Meridia/Wellbutrin/Slim-Fast progress
I'm a lurker. But I thought I should post my progress, because it's been
good. But I'm scared about losing it. October 2002: I was originally about 182 lb, 5'5, Male, and I started taking Meridia in Oct 02 to about December 2002 or a little later, maybe January (10s and then 15s). I then tried Ionamin (Phentermine) for about a month. It makes you sketchy. I believe I was hovering around 172 by this time. I was eating quite a bit still, and not exercising regularly. August 03: I then went on Wellbutrin in August of 03, and I was around 172 at the time. I also started Slim-Fast. I went to about 167 while on Wellby. February 1, 04: Joined a gym, and was still on the Slim-Fast program, and exercised 3x a week. Started at 167 and went down to 160. February 19, 04: Started Meridia 10 and then went to 15mg. Was 160 lb. Vigourous exercise 5 times a week for 30 minutes (cardio) or 20 minutes cardio/20 minutes weights, keeping on Slim Fast and medium-carb/low-cal diet. Heading toward 150 lb. Today: 153.5 lb. So that's about 30 lb in about a year. Anyone got similar results? I think the commitment to exercise has made all the difference. I was such a lazy ass before, but at some point, you just have to say enough is enough, eh? Where will it get you if you don't, I figure? Also, anyone had any trouble getting their insurance companies to cover this with the right paper work? My BMI was over 30 at the start of treatment, and I have a family history of stroke, so I should be covered, but I'm waiting to hear back on it. Thanks all, and the best of luck to everyone's weight loss. |
