I'm stopping the duromine now as I've gone from barrel apple, pear & now to hour glass (well almost )....haha....
After panbesy & duromine : evolution of my body ...lol.. |
But the truth is I miss the junk food! OK I'm not going to dive straight in & gobble up everything in sight, just that a bag of chips & some coke could be fun after 2 weeks of diet!
What I think of weight loss pills like duromine & panbesy? For me, it's very effective. Still I know we shouldn't rely on meds like these all the time. So need to really eat healthy from now on!
Hey Poppy I like your before & after pix hee....
ReplyDeleteThank You very much.....
DeleteI really feel that way :)
So happy now!
Don't think I'll ever achieve the hour glass..... don't mind being a stick...heehee
ReplyDeleteI'll kill to look like a stick, can wear skinny jeans- love those! Now my legs so short & plump :(
DeleteI like model-like skinny, wear carry all kinds of clothes with grace .
DeleteI always thought guys like shapely girls ?
ReplyDeleteDon't know about that, but one thing for sure they definitely do not like fat girls....lol....
DeleteAs if we like fat boys ...lol... !
DeleteHey I think there's always a double standard with regards to being fat for guys & girls. Girls have it worse, for sure!
DeleteYou see tons of fat guys with real nice girls but not vice versa , sad sad! :(
Yes agree! maybe becoz those fat guys have money power. you will seldom see a fat jumbo-size girl with hot and goodlooking guy.
DeleteI disagree, if fat jumbo size girl has money, I'm sure she'll have no trouble finding some dude ....lol....
DeleteHi girl, congrats on your weight lost! Just a qns, did u exercise in these two weeks? Or purely based on the pills to slimmed down?
ReplyDeleteThanks Bella....
DeleteIf you mean exercise as in the regular 1hour gym sessions or jogging, then NO. I didn't do that.
But I do feel a bit hyped up, so I do more house work then before....lol..... also everyone suggested walking, so I walk more than I usually do :) I think that helps much :)
Whoa. Okk. Hmm. The fast weight lost, does it makes your skin feel loose ? Or u kinda slim down and look really the thin kind and not the alot of excess skinn kind? Im 3days into it, lost 1.5kg. Looking forward to see changes in my body.
DeleteWow, 3 days & already lost 1.5 that's like very good ! :D
DeleteMy skin didn't feel loose . My friend told me to put moisturiser , maybe that helps. Also maybe my "weight gain" was only quite recent. As in I wasn't that heavy for a long time, so maybe because of that, the skin can 'return' to it's 'former ' state easy. I think , if the skin has been stretch for a long time, then it'll lose the elasticity , & once the weight is gone, the skin becomes loose.
Hi Bella, 3 days -lost 1.5kg, that's remarkable... how you do it?
DeleteDo everyone exercise as well?
Poppy: thanks girl! Think i shouldnt hit the gym for the time being then. Scared will weigh heavier cause of the nuscles. :/ mind sharing how much u used to weigh? (:
ReplyDeleteHi tia: hmm. Once u consume the pill you tend to eat lesser or wouldnt feel hungry. But must must musy rmb to still eat. And drink lots of water. Cause it will help to flush your toxin n fats out. Hmm. And maybe moderate cardio exercise will do i guess. (:
Thanks Bella! By the way what's cardio exercise? What's the difference betw 'normal' exercise & cardio? Want to try this pill, but better get all my 'must' & 'must-not dos' right first...lol... thanks all for sharing.
DeleteCardio refers to the heart, the term is used in fitness to keep the heart healthy- cardio exercises are exercises that makes the heart pump faster- will include things like jogging, cycling etc.
DeleteBut if you are on panbesy, I don't suggest jogging- something lighter is better.
Everyone suggest do yoga :D
DeleteHi do you still have remaining pills? Do you mind selling it? :)
ReplyDeleteSorry... want to save them for future use just in case. Why do don't you go see Dr, he's nice :)
DeleteHi Poppy what if the pill not suitable?
DeleteHi JJ ,what you mean by not suitable? You mean having side effects?
DeleteYes, I heard some people have bad side effects.
