hi ya'll and first let me thank you for reading this post.

I will try to make it short and straight to the point to avoid boring u guys to much.

I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and weighed 290lbs. He prescribed me my first 30 day dose of "phen" I avoided filling the prescription until I jumped on the scale yesterday and I was shocked to see it read to me 296.5lbs. My first thought was OMG i did it again...... brief history Dec. 2003 I weighed 320 lbs had the gastric banding surgery and went down to 248lbs right before my wedding day that was 10/23/04. My marriage simply sucked and I fell off the band wagon returning to a weight of 293lbs by the time the divorce came around which was in July 2006, then I met someone new I call him my guardian angel sent from another country lol while on a family vacation, fell in love and began a long distance realtionship in were I found myself traveling often very often so I focused on losing weight for each trip which that helped me go down to 258lbs. I reached a plateu there but at least I maintained that weight for about a year my huney then arrived to the states to live with me March of 2008. I at that time was about 267 lbs. You guys that was only 8mths ago I have gained 30lbs since then and I feel disgusted. I remember feeling so happy in my skin when I was losing the weight this last time around I was almost certain I would have kept the weight off but here I go climbing up that fat ladder again.

I am glad I found this chat room I am motivated and excited and no longer want to keep climbing that ladder but instead I am looking forward to climbing down off of it and never getting back on it again. I really hope this pills give me that extra boost that I need.

Well I plan to write in my forum journal every day and just talk about my feelings and any struggles I hope you guys don't get mad or should I say bored but I am certain you guys will definitly encourage me.

So here goes my first journal entry:
Today I drank lots of water, I ate about 1000 calories and worked out for 45min took one pill this morning and looking forward to tommorow. I hope im able to sleep tonight as I was reading other threads and heard some stories of sleep deprivation but I will let u know tommorrow. Thanks again for reading my entry. Ya'll have a good night!

hi ladies,

zumba is the best thing on the planet i'm telling you.

well for all the journals I read ya'll was not playing when you was talking about the sleep deprivation. It took me a while to go to sleep last night I am usually knocked out by 11pm- 1130pm, but last night was a struggle to fall asleep and then I woke up around 2am and stayed up to at least 4 am I was not happy I need my beauty sleep. I woke up because I could not take it anymore, searching through my medicine cabinet for some sudafed pm but all I found was Ibprofen the bottle did say medicine will make u drowsy and my body did ache a little bit from the zumba so I took one and eventually fell asleep but was up again before my alarm clock even went off. I really hope I don't lose to much sleep cause I can see why people get so irritable its not because of the phen but more cause of the lack of sleep.

well day 2 starts and I plan to take my phen pill at 11am, eat a tangerine for lunch around 2, and have my dinner around 5pm, workout at 7 and call it another day.

Quick question I received an email stating that I had to pay one dollar to continue membership or pay $20 if I did not take advantage of the opportunity. Is this information accurate because I thought the forum was free. Regardless let me know becuase I know one thing I really don't want to do this without u guys and the support from the forum.

Talk to you guys soon! Have a great Day.....
