First week on Phentermine.
I'm a 25 year old guy that has been overweight for as long as I remember. Back when I graduated high school I weighed 315, I am up to an all time high of 389 (on my doctors scale).
My wife and I are applying for entry into Evangeline Booth College School for Officer Training, which is a seminary type program for The Salvation Army. We are going to be ordained as ministers hopefully in June of 2010 if not then in 2011. We are also expecting our first child in October.
I need to lose weight so that I can be healthy for my future profession, but more importantly, for my wife and my baby!
So far I have lost 14lbs. (on my home scale) and for the last two days I have weighed the same. I hope to wake up tomorrow and see another 1 or 2 pounds down, but I'm kinda concerned it will be the same.
I am eating between 1800 and 2000 calories per day and try to get in 30 minutes of exercise. The last two days I haven't been able to and I think that has something to do with the stall.
I am looking for inspiration from this site, I would like to find out about the successes of some of the men on here but I am having a hard time finding any.
Do you all think 50lbs over the 12 weeks is a reasonable goal?
