Wow - its been way too long. Quick update: school is tough right now - I am studying about 5 hours a day 7 days a week - but it will all be over within the next 3 weeks. I wrap up 2 classes next week and my Physiology final on May 13! Cant wait.

Phen stuff - last week was disappointing - I needed to take a drug test for Tx BON and decided it would be best to not have anything show up - even though Phen is legit, I didnt want to explain it. I bought a home drug test and it was Positive for amphetemines (sp?) so I went off the Phen for a week. And my final test was negative, but during that same week I was studying like crazy and on my period, this all equaled up to 2 pounds :(

Good news is that I have been back on for three days and already lost it. My current weight is 135. I am excercising this time around and I can already see the weight loss is faster when you include the excercise - I know thats common sense, but you know I would try to convince myself that excercise was evil and now I actually enjoy it.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and I cant wait till this semester is over and I have more time to get to know everyone...

Congrats on your progress and getting accepted into the nursing program!! Yay!! lol,Thats odd that you tested positive for amphetimines and I just recently had one done at work when I had my ovarian cyst rupture (y they did it iuno) but it came back negative and im on 37.5mg and its legit from pharmacy and all.

Cant figure out how to change my title - its obvisouslly not Day 1

Only have time for a quick update - I have really been strict on the excercise and watching what for the last 3 days and today I am 133. So excited, I was thinking 125 would be impossible by May 23, now I am thinking I might actually make it, really if I just get to 129 I would feel great. I have to get a lump checked out on my neck today, I'm sure its nothing but since its not going away, I will get it looked at. Other than that, study, read, write history topics and class until 10 tonight... I hope you all are staying healthy and have a great day!

Whoa...finals have had me snowed under. I had to go to my Dr to get a refill last week and it was such a strange experience I have been dying to share with yall. My weight loss put me in a "normal" weight range, so technically they should not prescribe phen to me any longer. But the NP said "where do you feel you still need to loose weight?" and I said my thighs and butt, so she said she needed to document those areas with pics to justify prescribing the phen. I had on a dress and had to lift it up and let her take pics, she asked if I had cellulite, I gladly turned out and showed my dimpled ass and thighs - have to say this was the first time I have been thankful for cellulite! Anyway, she gave me a speech on trying to get to skinny and prescribed it

So, I am down to 132 and at 5'3 - I still dont look "skinny" and I am having a hard time seeing a big difference :( And now I am thinking I would like my goal to be 120 or less...

As I am studying Physiology right now, I am learning exactly whats happening to my body as I take this. And I do realize its not healthy. I think it makes sense when a person is considered obese and there is a greater benefit of weight loss that outweighs the negatives of what the phen is doing. I sure hope everyone is taking a multi vitamin, because when you are on this, you need it more than ever. Especially Calcium, I notice that my muscles are constantly "tensed", even when I rest, I am not "at rest" physiologically. Muscle contraction requires Calcium and if there is not enough in your plasma, then it will come out of your bones. But our bodies are always adjusting CA levels and will make up for it when there is an influx, in fact its constantly changing thru absportion and reabsorption. Pretty cool! The thing that is the most scary is the heart palpitations. I know these are not healthy and I worry about long term damage. A great way to learn about what exactly is going on is to google sympathetic nervous system diet pills. Phen works by putting you in constant "fight or flight" mode. Not trying to scare anyone here, its just something that I am thinking alot about right now. And I am little peeved with myself that continue doing it to myself. Why cant just diet and excercise work for me? I have tryed, believe me, the more I would excercise, the hungrier I would be. Phen keeps that in check for me.

I will take phen thru the end of may and hopefully break out of the 130's. I dont think I will get to 125 for Hawaii, but I will be closer And then I will break from Phen, look for natural appetite suppresents and keep trying to get my weight down.

back to the books
