New kid on the block...

[okiedokie]

So, it looks as though I'm the new kid on the block! I'm glad to join you guys in your successful struggle at weight loss.

I received my pills on Thursday, but still have not taken them yet. I am excited about the life changing events I am about to experience (positive thinking), but had to sew my wild oats first (lol). This means over the past few days I have been getting myself hydrated as instructed by doctor, and eating some food items that I will really miss (pizza, hamburgers, burritos, fried chicken...)! I could go on and on...

Now, I will not be completely giving everything up, but this is a life changing commitment I am making so those types of foods will be few, far, and between.

My other issue is that I have been taking Prednisone for an auto-immune disease for almost 3 years (hence the extreme weight gain). I was told by most doctors that it is impossible to lose weight while on Prednisone, but I did lose about 20lbs on my own once my dosage was reduced. I am now on a very low dosage, but was taken off a medication generally prescribed to cancer patients and gained 10lbs. That’s when I decided its time for action. Prednisone gives you an insatiable appetite, and Phen will take that away. Wish me luck! I'll make certain to post my results.
