hello, stranger!

I just read my last post to see where I left off... The first day of my 30 Day Shred was... Well... My only day. I lost all motivation to do anything there for a while. I crept back up to 250 and decided to go see my Dr. A friend of mine has said good things about phentermine so I decided to ask about it had my appt on the 3rd, filled the RX on the 4th and started with 1/2 a tab a day for a couple days, and started with a full tab a day on the 7th. It has so far helped stop my cravings and has gotten me to motivate with the exercise again. It's a short-term help and only for 3 months. So far my weigh-ins have been:
8-7: 250.2
8-8: 249
8-9: 264.5
8-10: 246
8-11: 244.1
8-12: 243.2
8-13: 243
9-17: 241.2
8-18: 240.5
8-23: 239.2
8-24: 238.5
8-25: 237.9
8-26: 236.3
8-27: 235.9

So far 14.3 lbs this month. I also took measurements on the 3rd and I'll be taking more on Wednesday :) A couple of us are doing a "Biggest Loseresque" competition and I'll have my week 2 weigh-in. Whoever loses the biggest percent of weight wins the pot. Unfortunately we're required to weigh-in at a friend of ours apt and the times are during the day =( Worst time to weigh-in ever! I weighed in this past friday (the 26th) But by the time I got there at 6PM I was wearing my normal clothes and weighed in at 240.4 on her scale. I got home and weighed and I was 240 wearing the same stuff, and 237 minus pants lol. So I'll have to wear something a lot lighter this coming friday. She's allowing me to weigh and send her the weight via text though since I'll be going out of town at lunch and won't be back until late Monday. I'm soooo hoping to win. We'll see! I missed the first weigh-in since the set weigh-in times couldn't be met by the competition holder :p I almost didn't do it, but I decided I could probably win with just 9 weeks. My goal is 10%, which is 24lbs. Lets see if I can do it!
