Thanks everyone!

Your comments mean so much to me!

I tried to line up similar pictures. My goal is to loose 100lbs. 275 to 175. These pictures are at 1/2 way through, yesterday I reached the 50lbs. lost mark. And what a great feeling it was. I made this to remind myself how far I've come & thought I would share it. I love looking at others pictures and reading what others have to say- so I thought I would share mine.

you look amazing.

I was reading through your post, and in one- you mentioned that you wouldn't touch fast food with a 10 ft. pole, and you also mentioned that your whole outlook on healthy eating has changed. I set a 100lbs. weight loss goal for myself in Feb. and right now, I have lost 48. So, I am about 1/2 there. But, I feel the same way about fast food now, if I even smell it, I literally get sick to my stomach. I often wonder how I used to shovel fast food down every day. It is amazing. I also have changed everything I eat. I was watching a rerun of Biggest Loser the other day and they put however many lbs. they had lost- of their favorite food infront of them....example: 60lbs. of macaroni and cheese. After watching that, I can't eat macaroni and fried chicken anymore. It is funny how we can train our brain. Great job loosing weight, you look amazing and you are an inspiration to many, especially me.

Go to PREVENTION.COM

Do the weight loss simulator.

It is great motivation.

And it is FREE.

haha, I mean 5'9....typo!!!!! Wow, 6'9...I could play basketball!

Anyway- thanks so much everyone for the great advice, I'm throwing those pills away.



Also, thankyou Tom for your input about the BMR.



Great advice guys. Thankyou so much.

Thankyou so much Itadaki for your research and input about Tenuate. I read over everything a couple times. I had did a little bit of research on my own, but was having a hard time finding "positive" things about Tenuate. Evidentially, that is why. I am scheduled for another appt. with my doctor next week. I think I am going to stop taking the medicine-- for two reasons. The research you showed me, plus it keeps me up and I can't sleep- then days like today I just crash and I am moody and can't stay awake. I am going to try to just read stuff on here and the internet, keep the work out routine going and perhaps take in more calories. I really appreciate your input.



Also, Layla- thankyou for your input. I def. need to eat more, healthy, but more.



And Nathan, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said western medical practitioners know little about fitness and health. I basically walked into the doctor, they weighed me, I asked for some help, and he wrote me a three month prescription for Tenuate. He told me that at 6'9 I should weigh 175. So, I don't know. Perhaps I should talk to a different doctor.





Anyone else that wants to say anything- I'de love to hear anything that anyone has to say.



Thanks everyone.

I went to the doctor and he prescribed me a pill called Tenuate. It basically boosts my metablism, gives me energy and curves my appetite. I am 19 years old and 260 (was 275). My doctor told me that a healthy weight for my frame and height is 175ish. If any one on here has tried the pill Tenuate, please feel free to tell me of your experience. I want to know how others have done on this pill. While I know that this pill isn't going to solve my weight problems, I have been eating between 700 and 1,000 calories a day and working out for an hour and a half 3 times a week. So far, in a little less than a month, I've lost 15 lbs. I am new to dieting and working out- just the whole thing. I have the mindset to loose the weight, it is just the time, effort and patience that I have to have. I would really like to hear what anyone has to say...about Tenuate, being new to dieting/ working out...anything you want to say- I want to hear. I have been reading the forums and looking at pictures and you all are very motivating.



thank you all!!!
