Diethylpropion.. Here we go again lol

Seems Diethylpropion lowers your immune system and I caught a bad cough/ cold which literally lasted like 6 weeks :/ Only just getting over it now tbh.  I had to stop taking them while i was sick because they dont mix well with other med :( 

Isnt all that bad though... Somehow ive actually lost more weight than i did when i was on them haha. Im now at my lowest weight since i started dieting woohoo 13.0st exactly. Hopefully this time nxt week ill be in the 12s! :) 

Ive also signed up for Race for life in June and am hopefully going to Creamfields in August so ive got something to work towards :D x

Diethylpropion Day 3

Been really good today only drank water all day :) ive been good with food too and been eating every 3 hours. Not really feeling hungry altho i think i will after ive been the gym haha Only side effect ive noticed again is the dry mouth, no headaches thank god :) 

I decided not to go bak to the clinic yesterday because ive not been on them long enough to get clear results, gonna go back on Sat morning which will be day 6. Just hope ive lose a few pounds!! Lol

Diethylpropion

I'm going to start keeping track of my progress while using this drug, mainly for my own benefit but also for anyone else who might be interested in giving it a go :)

So first things first, I bought these from a medical clinic who specialize in helping with weight loss. I wouldn't recommend buying these off the internet as you never know what you're getting! I had to have lots of tests done first to make sure it was safe for me to use them. Diethylpropion is a dangerous drug and I would seriously advise you to consult with your doctor before going on them.

Here is a link to some information and side effects of them

My routine is a little bit mixed up because I work permanent nights. You're meant to take them in the morning (after sleep) with your breakfast, but on average I sleep from 10am until 6pm which means I take mine during the evening at approx 7.30pm. I also eat weird foods at weird times, like for lunch I'll eat a main meal and for my final meal I'll eat breakfast food lol I should really get out of the habit of it though...

This is my schedule:
5.30pm- wake up
6pm - have breakfast & take Diethylpropion
9pm - snack
12.30am - lunch
3am - snack
7am - small meal

Start: 5ft9, 13.8lbs, bmi 28

Day 1:
So on day 1 of starting the tablets, the main thing I noticed almost straight away is the dry mouth, although I didn't feel anything else. At breakfast I had a small bowl of Kimchi Noodles, then I skipped having a snack and at lunch had a Roast Dinner but couldn't finish it as I wasn't hungry. I'm not sure if this was just a placebo effect or maybe because I had noodles a few hours earlier though. On my break at 3am I had Blueberries, and then after work I felt starving and had 2 crisp barms and a few chunks of chocolate. I was meant to be going to the gym but I had a doctors appointment so I skipped a gym day. Overall, I don't really know if the tablets worked or not.

Day 2:
Today is my day off work so its hard to keep a steady schedule for eating. So far I've had 2 chunks of chocolate and bran flakes with raisins for breakfast, and I had to set an alarm to remind me to eat 3 hours later haha :P I'm going to grab a snack now, however I'll be honest I'm feeling pretty hungry and my mouth is drier than a nuns vagina lmao I'm also feeling light headed :/ Note to self- start carrying a bottle of water round lol

Edit: Its 5am and I now have a banging headache, and keep needing a wee haha. Oh n i had salad with tuna before but barely finished it which is good :) 

Its been a while

Feels like everytime I post on here nowadays its me saying how long its been since my last post :/

Not gonna sit here rambling on about how much has changed... well I'll try not to haha Here goes nothing..

