Day 7

Down another 1.6 total of 9.8
I woke up last night really hungry and had pain in my stomach. I could not go back to sleep. I prayed for a while. but still had bad hunger pains. I got up drank some water. that worked a little bit but not enough for me to go back to sleep. So got up again and drank more water and had a slice of turkey from the deli section. I was told don't get any of your meat from the pre packaged meats or cans.

My heart seemed fine last night.
I did take 1/3 of phentermine today because I was so hungry last night. Just going to check it out to see if it happens again.

Interesting... every time I get my hair done the color sticks to my skin and it wont come off for several days. My scalp is really dark from the color. Michelle always tells me it's because I am dehydrated. And I know I don't drink enough. I hardly drink at all. And I do retain water. when I push on the front bone of my leg it indents. Yesterday Mit did my hair and the die did not stain my skin or scalp and I cant leave a dent in my leg. So she was right I was retaining a lot of water. So I have learned from this I really need to increase my water for good. Not just while I am dieting.

Day 6

Today I lost 1.2 total of 7.6. I am not very hungry. It's just hard finding food I like on this diet. But worth it.
No headache today and felt good. I was thinking I would be sluggish or tired but I'm not. Did not take any phentermine today and was fine.  I also stopped all medications yesterday. I'm hoping I won't need them anymore.
I was woke up several times last night with my heart beating fast (for me) resting. This bothered me. I thought my heart should not be beating this fast when I have been sleeping. So Today I skipped the Phentermine for this reason. I will see if my heart go's back to normal tonight.

Day 5

Lost 1.2 lb for a total of 6.6 lbs.

Day 4

I lost 2.4 pounds. I am counting the 3 lb I lost the 2 days before I started because my normal weight for the last few years has been at 193. So that is a total of  5.4 lbs. Not bad, It usually takes me 2 weeks to loose a two pounds. No headache today :)  I took 1/2 of a phentermine. I was hungry today. but not so bad that I couldn't stand it. Even when I do eat I'm not satisfied. The hunger go's away for a while but I still have that pit in my stomach that Im not satisfied. I keep telling myself it's for 21 days just hang in there. I find the hardest thing is trying to choke down the food. It's just dry and not so tasty. Getting enough calories in for the day is a little hard.

Day 3

Today was the real first day of the DIET. It will be challenging for me to find food that I like and that satisfying. I was hungry at lunch, didn't really enjoy lunch but about 20 minutes after I ate I was satisfied. Started to get a slight headache in the afternoon. I was up and out of the house early and forgot to weigh in today.

Day 1 & 2

I know this is going to be hard, but I'm determined to stick with it. Lord help me. I have been following Megan who did this through the holidays. I keep thinking if she did it at the hardest time of the year, I can do it too. Congratulations to you Megan.

Day one and day two are fun of course, because your eating whatever you want. I have been staying at the same weight for several months now. no matter what I do, I stay between 190 and 193. If I am good with my food and exercising I can get to 189 for a day or so and then I'm back up. As I have looked back at my previous diets, it's no wonder I get discouraged and quit. I will diet for 1-2 weeks and maybe loose a pound. If I am really really lucky, I will loose one pound a week. But that means I have to really kick butt to accomplish that. Exercising everyday and really strict on my food.
Two days before I was 193.0
Day one I was 190.0

Day 2
Today is the second day of loading I weighed in today at 190.2
