I went full force in March of this year, when I weighed 167 pounds. I was at the end of my rope. I found prescription diet pills on the internet, and I maxed (not a great idea, but I love them, but the diet pills are not going to waste) a credit card on them. I started taking them (phentermine, Xenical-works gross, but I lost 12 pounds quickly). Phetnermine is the part of phen-fen that they still sell. I took one this morning. After I began to loose weight, I decided to jump start it, cause it was going too slow for me. I got some exercise tapes, and did them, like I was supposed to. www.beachbody.com Slim in 6 or Power 90, or both. That was on July 21st. I weighed 144. Sometime in August, it came to me, when I was searching Yahoo for something, that I used to be anorexic, what did I do during that time to loose the weight? I typed in Anorexic in Yahoo, and on August 15th, I began counting my calories, and then I found this group, and that group, and joined, and created my own, and now I'm down to 124 pounds, with a ways to go before I'm done. I'm five foot tall, and I weigh 124 pounds. I still take diet pills, cause they make cutting calories, for a weight loss reason alot easier. I found out about the-now defunct-www.ana-by-choice forum, and then about the now discontinued pink plan, and that was to get under 700 cals a day, drink 14 glasses of water, log daily, and exercise three times a week. I joined that group, but took it on my own from there. My highest weight was around 170, I was preg. and I never lost it, cause I had no time to concentrate on it, then, I lost connection with the ana part of me. (Nursing school...even though I thought about anorexia daily, I couldn't bring myself to function with anorexia, and nursing school.)That was in 1992. I was pregn.in 1990. My son was born c-section, where they just sew you back up, and you don't loose the water weight. I started reading ana books in August, looking for all of mine I used to have, and reordering those I didn't have anymore. That kept me in the same mind-set. I didn't think, due to the c-section, that my abdomen would ever be flat. I learned that, in nursing school, that a woman's body was built to have children, and once you do, no matter how much exercise you do, you will not have a flat stomach. Not true. I started doing 325 crunches, now I do up to 325, but for awhile, I did 325 crunches throughout the day, and my stomach went from a pouch shaped, to completely flat. Now I cut my calories big time, and sometimes, the only problem I have, and this is gross, is with constipation. That can be aleavted, also, I found out. Cause, I used to do this, now I'm cataloging everything I come up with, and sticking it in a notebook, of things I used to do, things I'm doing, and what I find might be good ideas. I wrote quite a bit. I hope Susan doesn't mind. I don't mind you asking me. You can ask me anything. That's what this group is here for. ~Whatever you say I am.~ --Rhonlynn *What nourishes me, also destroys me* From: "social casualty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [No Subject] rhonlyn... sorry if i'm repeating the question, but how long did it take you to lose all of that weight? and if i may ask, what what your highest and what do you weigh now? i just came off a 3 day fast... i'm currently down to 121.5 (that's the lowest since last year - i sorta fell off the wagon, so to speak) it's always encouraging to hear *success stories* like yours... so thanks for sharing. :) ~*stef ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