~ 2013 has been a really strange year for me to be honest. People have came into my life in ways I never thought possible, and really turned my world upside down. I know one day I will probably lose them, which tbh makes me very sad, so I'm trying to make the most out of it while I can. I've also made some really good friends too, and reconnected with old friends I lost a long time ago :) Oh and Leah & I are closer than ever. Love my bff so much ♥

~ Deans still the nights section leader :) Its been a rough ride for him this past year, problems with other colleagues etc but hes doing well and hopefully he will be promoted to manager in a few years :)

~ I'm now working my way towards eventually becoming a section leader :) I completed the Step on programme and became our colleague voice representative for nights, but its quite hard to attend the meetings because they're during the day and as you all know I am a creature of the night hehe :) My managers and other section leaders have been so helpful with me and have given me new responsibilities which is great, and I've been giving myself little secret tasks too hehe. Basically, each week I try to make sure I learn something new :)

~ Unfortunately, my gym regime and dieting has pretty much been none existent during 2013. I lost about a stone before Cuba and since then its been slowly creeping off by itself with just healthy eating. All in all up until about last October I had lost about 2 stone, but then this Christmas it went downhill and I ended up putting 10lbs on :(

I've just recently 2 days ago started on Hunger Suppressant tablets called 'Diethylpropion', which will hopefully encourage me to eat smaller portions and get me back on track in the gym :) I'll write another blog post with updates on this though as I want to keep a little log of how I get on with them.

~ My Mum and Jack are now engaged which is brilliant :) I'm so happy that she has finally found someone who makes her truly happy ♥ They even working towards moving into their own home together hehe

 ~ In September, we had a little moment of madness and went on holiday last minute which was amazing :) Leah & Shaun booked it last minute on the Thursday, and then Dean and I managed to book it on the Saturday.. and we left something stupid like on the Tuesday lmao. Had an awesome time, the highlight was probably going to a huge water park :) I never been to anything like it before hehe. All inclusive drinks chillin on the rooftop with a Shisha was so cool too. Loved it so much, and it was my first holiday with Leah aswell :)

~ I'm sad to say however, unfortunately Leah and Shaun have since split up and I don't think they will be getting back together either :( I'm really upset about it to be honest because we all had so many good times together and I'm really going to miss the house parties, sleep overs, holidays, meals and nights out. I know they weren't happy together though so I guess its for the best.

For me 2013 was all about loving life and finding myself, I guess thats why I didn't post much. My taste in music is a lot more diverse these days, and although I still love metal, I have also opened up to lots of other genres, especially House. I can flick from listening to Nine Inch Nails, to Sylosis, to Avicii in a line haha Its quite weird really.

I have also changed my style of clothes a bit. I'll be honest, I think it started when I began to lose weight. I looked at myself in the mirror and found a confidence I'd never had before, n then I'd see pics of me with my flab hanging out cellulite everywhere n I felt like telling my past self to cover up lol. Tbh wearing tiny checkered mini skirts, fishnet tights and vest tops just doesn't really sound too appealing anymore. If I was going on a night out to the Krazyhouse or to a festival yes, but those days are so far and few between. I love wearing skinny jeans and band tees or leggings with jumpers at the mo :) Another aspect of the change really came from working because I'm not allowed my lip bar in and they're very strict about hair colour.

I would love to have pink hair back again. Having Blonde hair is so hard to maintain! I started off by doing it myself, but my hair was in awful condition, breaking all the time and my roots were always quite yellowy. It was ok when I had pink because the colour would hide the difference in the tone, so in the end I bit the bullet and went to the hairdressers haha. I now go to voodou and get highlights every few weeks. Its veeeery expensive but its what I need to do to get nice healthy hair again :)

OK I rambled I'm sorry lol. Heres a few recent piccys :)

Me & Dean at Chester Zoo

 Me with Sarah :)

 Me with Leah & Sarah hehe I'm sorry but Leahs face on this loooool Thats y I love her so much hehe

Meeee

Meeee again :)

New Neice n stuff :)

Just thought I'd do a quick blog post just to say diets still going well :) I reached my lowest weight yet since dieting (13.5) however still a long way off yet! On my 2 days off I've been on a bit of a binge so probably but some back on haha but I worked sooooo hard last week so thought I deserved it :) Gonna get back on the salads tomorrow lol

My Mum had a great 50th birthday in Norfolk with Jack which I'm so happy about :) All I've really wanted for ages is for her to meet someone who makes her happy and treats her right, and seems shes found that with Jack which is just great :) I bought her lots of Lancome makeup and perfume which I gave to her yesterday when we went for a meal.

