Dr's Appointment.

I updated my profile on my appointment for today if anyone wants to read about it. Tina

Did you ever think you would be told not to excercise as much, and to increase your food. This just blows me away. I have increased my food (healthy calories) I was lucky to get in about 600-800 calories aday. Since I have increased I have started to lose again. It is so hard sometimes. You really do look good and have done great. Take care, Jodi

Thanks Jodi, no I never thought I would hear those words. But I will make get it back on track. Tina

tina, it is so hard to think you were that big, and now look at you, !!!!! wow girl,!!!! im so proud of you!!! but eat more, and exercise less!!!! see ya soon.. rhonda

Thanks Rhonda I will. Tina

Wow, Tina. Thats something new. I never thought they would put us on a drug like that to lose fat. But, I guess they know what is best. Sounds like you are doing ok then. I thought exercise built up muscle mass, not made you lose it. Interesting. Cindee

Hey Cindee, Normally exercise does build muscle mass but when you don't get enough protein and calories you start to burn muscle with fat and that is what I have done. So I have to eat more and workout less until I can build back up my muscle mass. And the drug is suppose to help burn only fat and help me keep my muscle don't know how that is but that is the way he explained it to me. So we shall see. Tina

congrads tina on doing so well, just do as your doc tells you. i go for my 8 month check up on july 5th, not lost as much as you. looking forward to see what he says. take care denise you look wonderful

Thanks Denise, I'm sure he will have lots of nice things to say. Your doing great too. Tina

Good for you Tina. You look and sound GREAT. I got a good report from Dr. Raum, too. I had lost 15 lbs. of fat and gained 3 lbs. of muscle. That was good news. I've been on ephedra for about 6 months now and started taking theophylline 3 months ago. I'm "buzzing" a little... I have to take Lunesta to sleep at night... But, I am feeling really good and have LOTS more energy than I ever have before!! I've lost 138 and have 12 to go. I hope to reach that goal by September 15 which is my next appointment and will be very close to my 2 year anniversary.