Deleteok... side effects are expected & normal - that don't mean you are not suitable.
DeleteNormal side effects include thirst, no hunger , alertness ,insomnia etc...
The common practise is to take alternate days if you are having really bad side effects , and that usually do the trick.
Most people just take everyday for best results:)
Thnx Poppy , guess it's worth it to suffer a bit for weight loss...haha...
DeleteHi Poppy just wondering have your weight rebound ?
ReplyDeleteNo lah where got so easily rebound one?????
DeleteI no longer eat so much snacks & limit my coke & carbo also I exercise.
Winnie those people who kept saying their weight rebound are those who didn't not tell you the whole story, like how they pig out after the meds. Of course , if one do that, you'll sure to gain weight! That's common sense.
DeleteSo if you take this meds, might as well lead a healthy lifestyle after that- then you can be sure, the weight will not come back :)
True, I find it very misleading, the way they claim how their weight bound.
DeleteBut some really do rebound.
DeleteSure..... as if they don't eat like a pig, the weight will appear out of thin air ....LMAO....
Deletepls lah, when you guys read something, just think abt it for a second before believing.
Sometimes its just wate retention, which easily happens. dr keith ong tells me that it works best for ppl with serious water retention. It flushes the 'bloatness' out. Haha. And water retention is very easy to get back, even without eating much.
DeleteAnyone take more than 30mg before? I'm dying to lose more weight faster!
ReplyDeleteYou should just keep to the 30mg. It's recommended dosage for a reason !
DeleteThanks, I did stick to the 30mg. By the way, I ate so little, because the pill cause my appeptite to sort of disappear completely- I see my favourite chocolate, also got no mood to eat...haha.... my boy friend so impressed! I was a chocolate freak before:)
DeleteYou are lucky, I still feel hungry after taking the meds.
DeleteSo I eat , lucky after a little food I suddenly feel full- That really cuts down my food intake quite a bit! Cant wait to lose all the weight!
For me , 15 mg is enough. I took like 2 weeks of that before going on to 30 mg for another 3 weeks. Side effects is lesser that way for me.
ReplyDeleteYou ask for 2 weeks of 15 mg? From what I read Dr keith always give 3 tabs of 15mg only.
DeleteI was given 3, 15mg too & 1 month of 30mg. Now on my 2nd week- lost a total of 4.5 kg already..... happiness!!!!
DeleteWhat's your initial BMI?
DeleteHi poopy! Are you still here? I hope you are :) I am currently weighing around 47kg and i am about 154 cm tall. My bmi is in the "healthy" range and I am not overweight. Do you think it is possible for me to get duromine anywhere in singapore? I look overweight, but my weight and height just says no :(
ReplyDeleteHaha... I'm here of course ! Always ready to answer questions :))
DeleteYou can go to my doctor & see what he says.
So many ways of losing weight you know, he's best !
Hi Poppy, I'm shy, how do I ask for panbesy or duromine from doctor? It's not like having a cough or cold which is obvious. pls help
ReplyDeleteHi Tanggie, Dr Keith is famous for weight loss management - he sees people like us all the time, so, there's no reason to be shy. Just tell him you want to lose weight- that's all :)
Deletehi Poppy, so glad to have chanced upon your blog:) I took duromine 30mg for a mth and roughly lost about 6kg hehe- i was real lazy to workout. What i did was just eat lesser+ healthier, but i still do eat my fav food once in a while. However i was like freaking out after reading about rebound weight gain lah, until i saw yr blog!! yay. All i have to do is just watch what i eat everyday. However my question is if i was roughly on a 700 calories diet (whilst on the pill) and now after the pills to maintain i do around 900-1000 calories, will i put everything back on? Hahah sort fr the long question yeah, hope to hear from you soon!! :)
ReplyDeleteThing is when you increase your calories, the weight will naturally increase....... HOWEVER.... all you need to do is to move around more like , walking is best Or, do yoga & you'll be FINE :))
DeleteMe too, lazy like hell ....lol..... even yoga is too much for me now, so I walk everywhere- to the mrt, to the food courts, SHOPPING...... that's my exercise & I'm still looking good !!!!!
