phentermine weigh-in, week 1

today i weighed in for my first week on phentermine. i lost 4.6 pounds! and, i’m down 0.4 pounds from last friday, which is my officials weigh-in day. i know that’s not a lot, but i’m confident i’ll have a bigger loss on friday. for now, though, i’m proud of my phentermine weigh-in. i wanted a full 5 pounds, but that’s close enough. i’ve also been good for the first two days of this week keeping my calorie intake at 1,200 or lower. i try not to be too much under 1,200. i’m sure that’s contributing to my loss. if i can lose that much every week i’ll be at my goal weight before my two months are up!

results

162.2

i am finally seeing results, thanks to the adipex my doctor put me on. i started on tuesday, and by thursday i was still at 166.4. considering women in the forum said they lost 4+ pounds in the first two days, i was bummed. but, on friday i was down to 164.2, a loss for the week. i can’t remember if i was at 166.4 or 165 last week, but either way i was down. today, i was down to 162.2. i weighed myself again tonight, and it was up, but i have to remember it will usually be higher at night. i really need to stop weighing myself every day, but if i can stop weighing myself twice a day i’ll count that as progress for now.

still going

i’ve reached the point where i don’t even want to exercise anymore. i see the same number on the scale every day despite eating well and working out regularly, and it just makes me feel like i’m wasting my time. i’m not a big fan of working out anyway. i do it because i know i need to to be healthy and lose weight, but when it’s been several months and the scale hasn’t budged at all it really makes me want to throw in the towel.

i just don’t know what to do anymore. my doctor didn’t have any answers for me besides going on adipex for a couple of months to see if that increases my metabolism. my thyroid test was normal, and even my hormone leves for pcos looked normal. if there’s nothing wrong with me and i’m doing everything right then what’s the problem? i feel myself sinking more and more into depression.

but, as i said, i’ve plugged along with the exercise. i did 50 minutes on the bike today plus weights and abs, 20 minutes on the bike yesterday and weights (i had to take one of the cats to the vet so i had to cut it short), and 50 minutes on tuesday with weights and abs. again, i’m doing my part. i just wish my body would do its.
