Phentermine Queen

Struggling with hyothyroidism. Sweating in the gym. Writing weird blogs. 

[phenterminequeen-blog]

On the left you see me six weeks ago. On the right is me today. You might not be able to tell, but i can see all the progress in the world. My posture has excelled, my legs have lengthened, And just look at those shoulders. but, where I see the most progress is my obliques. Ive also had trouble getting rid of them, no matter the exercise. I have realized that without the proper fat fighting diet, it is impossible to slim down in that region. 

So, I’ll share my bi-weekly grocery list 

plain, no flavor greek yogurt

fresh strawberries (i’d get blueberries but i HATE them), grapefruit, mango, avocado, bell peppers (i only like the green kind), carrots, spinach and other leafy greens 

an assortment of frozen fruits

low/no sodium chicken broth

fresh ORGANIC chicken breast/ salmon/tuna/ground turkey

granola with chia seeds

pre-made Naked smoothies (Green Boost) 

what goes into your body is truly what will come out of it. Eating things rich in vitamins is the most important things I've learned. Its not so much counting calories, but it is more so eating things that are very well balanced. If it is low in sugar, it is probably high in fat; if its low on carbs, it is probably also low on protein. ALWAYS READ YOUR FOOD LABELS BEFORE YOU EAT.

BBG Week 6

I’ve approached week six of Kayla Insine’s BBG program. This is the halfway point for the program. I am beyond impressed with myself for coming this far. I never thought that it would be possible. I have changed my body back to a way i never thought that i would ever see again. But, with the immense amount of progress i have made, it is important for me to go back and think of WHY i even striated to do this to my body in the first place. WHAT made this journey possible for me?

It is hard work, determination, sweat and tears that makes this possible. Let’s not forget discipline. 

Before you ever try this program, know WHY you are doing it. Set goals for yourself. Find a reason for YOURSELF to get in shape. Not a reason for someone else, not to fit into societies definition of beauty, but fin da reason why changing your body would make you happy. 

For me, its all about challenging myself. I want to do one more pushup today than yesterday. I want to run one mile more than last week. I want to see my body and endurance the way that it was in high school. It was like that several years ago, it can be like that again. Im doing it for myself. none other than myself. 

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

Day 1 is immediately following my first BBG workout (legs and cardio). I WAS SO SORE. IM STILL SORE. I’ve done many hard workouts but never have i ever ever done a workout that kick ass. Shamefully, i skipped a day because the soreness was too much for me to handle.Don’t worry, I had a 2 hour cheer/dance practice all day. I finished the Day 2 off with an awesome turkey burger with gouda cheese and Mexican Street Corn made by a sweet friend. So, Day 3 is technically day 2 of BBG, but im just going to keep it at Day 3 to keep it simple (I’ll catch up tomorrow). Day 3 (Day 2 of BBG Arms and Abs) went really well. I enjoyed the workouts for this day a lot more than the legs. However, pushups were SO hard... but I've never been able to do pushups well. BUT, my form was actually right for ONCE in my entire life (elbows in instead of out). So, the Day 3 photo was taken immediately after that workout (day 2 BBG). Im sure for you all it is hard to see any difference but to me i can kind of see a change. Unfortunately, the scale only moved .5 lbs in this time span.. soo.., im hoping that the dead weight in my legs is whats making the scale stay sedentary. I’m still taking the Phentermine, however i think that it has lost its magical weightless powers it had a year ago, or even a month ago. But, i can't complain too much because the Phentermine is definitely keeping me energized and focused (along with tons of B12) and with these BBG works outs, focus is SO important. Fitness is certainly a mental challenge more than a physical challenge. I can't forget to mention how phentermine has been curving my cravings. Lately Ive been getting the most random cravings at the most random times. But as long as i take the phentermine, I am fine and the cravings are not apparent.

bbg workout plan

Yep, BBG. No, its not Big Beautiful Girl, either. BBG is the latest social media workout craze. The Bikini Body Guide is a new workout plan used by thousands to help ladies achieve her dream body. I’ve recently adopted this new workout plan. It alternates between HIIT cardio and LISS with a mix of stretching and light weights. The manual gives you exact workouts to perform on exact days. Its a really great mix, but beware, it is not for beginners. Today i completed day one but jesus christ alive my legs hurt so bad. Ive never completed a workout that makes my legs feel so weak. But, I know in the end it is worth it. Im looking forward to completing the 12 week program and finally start feeling confident in a bikini again. The fitness guide also encourages its readers to make social media accounts to keep up with progress and share with friends. Ive only started the first day, but if you'd like to follow my instagram, feel free and i will follow back! @sweatwithmorgan I can't wait to keep up with everyone’s fitness goals and gains. 

xo, Morgan

annnnnnd i’m back...

