I hope its okay to start my journal here I thought it would help people.

Here are my stats:

Starting weight: 71 kg = 156.2
Current weight: 68 kg = 149. 6
Goal weight: 60 kg = 132 pounds
Age: 31 years old.

I started reductil in hopes of losing the weight that I seem to not be able to lose because of my constant hunger. I long to be 60 kilos something that I have not been since high school. My body is rather pear shaped and if you saw me from the top - you would automatically say "Skinny" but once you see me from the bottom you will automatically say "fat". Disgusting I hate that. Anyways, what can I do. By the way, even at 60 kilos I will stool look chunky on bottom - I think.

So, anyways, I started reductil exactly two weeks ago and I have lost a total of 3 kilograms which is equal to 6.6 pounds. Not bad in two weeks. As far as side effects, I had a little bit of insomnia the first two to three days but now I am completely over it - I sleep fine.

The only other thing as far as side effects is the fact that you have to watch out what other meds you have to take. Like I have to take migraine meds since I get migraines...not every day but almost. So the day I took my migraine meds - I felt like my heart was beating very very hard for like three hours. It happens everytime I take it but it seems to be not as bad as the first time.

I have had days where I have only had breakfast and not put anything in my mouth until the next day because I feel like I just don't want anything to eat and I have had days where I am hungry all day but once I start eating I get full very quickly.

This drug makes you feel full but I think the only problem is some people still eat when they are full or still want chocolate while they are watching TV late at night.

Sometimes I get the munchies at night but its much easier to control the cravings.

I am trying to train myself to eat healthier and eat small quantities in the hopes when I do reach my goal and get off reductil that my stomach would have shrunk and I would have gotten used to eating healthy. So hopefully I can stay in control.

I am really bad at drinking water and I still am very bad at it. I might drink a cup or two a day but thats without tea. I drink tea like twice a day.

I am mostly sticking to a low carb diet the times that i do eat. But if I feel like having something I am not supposed to have I just take one bite. If this was me before reductil, and something was in front of me that I loved - i wouldn't get it out of my head until I had finished the entire thing - whether it be a box or a bar or whatever.

One thing I notice is that I have more energy during the day but once it hits around 6 or 7 pm I am soooo tired that I get incredibly moody with my children and can't wait to put them to bed..I wasn't like that before..even if I was tired I would be able to control myself and not lose my temper with them so I don't know if its because of the meds but it is a change from my normal self.

So I ordered generic reductil called Leptos which I will use next month if it ever shows up. I never received confirmation for my order and they said I would get one within 24 hours so I am not sure what is going on but i emailed them.

One thing I must say is that I am not exercising but I do sooo much housework that I hope it is counted as exercise. I walk around alot in the house and barely ever sit down.

Anyways, on to Day 15. I will try to write daily to keep more track of what I eat and how things are going.

Well, I am down to 66 kilograms with no problems whatsoever. I have some days where I feel like eating a little something and some days where I am completely and totally not hungry. But i make it a point to try and put a little something in my mouth just to keep my metabolism going.

i hope that other people have as good results as I am. As of now, my BMI has fallen into the very high end of the healthy weight. I am sooo happy