I'm like super lazy to exercise too, that's why got so fat. After 1 month of pills I'm down 4 kg. Hate to exercise , so I chose to cut down on snacks & fizzy drinks lor. That seems to work so far ..lol....
DeleteDoes it mean that if we take this panbesy but we R "not lazy" to work out we can lose more faster? I'm thinking of trying. Have put on much weight these few months due to stress > & over eating :((
DeleteThat's right :) jia you
DeleteBut don't "over- do" workout & develop muscles.... muscles are heavy !
DeleteHappens to me, I look very trim but don't understand why my weight is not dropping as fast, until doc told me is my muscles...haha...
hi Ayushi, so you look slim but weigh heavy ? That's ok right?
DeleteThe look is more important :)
For me, my bones are heavy, so I weigh more than my friend who's abt the same size. But both of us are fleshy too, so thinking of starting on this panbesy thingie.
Glad I found this blog...haha..
These days I'm ok... as long as I look slim & trim.
DeleteKinda love my muscles - makes me look healthy.
I do like working -out.
But don't recommend it for people who want to look slim & light.
I think muscle is nice but the body must lean so it looks fit and toned. I think if the body is bloated due to water retention, with additional muscle will make it looks like a hulk (I think...).
DeleteAnyway, is this pill effective to flush away the water retention?
Very effective for water retention. I lost 1kg within first day! That surely must be water !Funny right??? Cant wait for the end of the month. Took the pills to slim down before vacation- so that I'll look better in pics....lol...
DeleteIf the side effect make us thirsty, should we not drink to prevent bloatness or water retention?
DeleteHi Poppy, may I know how tall are you and what is your weight before and after this medication?
ReplyDeleteI am 1.7 & was 69kg (scream !!!!!!) so fat & ugly.
DeleteI lost about 6 kg after 3 weeks ( no junk food during this time )
Stop medication as I wanted to do the rest on my own.
Now I change my eating habits & do exercises maintaining at 59 kg- for my height that's very good. Besides I have heavy bones so I do look quite slim now, compare to before- like a barrel ...haha!
Important: must do exercises after you stop medication :))
woahh you're so tall!!! 59kg must be damned good already! 170cm-110 = 60kg.
DeleteYes I tower over many friends, so when I was heavier, I look like a giant! That's why I took the pills. Now much much better :)
DeleteI am also tall !
DeleteI agree, when you are tall, you NEED to be slim but best willowy.
If not..... you'll seem bigger than guys!
Anyone ever come back to doctor to get the 2nd month supply if 1 month supply didnt give u any result? What to tell the doctor?
ReplyDeleteJust tell the truth lor. Say you need a 2nd month.
DeleteLike I need to lose 10kg, I took 1 month to try, see if I can tahan the side effects. End up it's ok, just feel damn thirsty all the time that's all & that's initially. After a week, even that disappears. Anyway I went back to get 2nd month, cos I needed to lose 6 more kg.
Beastie, do you need to pay consultation fee again when u visit dr ong to get the2nd month supply?
DeleteNo :)
DeletePoppy, how is your heartbeat during medication? After u stop the medication and u can exercise already and heartbeat became normal? Im afraid the side effect is still following even until u stop the medication.
ReplyDeleteMy heart did beat a little faster immediately after I take it, something like when I do a lot of exercises. But after a while I don't notice it anymore- was thinking it's just an initial reaction from the body.
DeleteNo lah... after you stop the meds there will be no more side effects. Don't worry :))
I feel even with medication you still can exercise, but don't do strenuous ones like jogging. Light exercises, walking, yoga are all very beneficial -with or without medication. My 2 cts.
DeleteIf got constipation ,what to do?
ReplyDeleteTake prune juice or chai seeds (more expensive ).
DeleteMy 5th day, the thirst has improved a little, or maybe I'm getting used to it?
ReplyDeleteI lost 1.7kg already ...yay !
Good for you Kate !!!
DeleteHi Poppy, may I know how the panbesy pills look like?
ReplyDeleteSorry for late reply. It's in a capsule form :)
DeleteHello, how much does it cost now.. anyone know? for duromine and consultation
