Maintaining Post Phentermine

17 days Post Phentermine
October 19, 2013

 

I'm excited and somewhat suprised to share that I am maintaining my weight post-Phentermine. Actually I've lost a few pounds since weigh-in 2 weeks ago.  I was a bit concerned with the cravings I experienced when I ended the Phentermine run, but it was all related to PMS I'm certain.  I've managed to still record my daily calories increasing them by a few hundred each day.  Doing so actually suprised me that I'm still losing.  I've allowed myself to indulge in a few sweets, but really not much.  My diet still mainly consists of turkey, chicken, fish, and occasionally beef.  Sugary drinks aside from occasional orange juice are still off limits.  The 5X a week scheduled workouts are proving to still be very challenging, so lately its only been 3 days a week.  My next plan for November will hopefully be to start with a fitness trainer.  I really want to tighten up my arms and flabby stomach. Overall I'm content because I like what I see in the mirror, and it was sooo satisfying having to shop for SMALLER bras and clothing.  My weight has come down from a size 16/18 to a size 10/12 and I love it!  It's also brought about a possible dream job opportunity that I'm PRAYING will work out.  Icing on the cake was that I found a size 10 sheath dress that I've held onto since at least 1995.  The cut is classic so it's really not dated (at least I don't think) lol! I plan on wearing that 18 year old dress tomorrow woooot-woooot!  I've never ever been able to fit it I'm certain since 1996!!  I'll try to post 1996 and the current pics tomorrow!
