luvxander08/22/05 - 346 lbs.
09/19/05 - 335 lbs.
-------------------------
Total - 11 lbs.
I'm quiet pleased with myself.
I didn't report on this to the audience at large when it first happened, because I didn't want to get my own hopes up any. Well, I still don't wanna get my hopes up, but I feel really good today, so I'm going to share.
A month ago, exactly, I had to go back to my doctor for a regular checkup and we discussed my weight loss issues. She told me that when I'd first gone to see her, she'd run as many tests on me as medically possible and saw no medical reason why I couldn't lose the weight. After explaining to her everything I'd tried on my own, and failed at, she gave me a perscription for Adipex, a diet pill that's basically just an appetite suppresant.
I've been taking my Adipex daily for a month now and have lost 12 pounds to date. And this was without any special dieting or exercise at all. Imagine what I'd lose if I walked a couple blocks after dinner each night. Not to mention if I cut out all my sodas. Wait, not ALL my soda. I'm fat, not insane. But maybe I could switch to diet? There's the new Coke Zero out that has zero carbs, zero calories, and zero caffeine. And it tastes good, too. That's what I've been drinking at work, except for the occassional Dr. Pepper..
All in all, I feel pretty happy about the results. She updated my perscription to give me 2 more months worth of refills, then I have to go back to her. I forgot to ask about stopping in now and then to weigh on her scales. I read somewhere that it's best to always use the same scales and I don't want to have to wait 2 months to know if I've lost any more. Would be helpful if I were the kind of fat that can tell when some of it's gone. Unfortunately, I lose one layer, there're several more waiting and they all look alike.
That's all for now. Partly cause my fingers are cramping up, but mostly because I have one more disc left on Stargate SG1 season 7 and I want to get it finished so I can concentrate on Desperate Housewives when it comes in.
Later, guys.

Date: 2005-09-19 12:51 pm (UTC)WAY TO GO!!! I'm very happy for you!
I'm dieting myself and lost 12 pounds at the cottage (I was there for ten weeks). My husband just found out he has Diabetes 2, so I'm trying to follow his diet for my basic eating. I eat a FEW more treats, but try not to take too many.
And believe me! Sodas have TONS of wasted calories. I've been drinking Diet Coke for years and you get so used to the taste that Coke with sugar tastes awful!
I wish you all the VERY best of luck in your endeavors! !!!

I'll buy your movie ticket when we go out next then, mmkay?
I totally did not recognize you when you called at work today. I thought it sounded SIMILAR to you, but I didn't want to be all "HEY CARL!" only to have someone be like "Umm...who the heck is Carl?"
'cause that would have just been embarrassing.
Suncoast has the box set of Fraggle Rock. How weird is that? I feel all nostalgic for my childhood now.

Just sayin.
