Newbie: Duromine 15mg

Hi baybboo
Wow your journey is so similar to mine, it's a scary but exciting journey to take and I wish you all the best!!!
I started duromine 15mg Tuesday this week and am down 3.5kg already in just 4 days. Which for me is amazing as even on strict shake programs I have failed to lose anything at all over 2 whole weeks.

You've already done really well on your own so your going to kick butt now

ME....
Height: 162cm
Starting Weight: 88.5kg
Goal Weight: 65kg
Current Weight: 85

 

Definitely sounds like a great idea we can motivate each other

I have been getting the dry mouth too which is annoying but it forces me to drink at least 2lt water a day and I hate water haha. I have given up my diet coke I didn't really plan to but it just doesn't taste good anymore so another good side effect. I have a few restless nights this week, I did get at least 6 hours a night though just tossed and turned and had busy dreams waking up a few times. I don't really get the extra energy but I do find once I get into something like cleaning I go crazy. I'm finding that by 3 in the arvo I feel exhausted so I'm having a berrocca at 2 which seems to help. I'm trying to eat 1200 calories a day tracking on myfitness pal too but have only been able to eat 800 - 1000. I've cut out most of the bad stuff like takeaways, bread, ice cream but have still been having a bit of chocolate most days just a Freddo or something and I'm satisfied with that

I'm terrible with the scales I've been weighing in everyday but after Tuesday I'm going to try hard to go a full week as I'm sure the weightloss will slow down a bit now - I lost another 300g this morning

At my heaviest I was 95kg, I managed to get down to 75kg in 2010 by cutting my food down to 1200/1300 calories and walking at least 45 mins or going to the gym for an hour 5 or 6 days a week. It was hard work and took a whole year so I am so disappointed in myself to have gotten back up to 88.5kg, I slowly stopped the exercise and the bad food crept back in. I'm getting married next September so I'm determined to get to my goal by may for dress shopping and of coarse for the big day and the rest of my life.

Oh and I'm in Perth too

 

Hi Baybboo! I am writing to you as reading your intro felt like I had written it!! I was 92 this year, mid this year I had gotten myself down to about 85, but then have hovered there for the past few months no matter how well i eat or how often i go to the gym... its a real emotional struggle!!
However your goal weight is alot smaller than mine... i mean i wont say no to that but i also am aiming for something around the 70's i guess... i know once i get there i will want to be smaller... but 70 is a happy place for me.

How are you feeling on the 15s? Have you had many side effects? Dry mouth, sleepless nights, heart palps?
I started on the 30's and have felt fine... thinking of going to the 40's in a week... hmmm.... but I did have initial side effects... wondering if i will get a new dose of side effects when I trade up

I also joined for buddies and to keep me inspired and motivated!!

Good luck and keep posting

 

Isnt the water drinking thing incredible... im a water hater too when im off D but when Im on it... i dont guzzle it like other posters but i can certainly take well more...

The food tracking sounds like its going great!! I love food tracking, get a bit obsessed sometimes, but it keeps me honest, motivated and commited!

Jambrodes your weightloss is going REALLY well!! and good on you for 'treating' yourself to a choccy a day... we have to keep this real otherwise we are more likely to blow it!!

I also need a berocca some days, i was concerned at the start about how this would interact with the D but I have felt fine with no real difference

I am in Adelaide, BUT was in Perth just this May and I LOVED IT!! when we came back we SERIOUSLY discussed relocating!

Hope your happy that I post to you both?

 

Welcome 'WoringHardToBeLean' great to have another blogger come aboard

I know what you mean about the food tracking I get obsessive too haha, but it keeps me honest and gives me something to do instead of eat.

I hope you've had a few better sleeps baybboo, nothing worse that being tired but your mind won't shut up!

I had a bad couple of days was feeling a bit moody and down so I took a day off on Monday which proved to be the right thing I feel much better now I got a great nights sleep on both Monday & Tuesday night and wasn't even hungry all day without duromine, so maybe it stayed in my system long enough to suppress my appetite for 2 days. So I've decided I'll take a couple of days off a week and see how I go with my weightloss, I'm hoping for a 1kg/week loss.

How are both doing?

 

My weigh in day is Tuesday - I'm only going to weigh in weekly now (hopefully I'll be strong enough)
Are you weighing in Saturday baybboo?


Starting Weight: 88.5kg
Goal Weight: 65kg

WEEK 1: 84.4kg (-4.1kg)

 

Thanx baybboo, I still can't believe it, it would normally take me 2 months to lose that much I've been really good not weighing in everyday, I'm sure loss will slow down which is ok as I'm more likely to keep it off if it takes longer.
So.... how did you go weighing in today? I can't wait to hear

I'm the same as you not feeling like I'm even on anything but I'm not as hungry as I normally am which is great. I'll prob look into changing over to 30mg next month depending on how the next few weeks go.

 

Hey J,
You had a pretty good weight loss in week one! so is tomorrow week 2 weigh in? Fingers crossed for you!
And yes, i also agree that it stays in your system enough to do day on , day off... however my doc wanted me to do all in one straight go.
Starting on 40mgs today... will see how i go, my weight loss is still REALLLLLLY slow, which is really discouraging some days but then on others cos i am use to it going slow when i get a lose i am happy and i know its gonna stay gone.

So today im happy with it cos i reached my 10kilos loss over the weekend and its stayed at the same weigh all weekend til monday... so if weight can stay off on the weekend it can stay off for life!!

 

GOOD DAY LADIES

baybboo, YOUR INTRO WAS JUST LIKE MY STORY. I've been struggling to loose weight for about 4-5yrs. 16th December 2011 i got married and i weighted 83kg and even though i was the happiest woman alive to be marrying my wonderfull husband whom loves me just the way i am or just the was i was! i wasn't happy at all with myself and my body, on 1st January 2012 i went to the gym as my new years resolution i wanted to get into shape (these normally didn't last). when i Got on the Scale at the Gym i nearly cried i was at my heaviest weight ever 86-87kg. it was then that i decided to change my life and started eating healthier. In February i was still at the same weight. i then discussed it with my doctor and she prescribed DUROMINE 15mg.

SO IN FEBRUARY 2012 I STARTED MY AMAZING DUROMINE EXPERIENCE:
i loved it, i was feeling positive, energetic, full of life and happy. i was on the duromine 15mgs about 2months and 1 month on the 30mg. The side effects werent all good but: dry mouth, weak bladder, lots of water intake,headaches, etc WAS WORTH THE WORTH EVERY MOMENT. By MAY i reached MY goal weight, i weighed 70kgs when i finished my 3 months on duromine and i stopped Duromine.

FROM May to November i lost 2kgs on my own but gained it again in december.. my ideal weight should be 65kgs but i'd like to be 60-63kgs.

I'VE GONE BACK ONTO DUROMINE 15MG ON THE 4TH DECEMBER, SO TODAY IS MY DAY 2.

I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO MAKE NEW BUDDIES THAT CAN MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE.

ADD ME ON bbm: 299b8215 I'd like to keep in contact with you ladies.
