So Dan said I should have been writing all of my crazy new weight loss down but I haven't been so I am sorry! I had started out the new year determined to loose weight this year. But after a lot of work and dieting and no results I was VERY frustrated! Some people had said I should check my thyroid or see what else could be wrong. SO Dan and I went to the Dr. to ask some questions and do an exam. Dan went first and asked a bunch of questions and the Dr. said loose weight ( actually talked for a while bu that was the sum it up version!). Then it was my turn. I asked about a bunch of things and in the end it was the same answer, weight loss! I said I had been trying with no success and Dan vouched for me. He said something about checking my thyroid and if I was interested he could prescribe me a pill. Now I know some of you are probably anti pills, but I was desperate and needed something drastic! SO I had already been thinking about trying a pill and so I said, "Sweet!!!". Dan and I talked about it when we came home and weighed the costs of taking a pill and what the side affects could or would be. I promised myself and him if I noticed anything strange or worry some in the first few days I would stop!
a week later I took the first pill. It had been a bad sleepless night so I didn't feel very good and was unsure if it was the pill or being a mom. SO I took it the next day and felt great. I noticed a MAJOR change in appetite after taking it which was what I was wanting!
Anyway to fast forward almost a month I have lost 13lbs. I have been working hard with taking the pill. I work out everyday and overall have given up sugar and eat very healthy now. The Dr. did talk about how sometimes it has just a placebo affect with people. I would say that I new if I was serious enough to take a pill I needed to do as much as I could to make it work! So I try really hard everyday to make a difference. I have stopped taking the pills for a couple of days with no side effects. I also have the same appetite on and off the pill. So maybe the pill is just a boost for me in my journey!
Anyway We have a major trip planned to California in April and I am hoping to surpass my goal by then. I started again in jan at 211lbs, and this morning I was 198!! It is great to be out of the 200's! I also watch EVERY weight loss show on TV to stay motivated! Biggest loser is the best ( SAM is HOT!), but celebrity fit club and kirsty Ally's big life are some of the other fun ones for me!
SO I am not endorsing pills or saying they solve it all but it was what I needed in MY journey to a better and healthier weight! Oh by the way my thyroid is perfect!
