br!na's weightloss diary

I know you're doing what you need to do. I was just making the point that you had to pills or not.

My lack of patience when it came to weightloss is horrible. That's why I've given up the scale all together. As long as you eat right and get your exercise you can leave the scale as long as you like and still lose weight.
 
Quercus- im addicted to the scale. Lol I weigh constantly throughout the day.

I went to the Dr and discussed my weightloss problems with her. She put me on Phentermine. I can only take it 3 months in a year. She told me to take it for two months, then come back so she could do blood work, and check my heart and blood pressure and if everything is okay, I can take it for another month. So, we will see how it works out. I'm really hoping with my diet and exercise it will give me the little push I need.

Yesterday we celebrated my godson's first birthday! It was wonderful! He was so happy! And when we gave him cake, he went crazy! Lol View attachment 21806

Okay you guys! I hope everyone is keeping up with their goals and staying on track!! Have a good Monday!! :)
 
While personally I don't want to take diet pills it really is a personal choice. I think I'm more scared of the side effects and worried that when I stop I will gain everything back. I have been tempted to get the quick loss thinking maintenance will be easier but I haven't yet.

With you I hope it does what you need. You are still eating proper and exercising which is VERY important and perhaps after the 2-3 months you won't need it any more and can go back to just the diet and exercise.

I'm sorry to hear about Cukiee. I hope she passed painlessly in her sleep, it's really all you can hope for. Do you think you will get another dog?
 
SlimFast was like a diet pill for me. I think it had some kind of stimulant/appetite suppressant in it. I lost weight on it, but then I gained it back shortly after stopping the SF. If you can build healthy habits while on the pills for a few months, that would be ideal!
 
Icy- thanks! The pills haven't done much. Before starting them, I had gained back to 189. Even with eating right and exercise. When I started the pills, the number started dropping. After a few days, I was back to 184. But then it stopped and I'm stuck at 184 again. It's so frustrating! But I don't know what else to do. All i can do is continue my exercise and continue to eat right and hope that eventually my body will catch up and drop the weight.
I will not be getting another dog. We have Sofie here at our apartment. She's our miniature schnauzer. And we don't need any other animals. I hope Cukiee passed while sleeping as well. I didn't think she did because her eyes were open when found. But someone said that her eyes would have opened after death anyways. She's still missed daily. I had a very strong bond with her. And it almost killed me to lose her. But I have felt her presence around me. And I like to think she's trying to let me know she's okay. And that she's happy. I have caught a glimpse of what looks like her tail wagging out of the corner of my eye. And I think Sofie has seen her as well.

I'm sick again. This is the second time within a couple of weeks. I've spent all day in bed. I hate that with fibro, even a cold knocks me on my ass. But all I can do is stay home and try to take care of myself.

We have about 6 inches of snow and ice outside. We tried to go get my BFF and her daughter when it first started. And we ended up in a ditch on the way back. Luckily our friend came and pulled us out. We were only out there about 2 hours. And we've stayed home since then. That scared me from trying to drive in it. lol

I hope you guys are all staying warm and being safe!!
 
I'm glad you are feeling her presence still and feel she is happy where she is. Sometimes even if it's just your mind playing tricks it can help you move forward and give you closure. Not that I'm saying it's in your mind. Personally I believe in ghosts, I just never want to witness it myself because I think I'd be scared shitless.

Yikes about the snow! It's supposed to snow tonight/tomorrow, but going to +9 on Saturday apparently. If it does I REALLY need to wash my car, it is HORRIBLE!

Hope you feel better and stay warm and safe inside!
