The start of my Journey to Losing Weight!! (brief intro)




After having two kids, I just gained weight and more weight and more weight. I am now ready to take control and be able to live a healthy life. So, here is the start of my journey to losing weight. My ultimate weight goal is to lose 118 lbs.
I went to Rapid Weight Loss Clinic for the first time on (Wednesday)February 3, 2010 and the doctor prescribed me Adipex. I took them in the past and didn’t have any problems. When I got home I didn’t take any pills that day. I decided to start the next day.
So, the next day, which is 2/4, I took my first Adipex pill before 12pm. I did not eat anything that day and nor was I hungry and I also did not exercise. I did feel a little funny and my vision felt kind of heavy like.
On Thursday 2/5, I took another Adipex pill around 12pm. I did not eat anything nor was I hungry. This is my first day exercising. I got on the treadmill for 30 minutes (dist 1.135 and cal 191). I also got on the ab climber and did 1004 steps. I really have to get use to the ab climber, its definitely a work out. As I get use to exercising I will increase the workout and shoot to lose more calories. But, for starting out, I will get on the treadmill for 30 minutes everyday and do 1000 steps on the air climber everyday. If I happen to miss a day, I will have to do doubles that following day.
And I already know that not eating/starving myself is not healthy. I know this. I know I need at least 1200 calories a day and should work off 600. But, only for the starting of things, I will not eat anything just liquids. I will do this for probably a week or two. I feel my body need to get use to not eating as much and I think this is the way to start and will help me to eat smaller portions when I do began eating. And what I realized since I been taking these pills is that I haven't been hungry at all. It's when I see food or smell it, I just want it just to want it because I am not even hungry. So, thats what made me realize that my biggest problem was that I just had been eating just to eat.
**And also know that I have went in the past without eating (trying to lose weight) and wasn't taking any diet pills. I was just exercising and exercising plus drinking liquids. Believe me, I loss so much of weight so fast and in such a small amount of time. I was dedicated to it so much that my body had got use to not eating and when I tried to make myself eat, I just couldn't. My mama told me I even began looking sick. But, I also think stress had a play in it too. But it took a lot to make myself to start back to eating. That's why I said this time, I will only start my diet off with not eating and then start a food diet. I don't want my body to get use to not eating like it did in the past, because I know it was hard for me to make myself eat. Ok, just had to make that clear so it don't appear that I am trying to kill myself lol.

I go back to the doctor for my first weigh in on March 3, 2010 @ 2pm. I am shooting to lose at least 20 lbs a month.
So, thats the catch up and a brief intro on the start of my weight loss.
