Hallo Nadia

I am also first time mum, i had my baby 6 months ago i gained lots of weight during pregnancy that wasnt normal at all, but i also suffer from PCOS i was lucky enough to gave my little joy. I ve been through a lot of things in life, and when iam stressed and depressed my weight keeps going up. I recently visited a Endocrinologist, she tolled me after giving birth the Pcos gets worse and it really hard to lose weigh and of course i cant eat any carbs because my body doesnt know how to process carbs the right way. My gp suggested Duromine , i lost 6 kg so far iam already 3 weeks on Duromine dont have any side effects only dry mouth, just remember you gotta eat healthy this isnt a magic pill and if you dont eat it can effect your body really badly so you gotta use it the right way.

Since i ve been on it i dont have any sweet cravings at all, sometimes i would have special k biscuit with coffee, i have my breakfast every morning , oats yugurt banana - sometimes cereal or eggs.i take Duromine early in the morning at 5 am, so that i can sleep even thou i dont get much sleep my little one keeps me going. Lol. I have Lunch i take Optislim shake or salad with tuna i gotta eat all the leafy stuff veggies salad and lean meat , gotta cut my carbs. Mostly at Dinner time i dont feel as hungry i have Slimshake or soupe gotta eat something , you dont want to starve your body. Sometimes i feel hungry at times , but i dont eat as much i drink lots of water anyways you will because you will have dry mouth water water all the time. Lol. So far iam doing okay, iam on Duromine 30 , i will visit my gp in about 1 -2 weeks to see if iam going to stay on 30 or increase to 40 mg, i have lots of weight to lose.

Start weight :95
Current : 89
Goal : 65

Good Luck

Hi Nadia.
I have never been a mommy so wouldn't really know about the extra weight gain during pregnancy but I can share a bit of my story as well.

I am 24 and at my heaviest I weighed 146.8kg - shocking I know lost a few kg's and I started on Duromine on 19/05/2014 and weighed in at 138.9kg. It's has been 8 weeks later and I have gone down to 119.5kg (Total Loss of 19.4kg and 58cm all round)

Still a long way to go before my goal of 75Kg but I work at it every day.

Good Luck with your journey. Post a few blogs so you can keep us all updated on your weight loss.

Hi Nadia,
SW 80kg
GW 60kg
Length: 1.65
I started on Sunday morning forgot to measure myself well it is never to late to do so.
I can see my stomach is not so big any more.
I'm eating healthy but don't exercise yet must make a serious plan regarding that.

 

How I lost...... To start with, I have a LOT to lose. I think, it is harder to have big losses if you don't have a lot to lose. Also. I had a huge loss the first week. I think my body was in shock. The last few weeks have been about 1-2 kg losses. I'm on 30mg Duromine and eating about 1000 calories a day. I have Lite'n'easy for breakfast and lunch. I put it all in a lunch box and that is my food for the day. Then for dinner I have a VERY small serve of whatever I am serving up the rest of the family (about 1/4 of what I would normally eat) on a small side plate. The D makes me feel full. Sometimes I forget to eat lunch. Check out my blog.

My journey starts on Monday. My husband works away and is home this weekend, I wanted him to be home when I started... Just so that everything is ok. I have the 30mg script for a month and the doc will review after that. I am all for the blogging idea when I start. At the moment I am in serious 'prep' mode ha ha

 

For your 'prep' you should make sure you read some of the blogs. especially the first weeks of people's journeys.
I did and it helped me heaps. Lip balm was one thing I made sure I had because the dry mouth was a killer. I even had a throat lozenge one night. Everyone is different and I picked up a lot of tips and was prepared for what was to come.

 

Hi Nadia, I'm Liz. I am 31, married with a 4yr old son & 2yr old daughter. I have struggled ever since having my son to lose weight. I too got Pnd & still take medication for it. I am very active, go to the gym at least 4x pw but had such bad sugar cravings and never felt satisfied. My husband works away so I would eat of boredom at night etc.
I have been taking D for 6days.