I also have some aweeesommmeee neeewwwsss, Rikki is currently in the start of labour and within the next 2 days we'll have a new little Niece :D Can't wait to meet herrrr!


Well, thats pretty much all I have to say haha Its all looking good good good for Dean going for Section Leader, we won't know for a little while yet if hes gonna get it but hes worked so hard and he defo deserves it :) Ermmmm, also I can't stop thinking about CUBBAAA. I'm so excited lol The thought of sitting on a beach just lazing in the warm sun, strawberry daiquiri in hand just seems so good right now :) Apparently they have beach bbqs and beach night parties every so often and a beach bar with all you can eat burgers, pizzas, hotdogs, and drinks etc.

Gym & my diet

Been working sooo hard in the gym lately, and I finally hit my new lowest weight today :) (I say lowest, but I mean lowest since I first started this whole gym diet routine haha). I am now 13st 9.6lbs, and yes I know that is heavy but I'm 5ft 9 and considering I weighed alot more than this 2 weeks ago I'm happy. I'm on a journey and this just shows that what I'm doing is working.

We've been walking home alot more lately after work and the gym, which is about 3 and a half miles so it all adds up. I get paid tonight so I'll be ditching the bready meals and switching back to salads in work which should also give the extra boost :)

Today I bought a dress and a little skirt in the George sale for when we go to Cuba. The skirt is a size 14, and on the way home I even said to Dean it'd be a miracle if i fit into it before the holiday, but it was cheap so I can atleast try... welll, I've just tried it on and it fits :D:D:D Ok, i wont lie its a tiny bit too small, but i'd definitely get away with it with a bikini on so im happy happy right now. And the size large dress? TOO BIG lmao. This is coming from the girl who could only wear size xl, and size 20 pants last year. I've always been small on top, I'm weirly proportioned (like 14 on top, 20 on bottom - or now it'd be 12 on top, 16 on bottom) but its slowly coming off my hips and ass so this time next year hopefully I'll be saying this again but on a whole other level :)

My complete aim is to be about 11 or 12 stone, depending on how I look. I'm not really trying to go to a specific weight as such because I'm building muscle at the same time as shedding fat so I won't really notice it on the scales.

When I met Dean I was only 14, but i was the same height i am now and I weighed 9st 5lbs. I will never get to that weight again because I was only a kid then, but if i can look as skinny as i did then i'll be a happy girl

Birthday and Holidayyyyyy :)

Wow, not wrote a blog post in sooooo long. I'm gonna try and get an app on my phone so I can blog on the go :D

Well, I guess i best give some updates. My birthday was awesommmme :) Me and Carl had a joint night out because his birthday is the end of June, lots of people came out altho unfortunately not many of my friends came due to being skint etc. Ahh well, had an awesome night anyways :)

Also, got some epiccccc news :D:D:D

Me and Dean will be travelling to Varadero, Cuba on Oct 24th and we're staying for 15 nights!! Its gonna be epic :) I'm so excited. We're staying at the Blau Varadero, which is all inclusive and we're planning to go on an overnight trip to Havana to see the Capital :)

I'm really skint at the mo and am really worried about it but Dean keeps reassuring me that everything will be ok :) I'm sure I won't care about anything when I'm sitting on a beach sipping a Strawberry Daiquiri :D

Also just a quick hair update, my hair is in MUCH better condition :) After going to the hair dressers to get it trimmed, I used Moroccan hair oil which was amazing!! I recommend anyone with a bit of spare cash to get it cause it really is just fabulous :) I've tried VO5 Miracle hair oil and VO5 hot oil treatments, and none of them compare (Although they are also good)

For my birthday I bought some hair extensions, and now i can't live without them haha :) Heres a pic of my hair now:

