Where to start. I have been on the phentermine for 2 whole weeks now. My beginning weight 2 weeks ago was 271. My current weight is 259.6. Definitely making some great progress! I don't feel like it is coming off quite as quickly and I am putting a lot more work into it. It could be because I do weigh quite a bit less than the last time. Still I am seeing the progress and not feeling discouraged. This is the lightest I have been in about 8 years! I started out in a size 24 and those are beyond loose now. A month or so ago I purchased a couple nice pairs of jean capri's from a yard sale page in a size 22 and a size 20. I put the 22's on this morning and they were falling off. Put the 20's on and they fit perfectly! I can't believe I've already dropped two sizes like that! It feels unbelievably great. I'm also to the point where I am going to have to put my wedding ring away for now since it keeps slipping down to my knuckle.

I have been going to the Y 4-5 times a week. Right now mostly walking and elliptical. When I don't make it to the Y and even on some days that I do, I have been doing a Walk Away the Pounds video from YouTube. I like walking but I am really feeling like switching things up and adding some other things in. Thinking about a group fitness class. Kick boxing looks fun!
Food is the part I struggle with the most. I don't feel like I have a good handle on it at all. I am doing just fine staying away from junk but when it comes to nutrition and a balanced meal I don't know which end is up. I just go buy a lot of produce and hope for the best. I think I could really benefit from visiting with a dietician or a nutritionist. I am going to ask about it at my next appointment. I feel like if I don't get it figured out, sooner or later I am going to hit a very hard plateau and not know what to do to get out of it.
