I'm still around

Hey everyone! Seems to be a lot of new people and not very many of the ones I knew! Hi to all the new ones. I am still around the boards..I get on here from time to time and read doesn't always say something though. And my life..well..I'm not taking th diet pills I have been off of them for awhile now. I couldnt tell you if I'm losing because I havent stepped on the scale..well I lie I did about a month ago i guess..and i was about the same but i also weighed after 3pm so I believe its going to show more that late in the day.But I finally gave in and had to buy new clothes because all of my 24s or 3xs do not fit at all..shirts are falling off my shoulders..pants are nearly falling off..so I am still down 2 sizes because I have bought 20s and 2xs in shirts. I have no plans of ever getting back on the diet pills. My husband came home from work a few weeks ago and told me i'm never taking them again(phentermine). There was a woman that had died from the pills which it was long term that she was on them and was older then me..but she had kidney and heart failure I believe was the two and they said it was from the diet pills she was taking. So I was on them..got my stomach to strink..and learned better eating habits. And exercise! So i can do this..my husband is also working to lose weight and within a week he has lost 4.5 lbs! So we are doing good and we are doing this together..we walk 2 miles at night..we dont ever night but its been over 100 degrees here. But we are learning the healthier life and I'm loving it. I just have to get better with the exercise thing! So anyways..I didnt have a picture of my body before losing..but I will have to post some recent pictures soon to see if you guys can tell because honestly..i cant tell it..but i know others tell me i'm still losing..i just dont feel it..anywho! I hope you are all doing great..and yesterday was my last day of work for a couple weeks! So i'm going to start doing my turbo jam again and arm workouts!! IF anyone knows of any good workouts for the arms or videos i can get..i really need to do something with my arms so let me know :) 

Hi Stacey, I'm glad to hear you stopped the diet pills. They are harmful - not for everyone but then you can't predict who will have problems and they are only a temporary help. At least you benefited from being able to reset the amount of food you feel you need to eat which is so helpful. I'm doing a lot of walking in a local indoor mall - nothing nicer than walking in an air conditioned building when it's hot and humid outside.

Hi Skylar! I don't think we have met but thanks for responding :) Good idea walking in the mall..and gosh you probably even have steps that you can go up too! Good idea! I wish we had one here cause I would of had to try that! But I do know of some people that go to walmart and they walk around the store..mainly in the winter i believe. But i figure we all need to get out and get some fresh air and it isnt going to hurt to sweat alittle. But yes i'm off of them now and hopefully it causes no problems from when i was on them.