You'll havta excuse my bunged up face and normy attire, I was having a slouch day cause I was so unwell :( Just so ya know, I'm fine now weeee :D

Diets going ok too, I've been going the gym/swim pretty much every day for the past month (although i didn't go last week due to an ear infection). I've not lost much "weight" as such, but i can see my body getting different so I guess i must be shifting the fat and building muscle in its place :)

So far

Well, we've started the diet and actually its going quite well :) We had a few problems with the gym on the first day where we couldn't sign up for the membership but on Tuesday we went back and got it all sorted, so now me and dean are official members of Active Sefton gyms :D woooo haha It entitles us to go to any of their leisure centres and use the gyms, swimming pools, sauna, steam rooms, and all the classes too for £21 a month, plus we both got 1 month free too - bonus!

Oh oh oh! and this is Deans new hair :D YES he finally had it cut off! :O

Bit of a bad photo but doesn't he look sexeeehhh ;) He looks a bit like the old singer from Tesseract! I like it

I got mine done too but it looks almost exactly the same other than my roots, however the condition of it is much much better. I'm gonna keep toning it and then using Moroccan oil on my hair and not bleaching it and hopefully it'll start looking exactly how I want it. I'm gonna get some hair extensions too so my hair looks nice and long - its exciting! :)

There is also something bad that I need to write about too :( ... Deans got these weird patches all over his chest, back and legs and we didn't know what it was (at first we thought it might be psoriasis), but when we went the docs yesterday he said its a fungal infection! Which means hes probably got it off Chewy our Hamster! :( not good.

Oh well, time for work soon boooo Earn some pennies though which is all good :) I got some holiday brochures from the Strand yesterday cause we're planning on going somewhere nice at the end of the year to replace Download Festival. Tbh, its realllllllly getting me down at the mo cause everyones talking about it :( I WISH I COULD GOOOOO :'(

Body Detox and hair

So next week, Me and Dean are gonna start a body detox for 4 weeks and basically try and go the gym everyday, eat properly and not snack on crap all the time. Ou diets will be a little bit different from one another due to me liking everything and Dean only liking processed food.

Although we're only planning on doing this for 4 weeks, I don't want to go all supercharged and eat stuff I hate, because I know when the 4 weeks are up I'll be so fed up of eating cardboard by mind will instantly want cakes and pizza. I want to try and stick to foods which although aren't exactly "diet foods" as such, its something I'll enjoy and will be able to live on for the rest of my life. When I'm rummaging through the cupboards at stupid o'clock I want my mind to instantly think of soup, cereal, pasta etc instead of Pot Noodles, toast and chocolate.

Obviously, in the next 4 weeks there will be occasions when I can't stick to the routine, such as Leahs Birthday Party, which is fine aslong as I do well up until then and afterwards one night of treats won't hurt :)

I'm gonna try and keep a log to see how well I do, which I'll also try and put on the internet to motivate me to stick to it.

♥

Also, next week we're both going to get our hair cut yaaaay :) My hair is just a disaster, its so dry, I've tried everything and its just horrible. I think what makes it worse is that it isn't anywhere near the colour I want either. I'm still not sure whether to spend a fortune in a shop to get my roots done and for them to get it the colour I want ASWELL as cut it, I know it'll cost an absolute fortune though : / We'll see but I'm sure I'll get there eventually even if my hair is a lesbian cut by then haha I'll get extensions :P

Deans getting all his hair cut off :O yup, now that he has quit Korn Again... (for a bazillion reasons, but pretty much cause hes fed up of a multitude of things, and also because he wants to get a promotion in Asda) ...he has no reason to keep it basically. If he goes to the interview in Asda with short hair all smart then he'll look like hes really made an effort so thats good.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... when we go on holiday at the end of the year, hopefully I'll 1) have lost 3 stone and 2) have larrrvly hair again :)

Flat, Diet, Anniversary

I am devastated at how this is working out right now. I did intend to write a big blog update but I never have the time :/

