    @Skyleen75 I guess that “magic shot” (LOL) is magic for people with insulin resistance and/or diabetes. As someone diagnosed with IR 30-ish years ago, mainstream doctors thought it wasn’t a “thing,” it would have been a godsend but like gastric sleeve or bypass or a “simple diet,” it is a TOOL. My daughter has used it for 6 weeks and lost 24 pounds but her carb cravings are gone. Even with tools we have to DO THE WORK. 🤷‍♀️ And I assume that eventually people are expected to go off the shot and they need to be able to cope. I totally empathize!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/24: 134.5 - another travel day, but arrived home to weigh. Not sure how accurate it was since it was later in the day.
    10/25: 134.5 - Today begins recovery from 2.5 weeks of vacation where I really didn’t count any calories and probably ate my weight in carbs, desserts, fried foods, etc. Got some good exercise in, but there were too many rest days or travel days that made exercising hard.
    10/26: 132.3 - Super surprised. I got a lot of exercise/move points in, but had a full-on carb binge in the evening.
    10/27: 132.5 - Back to my routines…
    10/28: 132.5 - Same ‘ol, same ‘ol…
    10/29: 134.9 - Yikes! Did not exercise nor did I drink much water. Carb city as well…
    10/30: -
    10/31: -
    11/1: -
    11/2: -

    Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.4 pounds

    @quiltingjaine I take a once per week shot for my type 2 called Trulicity. It does not contain the drug Semaglutide which can cause weight loss. It does state that you may even lose up to 10 pounds while taking it. My girlfried takes it for her diabetes. In the last 90 days she has lost 15 pounds, and 10 pounds in the 3 months prior to that. After the 25 pound weight loss, she still takes shot but has been taken off her Metformin diabetes medications. Me, on the other hand, I have gained weight while taking it. It doesn't help me feel full when I eat. And it's not helping my diabetic numbers either. My weight has went up and so has my daily glucose numbers. Every time I take the shot I get an allergic reaction at the injection site. Rash and severe lump. My friend says the allergy is why it doesn't work the same for me. Of course, I've reported it to my doctor but she has only increased the dose as my numbers have gotten worse. She has also referred me to an endocrinologist but I can't get in until Feb. My doctor says my insurance won't cover anything with Semagludtide. I may just call my insurance company myself. I need something that will work better on my glucose numbers. Any weight loss side effects would be a plus, especially for my diabetes. But changing habits are always key and cannot be substituted. I do understand that 100%. In the end, I think we all want healthier lifestyles and I agree that this is just a TOOL, not an answer. But I would be willing to try it for all the reasons stated above.

    Feeling better today after starting the covid pill yesterday-not sure why we can't just have those on hand for when we test positive.[/quote]

    My theory is that if we had them on hand, we would take them and not get tested and not keep the positive numbers up.

    DD, DGD, and infant DGGS flew to a wedding last weekend. On the flight on Friday night they had beverage and snack service, on the flight back on Sunday there was none “due to COVID.” Same airline. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    **Comments apply to previous day**

    SW RND 203 122.5
    10/24 122.0 Today was my art quilt group. I left the house at 8:30 and got home around 2:30. Lots of sitting and driving!
    10/25 122.0 My glucose and ketones were great this morning considering we had McRib and fries for dinner! DH read they’re back - maybe for the last time and wanted to see if they were as good as the first time - decades ago at the Riverboat McDonald’s in St. Louis. They’re not.
    10/26 122.5 Went to brunch at Omelet House, ate 1 slice of sourdough and some fried potatoes as well as about 1/4 of my 6 egg Chile verde omelet.
    10/27 123.0
    10/28 123.0 I was 123.5 when I got up but after 6 cups of coffee and TMI x 2, I reweighed. That’s not something I usually do but I felt lighter.
    10/29 123.5 Had pot roast and veg (no potatoes for me) for the first time in months. Not DH’s favorite-he tolerates it on occasion because I like it. ❤️ Doctor wasn’t happy with my BP, med asst said “those cuffs aren’t very accurate” before she even checked my BP which is ALWAYS up in office however, I showed her that it was within a couple of points of their machine and my BP is good when not there. He said I had only taken the one med for “a couple of days” but I had taken it for about 2 YEARS (he initiated it) when I realized it was the cause of my vertigo. Added another med which I wasn’t able to pick up when I was headed home from errands in the afternoon. Sorry for the rant - not checking BP now!!!
    10/30 123.0 Took new BP med last night. Not excited about possible side effects especially since the pharmacist said because I had a previous allergic reaction to a CCB I need to watch for it. Plus “peripheral swelling” is on the list.Sorry for another rant. This whole thing is making my BP go up!!!!
