I was asked in an email if I'm still losing weight using the diet pills I'm taking.
I was planning on doing weekly updates every Friday, because I don't like being obsessed with the scale, but because I was asked, I'll share.
The answer is yes.
My starting weight was 190, and I'm now down to 178, so a total weight-loss of 12lbs.
Not too shabby eh?
I'm still going for daily walks, and I am using my elliptical just not using the hand poles, the skiing motion. I rest my hands on the stable bars in front of me, and that way I'm not jerking my shoulder around seeing as we still don't know what's wrong with it, and won't know until August 5th when I go see my surgeon.
I am still very pleased with these diet pills, they are still keeping my appetite in control, I'm not gorging myself on snacks at night which truth be told, was my downfall.
At night after dinner, I would eat 3-4 cookies around 7:30pm, and then around 9pm, a bowl of ice cream if the boys asked for some, or some chips and dip if one of the teens brought it out to the living room to snack on and watch a little tube.
I'm not munching on anything at night anymore, so I think that's a huge part of my weight-loss.
Also, I know this is kinda gross, but when you are constantly taking opiate pain relievers, your bowels get a little backed up.
The combination of vitamins and green tea and other stuff in them, has actually helped make the constipation go away.
Yeah, gross, I know, *laughs* but it's HUGE news when I can poop every day!

Haha I know what you mean though---with just the week of samples I tried, I noticed improvement in stomach problems I'd been having.
Good for you; I am jealous! And hey, constipation makes me one cranky bitch. So I know what a good thing it is to not have to deal with it constantly!
