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!
