Buddy Round-Up w/ daily check in... - Phentermine.com

SHess2004 · July 2nd, 2008, 02:56 PM

To help make this journey easier I decided to start a thread for those of you who are interested in checking in with others on a daily basis to help keep you on track.

I know a few of us have already buddied up and I would like to invite others to join as well.

This thread is dedicated to supporting each other, checking in to keep ourselves accountable, and to share tips. I think we should also weigh in once a week. What do you think?

Anyhow a little about me...

My name is Shannon. I'm a stay at home mom with three kids and a fab hubby. My youngest child is 2 years old and I've been having a heck of a time lossing weight since I had him. I started 2008 at 186lbs. On my own I have dropped 12lbs. I started Phen-D on June 23 at 174lbs. I had my first weigh in on June 30. I lost nothing my first week. Let me just say that I didn't try that hard either because I was on vacation for 5 out of the 7 days. Currently, I'm taking this lifestyle change one day at a time. I'm completely focusing on making the right choices just for today. I am eating natural and organic foods with lots of water. No alcohol! That one might hurt on the weekends, although it will be worth it. And I'm exercising everyday. I'm starting with a brisk 30 minute walk a day. Next week I'll add more. Ok... so thats me in a nutshell.

What about you?

SHess2004 · July 3rd, 2008, 10:57 AM

Hey and welcome ladies! Glad you decided to join us.

Well I thought I would check in since I have some time this morning. I did pretty good yesterday with my food. Not perfect but nothing to cry over either. I spent the day pretty much getting settled back in from vacation. You know the routine: laundry, cleaning, etc. Sadly though I was not able to get on my treadmill yesterday. I was too exhausted by the time the last kiddo went to bed. But since it is recommended to work out at least 3xs a week, I'm not gonna get upset over missing one day.

So my goals for today are to do a brisk 30 minute walk on the treadmill, super strict with food today, and doing some ab work. If I'm reading the scale correctly (kinds hard to focus on all those little lines first thing in the morning) I have lost 5lbs. But I'm gonna wait for my weigh in at my docs office for an offical number. I also have lost 2 1/2 inches from my waist.

I should have taken my measurements right before starting but I didn't, OOOPPPSSS!!! Although, I kinda remember what my waist size was. So I'm doing a little guessing here.

How is everyone else doing? Is anyone taking Phen-D? How about B-12, B-6, and/or hCG shots?

taltajada · July 3rd, 2008, 07:57 PM

checking in like promised...well today i worked 12 hours 6am. 6pm. I do physical labor. lifting, bending, walking. so i get a pretty good work out there but when i am off that's when i do my brisk walking. I am way to exhausted to do anything after those long hours on my feet.. haven't taken my measurements yet. i did good with my eating yesterday for the first time EVER! yeah me and i followed up with it today. I eat a lot of fruit. it fills me up and gives me a good poop.lol. talk to ya tomorrow

trishri30 · July 4th, 2008, 08:53 AM

hope everyone has a good 4th

JustCallMeTan · July 4th, 2008, 09:41 AM

Well this a cool thred to have, because some ladies get lost in the shuffle of the threds.

My name is Tanya, but all my friends call me Tan hence the screen name Justcallmetan . I am 35 single with no Kida. I work full time as a unit clerk for Kindred hospital. I have been there for about 4 years.I have a toy poodle her name is Troule and the name fits her. I have been on phen since Dec, 07. I have lost a lil of 60 pounds.

SHess2004 · July 4th, 2008, 01:45 PM

WOW! You lost 60 pounds since Dec. Congrats on all the hard work and great success you are having. You look fab!

Daily Check-In: I did good yesterday with my food. I took my big ol' barrel of water and a snack with me as I was running errands which really saved me. I did eat one chocolate chip cookie yesterday but I'm not gonna cry over it. As low as my calories are I could afford myself one cookie and stay on track. I'm very proud of myself though that I did not have more than one. I didn't even eat any of the batter as I was making them. Shocking, I know. As far as exercise, I went above and beyond my goal for yesterday. I jumped onto the treadmill and went for 45 minutes. I was also doing circuits with on there. Where you increase your speed and incline every minute then take it back down, then back up, etc. I was dripping sweat and soaked my shirt by the time I got off. I was great!!!

Today I do not plan on exercising because of the chaos of the holiday and fireworks tonight. Although, I do plan on taking my own food to our BBQ and fireworks show tonight. I weigh in on Monday at the docs office. I've been sssooo good this week I know its going to pay off.

Have a safe and fun 4th of July. Be careful on the roads.

JustCallMeTan · July 4th, 2008, 03:18 PM

yeppers 60, right now i am a lil over 60 like 62. I am holding around that because I have not really beem doing what I should be. But I just got back on track this past week.

Daoly check in: Yester was a great day I was good on my diet went to the gym for an hour. Starting monday I am going to make some changes in in my diet and work out.. I am going to start drinking fat free milk hmmmm not realy sure about that one. and I am now adding weigts to my gym time. I think I may cut back my daily intake to 1,100 I am taking in about 1,200 as of right now hmmm we will see.

taltajada · July 4th, 2008, 07:39 PM

check check- today i hate fairly descent of course i was at work all day (12hrs) had turkey sausage jambalayia for breakfast one serving..he he and had fruit salad for lunch...dinner i just had cereal..that's backwards huh..and only took a half of phen. my physical is on the job..don't have much left outta me energy wise after 12 long hours

SHess2004 · July 5th, 2008, 06:45 PM

Daily Check-In: So far today I have been great. Staying right on point and I do not even feel the need to snack. That is a change for me. I will have to workout this evening though. I need to get into the habit of working out in the morning while everyone is still asleep.

As for yesterday, I did mostly good. I stayed on top of my water and eating lots of veggies and a little fruit. Although, I did have one chip and a piece of fried chicken. I only had two choices for protein yesterday since we were out for the fireworks. I could have a piece of friend chicken or I could have nothing. And since I needed protein I ate a reasonable size piece of chicken.

I am surprised everyday that I get on the scale and measure my waist. The numbers keep going down. I will give my offical weigh in on Monday when I weigh in at the docs.

Keep up the great work ladies.

SHess2004 · July 6th, 2008, 10:27 PM

Check-In Sunday June 6th:

I did 45 minutes of walking/jogging on my treadmill. I also varied the incline from 1.5 to 8. I worked up a great sweat. I also used some free weights today. Nothing too major but I plan on adding free weights into my routine starting tomorrow. Then I will be able to cut down on my cardio.

Food wise I did good today. I actually had no appitite for most of the day. I ate some grilled chicken mid morning and that was it till dinner. I have been avoiding carbs this week without even realizing it so I had a dinner with pasta and some garlic bread. I could tell during my workout today that my muscles were depleted.

I have weigh in tomorrow so I will post my weight tomorrow.
