    Welcome new friends! You will find lots of support here. I post my stats once a week, sometimes more because I like to write beginning and ending results.

    1. Highest Weight 170
    2. Feb 1: 162.6
    3. Feb 8: 163.4 ( +.8)
    4. Feb 14: 162.8 (-0.6)
    5. Feb 21: 160.8 (-2)
    6. Mar 1: 162
    7. Mar 8: 160.8 (-1.2)
    8. Mar 15:160.2 (-0.2)
    9. Mar 22: 161.8 (+1.6)
    10. Mar 29: 160.6 (-1.2)
      FINAL STATS for March 31: 160 (2.6 for month)
    11. Apr 1: 160
    12. Apr 8: Did not weigh
    13. Apr 19: 161.6
    14. Apr 26 160
    15. April 27 163 Started Semaglutide
    16. Apr 30: 161.4 FINAL STATS for April (+1.4)
    17. May 1 161.4

    So 4 days in on Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic, whatever) my appetite has definitely decreased, my desire for alcohol has decreased. no other symptoms yet. You start on such a small dose that I am not surprised my weight hasn't moved all that much. I must be patient.

    I would be thrilled to lose another ten pounds. That would put me at 135. It gets harder and takes longer as we go lower.

    Lost 18.6 pounds in the last round. Ended the round at 145.6

    Total weight loss since I started on MFP 67.2 lbs

    It will be harder to lose in this round because I am gradually introducing a few more carbs in my diet (not going hog wild, I have to see how it affects my blood sugar) so that is going to add carb weight. And I asked my PA to lower my BP medicine because I've lost 50 pounds, so she halved it. That means more water weight, since it is primarily a water pill. But I want to get off it, so I'll take the bounce up in weight when it comes and just shoulder through until I lose past it. (It's sweet while it lasted).

    End weight of the last round on April 30 145.6

    Starting weight this round 145.2 So 4/10 of a pound lost. That's a good start.

    Wishing everyone good luck, and determination to make this round a success (ME TOO!) Hoping I don't go crazy adding a few more carbs to the mix!!

    4/30 145.6

    5/1 145.2

    5.4 144.8 met a mini goal when I passed 145. Next mini goal 142.5

    today, when I clicked on BMI in Fitbit's weight section, it said 24.9 with a green dot and the caption of "Ideal". Boy was that NICE to see. I realize I am at the high end of Ideal, but 189 days ago, I was obese. So going from obese (maybe even morbidly obese) to over weight, to ideal BMI β€” that is a big milestone for me.
