I seem to have lost between 9 and 12 pounds in 3 days. I keep weighing myself and while my scale fluctuates, at the very least I've lost 9 which is fucking excellent. My last weigh-in today was after drinking and eating, that also pushed it up, surely. The first 2 days I had very little appetite so I basically ate a slimfast the first day and drank a ton of water. A slimfast optima is 190 calories. I was pretty happy with that (yeah, I have disordered thinking when it comes to food) until I started reading on the Phentermine forums about how if you don't eat at least 1000 cals a day you won't really lose. I'm combining the Phen with a low carb diet, that seems to be the way to go. I also bought some wine, which I think will be going down the drain because it's a killer. So many goddamn calories, it's not even funny.

Water is very important and I'm going to try to nail a gallon a day, ugh. Makes me feel queasy just thinking about it but what the fuck ever, it's do or die. I spent over a hundred bucks on this for the month, I'm gonna make it work. I refuse to dick around and screw it up. It's been a long time since I was in the 290s. What a depressing thought and yet if I really work at it, maybe in another week I'll be in the 180s.

My calorie intake so far has been:

Tuesday, 2/19-190
Wednesday, 2/20-983 (big leap, I know, but 433 cals from the wine I drank-not worth it)
Thursday, 2/21-1073 (216 in wine again >:| )

I was disappointed that I went over 1000 today but I should be alright, a lot of people are saying get up to 1200 a day but the Dr who prescribed mine says 1000 and I'ma try to stick to that. I'm not too worried as long as I don't go over 1100. For the inquiring minds, I had a few hungry moments today but I was satiated really quickly. Aside from the wine I've had a few sporadic nibbles on some slow boiled pork, 2 large hard boiled eggs and 4 slices (1/2) of an apple. I literally couldn't get the other half down. This stuff works, although the buzz isn't as noticeable now, three days in. My appetite is seriously suppressed.

I have not been walking, going in half an hour for a minimum of 30 minutes. I have been doing shitloads of arm lifts, they're aching but in a good way. They gots to go, they're disgusting.