Update: I’m back and I known you've missed me if you were keeping up with y weight loss saga. So, celebrating my return from the depths of nowhere, I have good news and I have bad news. Bad news: I fell off the wagon, stopped taking my phentermine, stop working out, and let my eating go crazy. Like, I was eating some sort of fast food EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. obviously not very good. So, as of April 2015, I made it down to 180, awesome, right? Well, due to my nasty habits, i made it all the way back up to 215 January 2016, boo. So, now i smh redemption time. Good news: PHENTERMINE QUEEN IS BACK AND READY TO REIGN AGAIN. For real. I started Phentermine again February 2016. At my march weigh in I was down to 203, 2 lbs of water weight and down 2 inches off my waist. The progress will only keep going. Stay tuned for more about my recent body transformations

[phenterminequeen-blog]

do excuse me for being so incredibly late in postings. I have moved back upstate for school and needless to say, things have been incredibly CRAZY. running place to place, sorority event to fraternity event, class to class and still managing to find time to study. SO. February turned out to be not so successful BUT I'm still kicking ass right now. my normal workout turned from an elliptical routine to an hour long stroll around my FREEZING campus with my book bag on my back. as far as food goes... well it's college. and eating is very hard for me to do. I've found myself eating one, maybe two meals a day. and other days eating all three meals a day buffet style. my goal this month is to be more time consistent with eating meals and insuring a while three HEALTHY meals with small snacks in-between. Another goals this month, I WILL drink more water. I have done VERY poorly this month by not drinking copious amount of water. This has also caused my water weight level to increase dramatically. ALSO has caused me to be very... well.. backed up to say the least. I haven't "been to the bathroom" in quite a few weeks. soo... I usually do not recommend doing this, but I do plan to use a laxative/colon cleanse for the next week and after I am "regulated" continue taking a daily fiber supplement to prevent this from happening again. But, on the bright side, I am down an entire 20 odds pounds, down 4 inches on my waist... so, I'm feeling good. I will for sure be posting more photos soon. ttyl. xoxo Morgan

u take a lot of selfies. do u think ur pretty or smoething? ur not

hi there, anon. i didn’t realize i took a lot of selfies. thanks for the info. so, your question was whether i think i’m pretty. you already answered that no, i am not. 

and i have to agree, anon. i don’t think i’m pretty bc i’m not.

i’m fat.

i always have a double chin.

i constantly look like i haven’t slept in a week bc of my dark circles

and, i always look sunburnt. idfk why

i have this white line across my nose that makeup can’t cover up 

i have tons of wrinkles on my forehead. like what the hell? i’m 25

also, it’s the size of fucking texas

i still don’t know how to smile in pictures bc i hate my fucking teeth

my feet are flat. my hips are huge. my boobs are weird. i am covered in stretch marks. my voice is grating. my ears stick out two miles from my head. i am always fucking sweating and i’ve been asked if i was pregnant more times than i can count. 

so, you’re right. i’m not pretty. i can’t stand the way i look.

which is why it’s so fucking important that i post “a lot” of selfies. bc, anon, you’d better fucking believe that if i look in the mirror that day and don’t cringe, i’m gonna take a fucking picture to save that tiny little second. and GOD FORBID i show the world that i posses a little self love every once in a fucking while. 

TO ANYONE READING THIS: DON’T EVER LET SOMEONE MAKE YOU FEEL ASHAMED FOR LIKING THE WAY YOU LOOK—EVEN IF IT’S JUST FOR A SECOND. IF YOU LOOK NICE, YOU TAKE THAT FUCKING SELFIE AND YOU SHOW IT TO THE GOD DAMN WORLD BC THEY DESERVE TO SEE THE GOD/GODDESS YOU ARE!

that beard finally coming in? go ahead, bro. take a selfie.

you finally got that piercing you’ve been wanting? not really my style, but you’re fucking rocking it. take a selfie.

your boobs look awesome in that shirt? take a selfie.

you finally lose or gain that weight you’ve been working on? take a selfie.

your eyeliner look awesome? your new sunglasses make you look like  a celebrity avoiding the paparazzi? you killing that tux? you feel a tiny, rare level of self love? you always on a high level of self love? you just like your face? 

TAKE A MOTHAFUCKING SELFIE!

thanks for the question, anon. this one’s for you.

Yes! All of the fucking yes… This girl is gorgeous and all of you are too! Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

[phenterminequeen-blog]

As I said, these pants make you look twenty pounds lighter. They're wonderful for a quick confidence booster. And also for going to the club. (So stretchy for dancing with your girlfriends!)