Anywho - Me and Dean have been working like 5 nights a week for the best 7 weeks and its suchhhhh a killer. I'm on this course from my GP to lose weight, which seems to be going really well though :) I've been going the gym twice a week after work, for 60-80mins and I've cut out all chocolate, crisps, chips throughout the working week and I'm on the Orlistat again too. So far this week I've lost 5pounds :)

This weekend (I'm off on Mon&Tue but its myyyy weekend haha) we had an Oscars night and bought loads of goodies to nom on which was realllllly good :) I kinda regret it, but I'll just make sure I work extra hard in work &gym instead. We had a kfc, custard donuts, yorkies, time outs, rowntrees very berries, rowntrees randoms and some magic stars haha mmmmm Back to the salads and fruit tomorrow though.

Also, my manager in work, Mary, found out I like knitting and all stuff like that and apparently shes a ninja knitter. She messaged me on facebook saying she'll teach me how to knit before work which is AWESOMMMMME. Maybe I'll finally be able to knit a fishnet/whalenet jumper haha :)

Oh oh oh and yesterday - I went on a bit of a shopping spree :D I bought a S.O.P.H.I.E. wristband (AGAIN - as Dean broke my last one!!), a S.O.P.H.I.E. bag patch, and an awesome skeleton hand vest, aaaaand, some new bedroom furniture for the flat :)



Also, mine and Deans 8 year anniversary is coming up - HOW CRAZY IS THAT HAHA :) We've both got 10 days booked off work which is awesome :D Gonna try and make the most of it by going out and seeing friends, hopefully DYING MY HAIR WHITE etc, also Dean has a gig which im going to. Should be good :) AAAAANNNNDDDDD, Deans buying me a coffee maker :D:D:D:D Not sure which one yet though

Babababababybel

Well, I did "alright" today, didn't scoff my face so its a start atleast. The only fatening thing I had was a scone and aboout 2 blocks of fruit & nut dairy milk lol :S

On to other news though, Dean has swine flu :( Went to his today n we were meant to clean Lizzys tank, but he said he felt really ill :/ So I went home anywho GAH! :( Not gonna see him for ages booooo. Well... til Wed haha

Anyway i cba today with this, I'm pissed off cause i've just spent the last hour looking for a suitable Chun Li costume, but they're all stupid :(
xxx

Ouchy >.<

Note to anyone taking Xenical Orlistat 120mg tablets (the 1s from the Doctors, not Alli - i dont no about them but i prosume its the same side effects), make sure you REMEMBER when you've taken them.. even if its just one! :(

I am weening myself back on em, so had 1 with breakfast this morning, but then completely forgot I'd taken one an hour later. **Damn my blasted memory** :/

So yeah, little ol' me thinks its ok to scoff all day! Last day then I'll diet tomorrow I told myself. So I binged on anything I could get my hands on all day! How stupid am i? :/

Im ashamed to say this but.... 2 slices of toast with peanut butter, ready salted walkers crisps, fudge bar, wine gums, half a sayers chicken fajita sub, a traditional pasty from sayers, an iced ring doughnut, chilli con carne with rice, a single kit kat, a packet of wotsits, a mars bar ice cream, 2 chippy spring rolls, half a small portion of chips from chippy

EUGHHHH what was I thinking?!?! :'( For the past hour I've had the worst cramps in my stomach ever, luckily because I took the tablet over 12hrs ago, I've been fortunate enough to not have the dreaded Orlistat side effec, attack of the killer oil. THANK GOD.

I will NOT be making the same mistake again! lol From today, goodbye Chippy, goodbye Sayers, goodbye Greggs, goodbye Chinese food, goodbye crisps, goodbye chocolate, goodbye... McDonalds :'( goodbye KFC :'( I'll miss u all haha...... Hello new skinny Rhiannon :D :D :D

Well.. watch this space. I can guarantee I'll have atleast one of the above 2moro though.. damn me and my lack of motivation! :/

I'm going to bed now to watch House :D
