Woohoo! I just got back from my first weigh-in!

2. Congratulations!

5. Thanks.

I'm super-excited right now, but that's probably because I'm all hopped up on appetite suppressants and a vitamin B12 injection. :crazy:

3. wonderful, _testify_

[_testify_]

7. Thank you - I appreciate the support!

It's costing me a small fortune but it's effective. Me, my gf and our housemate are all on the same doctor's plan, so we're turning it into a fun competition instead of commiserating...

11. Congrats, neighbor!

86 lbs in 5 months seems like a lot to me, but it most certainly can be done!

Stay with it!

[_testify_]

16. Thanks!

It is alot, but patients on this diet usually average 5lbs lost per week, with men outperforming women to an extent. I just have to keep up my end of the bargain. (I explained the methods a bit more in the next reply)

The way I see it, I've spent my whole life eating like a king. If I can't muster the willpower and discipline to endure half a year of "suffering", I'm not the person I tell myself I am.

12. Care to share what plan?

I tried LA Weight Loss before with some success but fell off the wagon after 15 lbs, when my goal was 25 :-( I need to try something again.

14. It's a local doctor's office here in Tampa

There might be something similar near you.

The basic premise:

Low fat - low calorie - low carb diet (10 ounces of lean protein plus 2-4 cups of approved vegetables)
Moderate exercise and staying hydrated
Weekly injections of B12 and amino acids
Prescription appetite suppressants, fat burners, and multivitamins throughout the day

It's a crash diet to start, but they wean you off it as you approach your goal, and give you the opportunity to come in monthly rather than weekly to help you maintain at that point.

Very popular, very reputable doctors...and very expensive! And of course, insurance doesn't cover it at all.

19. I'm curious as to the scripts

both the app suppressants and the fat burners.
