So I started taking Duromine on Monday 15/09/2014 and so far the side effects has really not been that bad. I went for blood test last week (while getting my Duromine script) and got the results back. Discovered that my thyroid is a bit underactive, cholesterol is high (but this is not so bad because it is actually the good cholesterol that is high) and that my insulin levels is also high even though my sugar levels is perfectly normal, which shows I am insulin intolerant :(. It is a good thing that I had the test done as this explains quite a few symptoms I’ve been having. So on meds for the next month for the thyroid but hopefully losing the weight (with the help of Duromine of course) will lower my insulin levels. Will test again in 6 months.
Had a sneak peak this morning at the scale and so far I’m down 3kg :)! This loss together with the not so welcome blood test results really has me motivated to have a good look at the way I life and the choices I make regarding food and exercise.

I'm feeling your pain. I too had blood tests when I started and everything was fine except my thyroid. My GP has referred me to an endocrinologist and I can't get in to see him until the middle of November. The thyroid mess should also help with your weight loss. I hope you have success.

So, week one done and dusted. Saturday and Sunday did not go well at all with regards to dieting. Had some very difficult conversation with people which left me sad and emotional. And true to my myself I indulged in food to comfort me, but I must say not as much as usual (which of course doesn't make it ok). I must learn to deal with my emotions instead of shoving them down with a portion of food. So let this be a lesson learned for the weeks and months to come on this journey.
