Starting over

Well I spent the first 5 months of the year busting my ass trying to lose weight. Went from 292 to 277 at one point. After that is just stood still. I got frustrated, threw in the towel, and gained it all back again. Right back at 292 to where I started at. I went to the doctor this week and was prescribed phentermine to help with my weight loss. Back to eating healthy again and I will resume working out next week although he said that I do not need to do any extreme work out right now and that walking will suffice. He said I should lose 20-25 lbs in the 3 months on the medication. Everyone I know who has taken it has lost at least 30 lbs and after reading success stories online it appears that a lot of people my size have seen as much as a 40-50 lbs loss. I am going to really push myself as far as I can these next 3 months and see where it can take me. After the 3 months my doctor says they will continue working with me towards my goals. Feeling a renewed excitement and anticipation in all of this now. I am going to try to post every day even if only to say what I ate or what I did for exercise.
