A reminder, I was at 264 at the beginning of December and my shuck and jive speech to get my shit together didn't land well with her.  After a talk with my bestie who is on them convinced me (us) with her experience, I relented and agreed to go on them. After almost 4 months on a 10mg dose (the lowest dose available), I'm at 184.  So, I guess they work.  😂   I will also say this is with zero dietary changes and a pretty scattered workout schedule the past two months.  I hope in time when all of the projects are done and we are finally able to focus on ourselves that I can eventually go off of them with hard work.   I'm pleased with...

  3. Had a doctor's appointment this morning, then went to work. Have to take one of the dogs to the groomers tomorrow, then my car in for a wheel alignment. Then it's just typical chores. I'll be indoors as much as possible because it's going to be hot, hot, hot!

    Have a super weekend!
