Hello all!

Andi
53 years old
5’4”

SW: 235
CW: 214.8
GW: 199
UGW: 140

I am Super excited about my progress!!
⭐️ I have increased my Ozempic dose to 1 mg once a week
⭐️ I have dropped my A1C from 6 (prediabetic) to 5.4 (normal) with my cumulative weight loss since January.
⭐️ I have lost 5.6 pounds this month, and a total of 20.2 pounds since starting in January.
⭐️ At one point this month I walked 3.8 miles, so I now know I can increase my step count.

I’m learning that many of the limitations I have placed on myself are hogwash. I’m stronger than I think I am.

Goals for August:

🌻 Reach for Real Food instead of sugar/ processed when I’m hungry.
🌻 Test my dietician’s new parameters for my calories and macro percentages.
🌻 Add core and arm strength training twice a week.
🌻 Restart pool days twice a week. Pool and strength training will both be done on Tuesday/Thursday.
🌻Walk 2 miles at least 3x/week

Non-scale Goals:
🌻Continue writing a Gratitude List every morning.
🌻Restart brewing my Vanilla Chai tea in the morning.
🌻Purchase supplies to start practicing my calligraphy skills again so I can teach classes at a local art gallery.
🌻Pull out my sketchbook and start drawing/playing again.

Hey all!

I'm trying to get back to posting, communicating, and keeping myself accountable. Since school starts for my daughter in 2 days I assume I'll be able to do this without so many distractions.

Since it's August 1, I'm waiting for the new thread to start.

Forgot to update this yesterday...

SW: 294
CW: 276.2 (7/31)
GW (short term): 275
GW (long term): 250

7/31 update: I was down 17.8lbs in nearly a month of watching what I ate and walking every day. That's a lot but I'm sure much of it was water weight (my ankles are still swelled up some so I have more to get rid of). Now comes the hard part where the weight doesn't come off as easily and I get frustrated seeing almost no change on the scale. Hoping these posts keep me motivated to keep going this time. I did hit my short-term goal of 275 a few days ago but then the weight came back up, I think because I wasn't weighing some foods accurately (too much eyeballing adds up throughout the day). I've also started lengthening my walk in the morning. I've done an hour each day which has been 2.8-3.1 miles instead of just around a half hour which was a little over a mile each day. I've started to get back into daydreaming as I walk which makes me want to keep walking because once I get home, I'll be too distracted to just think about random stuff. Of course, this is the Pacific Northwest so the nice weather isn't going to last much longer (maybe until mid-September before it starts raining again). School starts in four weeks so my schedule will have to be completely changed. Hopefully, I'll find a way to keep walking.
