If there were, I would have taken it a long time ago!
Anyway, I am feeling good. I bought the Wii game EA Sports Active to give me some variety in my workout program and also still using the Gazelle. I am getting the swimming pool opened up so there is that option later on also. My eating habits are 100% better than they have ever been in my life. I don't fight it near as much as I did in the beginning, so I feel pretty confident that during the 30 days off the meds I will do okay. I am that determined! I have to be because I know of a couple of "friends" that are waiting to see how I do. They are the ones who said I would gain it back once I went off the meds. I am going to prove them wrong!!!!
So, there is my update. I still think that this website is awesome and I really appreciate all the help and support it offers! Hope you all are having a great day!