[phenterminequeen-blog]

Today was a great day on the scale! Down to 206! The scale was actually consistent three time this morning! I got a Gazelle air walker, elliptical type thing as a gift from a friend yesterday. I spent about an hour on it while watch American Horror Story yesterday. Let me tell you, BEST WAY TO WORK OUT. I could have done it all day long. (Wish I would have had the time). So excited to take it back to my dorm. (Helloooo skinny Morgan). It was my first actual, hard core cardio workout since starting phentermine and u had energy ALL DAY LONG. I had such a boost. And by the results today, obviously it worked. The phentermine has definitely taught me how to shrink my portions and control my hunger. (But I woke up last night super hungry. Boo). Im so glad that it is teaching me how to make more important, healthy food choices. Also, tracking my calories, fat, protein, carbs, etc on MyFitnessPal is amazing! I always think twice about eating that Reece’s PeanutButter Cup. It’s a blessing. I also remember about three years ago, I would suck in my stomach every time I walked, worked out, or went in public (insecurity I guess). I saw a lot of results just through abdominal training (diaphragm training?). So, throughout yesterday working out and just staying around the house, I started to suck in all the time. I can definitely say that I’ve re-learned how to do it consistently. I can almost keep it all in subconsciously. Yay! Today was a good day. Also, I’ve found these pants from Old Navy that are like prego women pants. But they sit higher on the waist, so when I wear them, it looks like I’ve lost about 20 pounds. I definitely recommend them to anyone needing a quick fix for an outward appearance. Love them (even though they look funny around the waist. [just wear a longer shirt].). Hoping to see more results tomorrow! Xo-Morgan

[phenterminequeen-blog]

So, here I am today. 207 pounds. (I think) I cannot find a scale around this home that will give me an accurate or consistent reading. So, after stepping off and on the scale numerous times, I just chose the number that appeared more than once. I didn't eat too much yesterday and it upsets me that I still look this way.. I want results and I want them now (insert angry face). Today I enjoyed two eggs and slice of peanut butter toast (a personal favorite). Dinner has yet to come, hopefully I will do well. I hate to think that I look like a pregnant woman in this photo.. When I know good and well that I am not. The stretch marks between my thighs have significantly reduced once more. However, they are still prominent on my stomach. And to top it off, I have found some growing around my upper arms. I can't catch a break. I'm ready to return to school and begin a routine schedule packed with studying, working out and clean eating. I'm in need for a little motivation at this point. Xo-Morgan

shout out to the girls that hate their bodies but are trying really really hard to find the beauty and comfort in them because that shit is hard and takes a lot of time and is emotionally exhausting. i’m proud of y’all.

[phenterminequeen-blog]

I've started using Runtastic. And I've burned 338 calories walking. It's not much but it's something to be a little proud of, right?

[phenterminequeen-blog]

This isn’t a change at all from yesterday, but I feel that it’s necessary to document everyday to monitor even a minor change happening. It’s coming. Don't judge. I haven't changed my clothes. It was lazy day yesterday. (Not too good for fitness, right?) I’m going to be fit. Xo-Morgan

[phenterminequeen-blog]

This is my current weight (well, yesterday’s). 208. My legs, feet, hands, and face have seen a pretty good reduction. My feet are seriously wrinkled due to the swelling I once had going down. The stretch marks on the inside of my thighs have gone from a deep purple color to a more pale contrast to my skin tone. But my stomach continues to worsen (swollen and DARK, wide stretch marks) I have done light working out and greatly reducing my portion sizes. However, I’m beginning to regain my appetite which can be a good or bad thing. Now I actually have to eat. Yesterday I attempted to detox my body by drinking a total of two gallons of water but I think that did more harm than good due to water retention (possibly). I’ve began to document everything that I do into My Fitness Pal. The app is also linked to Runtastic and several other fitness apps. I’m hoping that someone gets me a Fitbit for a late Christmas/birthday present so that I can accurately count the amount of calories burned thought the day and while working out. (Probably not going to happen). It’s very helpful to see what all I’m eating and the exact nutritional value of everything. It really makes me think twice about eating that slice of pizza with friends. I’ve also devoted myself to some serious lifestyle changes thanks to my newly skinny friend, Kristen. (My motivation at the time). I’ve decided to watch what I eat, no matter the occasion. While eating out, I’m actually going to eat clean. That’s no exception. No carbs past three pm. Working out everyday. No excuses. Water water water. And documenting everything, everyday. Aside from those, I’m also planning on reducing my daily intake of cigarettes, alcohol, and sugar. I’m hoping that I can finally be the 140 pound hit girl that I know is under the 95 pounds of fat that in bearing. I WILL do this. Xo-Morgan
