If only it was that easy
"Why not just make a life style change, stick to it and then you won't need surgery?" Really! Why didn't I think of that? I could have saved 10 years of my fat years if I only thought of that before now. Number of times I've heard that to date since my big choice. Twice. I'm sure it won't be the last. If it was that easy I would have done it already. Everytime I've lost weight I've put it back on plus more. I need to do this. I want to do this. I'm going to do it. Jump on the support me train or get left at the station and hold your thoughts and opion to yourself please :)

Month 1
Check in with Dr. Love. Current weight 281. That's down 1.1 pounds from last month. (It's the little things that matter) My blood pressure was good. I'm going to start on a half dose of phentermine a day for the next month and see if that helps my appetite and boost my metabolism. We also talk about the 5 No's again and he said No means NO. Whole grain is not allowed. If I'm going to eat anything a small potato would be okay because it will fill me but not cause the up and down cravings bread or pasta will.
We also discussed my goal weight. He said that between the next 6 months, exercises, maintaining a 1400 calorie diet, controlling my insulin, and weight loss surgery I should be able to reach 140 with no problem. He then went on to say that based on my height 180 would probably be a good weight. It still think that sounds high and too close to 200 for me. I would like to be around 160.
So, here goes my 2nd month. I'm hoping to use the elliptical more. 100 calorie burn is what we are aiming for our 1 mile a day. And control my food intake. Wish me luck!

Day 2 Nate's Body by Vi
Current weight 208.8
His goal 175
He is on day 2 of a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch. He is adding frozen fruit to the shakes and they are deliscious. He said they were alright. But to him everything is alright. He needs to buy some healthy snack for inbetween breakfast and lunch but other than that I think he's good to go. We are coming up to the hardest part to me which is the weekend. I wonder how he's going to do or what he's going to do if we are out and about. I know he can stick with this and drop those pounds quickly. He's even showed some interest in the treadmill! I'm so very proud of him and he's motivating me to get my act together.
