Week 1
Weighed myself this morning. Have lost almost 3 kilos! (2.9) :scream: While on my morning walk my boss rang and wanted me to start earlier. This meant my day was a bit hectic. Luckily I had prepped my lunch so I just had to grab it. I’m not hungry at all. Breakfast: 1/2 serve of shake with...

Back again
It has been a long time since I have posted here. I have been very busy with a new career and busy life. Unfortunately my weight has crept up and I have gained back about half of the weight I lost. It has been over two years since I first had Duromine so I am going to visit my GP tomorrow and...

Quick rant about my experience on Wednesday with the pharmacy. My GP wrote me a script for three months (two repeats) of Duromine and I took it to my local Priceline. The pharmacist filled my order, I paid and took it home. When I opened my bag there was no repeat script. As I have worked in a...

Month 6+
Hello again! It has been a while since my last post. While I spent the best part of the past 12 months maintaining my weight at around 80 - 85 kilos (down from 117 kilos), the past couple of months I have let some bad habits creep back in. :oops: My portion sizes have slowly crept up and I have...

Month 1
WOW! What a difference a year can make! It has been twelve months since I made the decision to go to my GP and do something about my weight. This is a decision I will NEVER REGRET. I was READY and, this time, it worked. In the past year I have learned a lot about myself and I have become so...

Weighed in yesterday and was 80.3 kg. Not bad. 0.95 kg loss this week. That makes a total of 36.7 kilos gone. Had to go and buy new work pants yesterday. Was pretty thrilled that a size 14 is comfortable. It is the excess fold of skin on my belly that is the only reason I don't get size 12...

A loss of 1.65 kg this week. The graph is on a consistent downwards trend again and I am back in the groove. This is wonderful news following three very flat months. I have lost 4 kilos in 4 weeks and if I keep this up I will be very pleased. Weight is now 81.25 kg and my total weight loss is...

Hi, my name is Sharon and it has been five weeks since my last blog post....:oops: Yep... I have been AWOL. Things here have been crazy and I have only been weighing myself every 3 weeks. Good news is that I have continued to lose weight. Slowly, but at least I have not gained. I am now 82.9...

After too many average weeks, with lack of motivation and several hiccups, I have finally had some success at getting things back on track, :D. The secret for me is to go back to being accountable. That means, having a plan, setting goals and writing things down, until I get a feeling of being...

New scales work a charm. Have lost another kilo.... and, NO, it is not the new scales, as I actually weighed a bit heavier when I first got them. :p I am now 84.55 kg. Haha... two decimal places. Who really needs two decimal places?? I might take that back actually. The going is so slow I might...

Last week I returned to see the endocrinologist. Had blood tests last week and my GP office was sent copies. I was concerned because they rang me twice to get me to come in to review the results :confused: but I told them the tests were ordered by the specialist and was going to review the...

I inherited a cold from my daughter. :confused: My throat hurts and I can barely talk. :mad: I have been having comfort food, with little exercise. Did not weigh yesterday or today. Have been too miserable and I shudder to think what the scales are going to say. Will try to turn it around and...

Success stories
I finally went and bought myself some new pants. I HATE shopping for pants. Six months ago I was squeezing into a size 20 from Autograph (a plus size store) The style is my favourite as it is a plain pant and has a nice stretchy, comfortable fabric, in black. Goes with everything. I wear them...
