Hi I am Lori

I am 50 and would like to lose about 50 lbs. I am working with a doctor and dietician. I started a medicine called Qsymia yesterday and a VLCD for a week. They ran lab tests before I began and I got some bad news. My blood sugar is in the diabetic range and my lipids are high. Also, I have a fatty liver. I am hoping those will improve with diet and exercise. I go back next week.

I lost 5 lbs on my own just following the advice they gave me before I started the medicine. I like this app for counting calories. It makes it so easy. My sister invited me to a weight loss/maintenance challenge. We weighed in today. My scale isn't great. It reads a little differently when it is moved.

I got hungry yesterday so today I bought some veggies. Most of what I eat this week is packaged food. I guess it is okay, but I would rather eat regular food.

If anyone has gone through something like this (my sister says it is like medifast with the packaged food) I would like to hear what it was like. I searched for the med, but it doesn't seem like there are many people on it. I would like to find a support group online for it but I am not finding anything.

Prepping whole foods would be best for you. Feel free to add me!
