Marsoopials Journal

It all started in highschool.

I always thought-I could find clothes that MAKE ME LOOK skinnier...Then one day i woke up and thought: maybe if i get skinnier i'll feel better. So my dad and i started working out at this therapy place.. It was the only gym in town. I never weighed myself-didnt care. Just wanted to get down into some nicer pants.

A couple months later, i surely did fit into pants. I was around 155. I moved up here to MI from northern GA and started working out RIGHT AWAY. It was more or less a lifestyle change by now-not so concerned with the weight issue. Someone once told me "if you concentrate on getting healthy, the lbs will come off with it"

So, in June 2004 I found out i was pregnant. I think my weight was about 155 or so. And then i just let myself go.. Skyrocketing to 218 in March of 2005.

So it leads me to here. After giving birth i did akins ASAP. I never weighed myself after i had the baby... So i guess i lost about 15 lbs on atkins. I never cheated.. not even once. I thought IF I CAN HAVE A BABY, I CAN LOOSE WEIGHT! C'MON!

So, my doc wrote me a script for this-not knowing anything about the drug. Just told him i wanted somehting to loose weight. He wrote me up for fastin.

Ive found this site so usefull-honestly. Ive been sending the link to friends

Anyway...heres a bit of my daily routine:

Yesterday i worked out on the bike for 30 min. varing levels but keeping my heart rate at around 145-153. Then i did 100 crunches and some weight lifting. This is usual for me... 7 days a week.

I eat tons of slimfast low carb bars. usually four a day (each with 180-200 calories each). I drink about 50 fl. oz of water a day.

So far ive lost 4 lbs in 5 days.. No changes since monday however..:(

I hope thiss will teach me will power and how to eat right

Keep us up-to-date on how you are doing after your hospital visit last night.

Yes Marsoopial, please let us know how you are recovering.

I'm guessing that Marsoopial isn't doing very well. :( Or else she just
stopped using Phentermine and doesn't visit anymore.

I hope she recovers.

I wondered about that too--since the ER thing happened. I hope everything is ok.

Me too! I hope she is ok! Does she have an email addy on file? Maybe ian can send her a quick note to make sure she is ok.

I actually did send her an email to check on her, but there was no response.
