Doc is keeping me on diet pills, she says I'm still overweight....
which is fine because I like the diet pills. They give me a ton of energy. But I am in a size 8 now and I don't see how I am still overweight. I am 152 and 5'5. I guess she is going by BMI, idk. This pic sux I know but it's the most recent full body shot I got, taken about 2 weeks ago.
Oh and my home scale says I am 145, I don't know which is right. I wonder if they have their scales off a little to keep making money off the diet pills.
Even according to your BMI you're barely overweight. I wouldn't take them anymore if you think you can lose the rest easy. I always wonder if the doctor's scales are off because no matter what scale it is, the dr's is always off by 6 lbs higher. Even if its a brand new scale! LOL
You are barely in the overweight range. I'm not sure why she would have you on medication.
Quoting sweetiepye2004:
What pills does she have you on? You look pretty good from what I can see. How much have you lost? I think at 5'5 the weight you're supposed to be at is 135 maybe??
She has me on phentermine. I have lost about 50 pounds all together. The past 2 times I have went in I expected her to take me off, but she hasn't. I don't mind, I like them, they help me with energy and help me control what I eat better. Which means I have been eating much healthier and I have managed to cut out all soda. The least I have ever weighed was 135 and that was high school. IDK if I would want to get down to that, I am thinking another 10 pounds and I will quit whether she gives them to me or not. Maybe just keep a bottle on hand in case I gain any back.

I know! Everytime I go in there I weigh at least 6 or 8 pounds more on their scale. I even bought a new scale for home because I wondered if mine was off and it's the same things. So IDK. I was weighed at the doctors office the other day and it said 156, but I was fully dressed with shoes and a jacket and it was late in the evening (which I usually weight more in the evening for some reason).
I am 5'6" and weight 158 I need/want to lose around 30 lbs. I would be happy at 130.
what to do when the special needs kid is the bully?
Have you ever kept a secret from your spouse?
