Weight Loss and Weddings.

I have been trying to lose weight for... well forever. I've done every diet, tried a ton of exercises, and nothing. So my doctor put me on Metformin, but my body was not having it. AT ALL. I was in the bathroom just minutes after eating, and I still was able to gain 7 lbs. My doc decided to go a little more drastic. Phentermine. And its ( Read more... )

Thank you. This struggle may actually come to the end.

And thank you for the compliments on the guestbook. I don't think we are are "gorgeous" but it was so laid back. Our photographer was actually a friend of mine from high school and she is amazing!

That guestbook is beautiful! I wish I would have thought to put love quotes in mine - darnit!

I addressed the president's invitation as "President and First Lady Obama". I didn't have room for much more. I'm pretty sure they'll know who you mean. ;)

The book was set up with those quotes. I altered and deleted some of the ones I felt didn't fit. Mixbook was a lot easier to customize than Shutterfly, which is why I went with them.

You know what? I never lost weight on Met... I think that's BS. I decided to go off all medication and try doing supplements, exercize and diet. It worked! But if you have found a drug that works for you and you feel good about it - that's awesome.

Congrats on the weight loss you've already accomplished!!! I know how hard it is when you are first starting out to see a number you thought you never would... or at least that's how it was in my case. You're brave for putting your actual weight up here! I've never done that.

I lost about 15 lbs on met in the 3 months I was on it previously. This time it was just awful though.

I am very honest about my weight, because I feel like if I'm not I will start to fool myself and then I will let it get worse.

I have good luck with Metformin, but I also have to combine it with serious diet and exercise. I still haven't gotten up to the 4 pills a day I'm supposed to take though. My body is tolerating three at the moment, and I'm not brave enough to up it yet. :S Congrats on your weight loss! That's really exciting when you've been struggling and start to see the scale move.
