Wegovy 1.75 Down 25 pounds

6 months into this journey so far so good. Very slow and steady. I was 282 now 257 this morning. Tomorrow is my birthday and my goal was 30 pounds down but it's ok at least my scale isn't moving up anymore. 25 pounds off is over 2 dress sizes!
I tried at first to keep on being vegan/vegetarian mainly but the carbs were stalling my weight loss and I couldn't lose any more. Now, I eat animal protein again.
I increase my shots very slowly so that I don't get sick or side effects. This shot isn't a cure but it helps with food noise most of the time. I get full quickly. I'm eating like someone who had stomach surgery most of the time. High protein, low carbs, and moving more. I feel 100% better mentally. I still get very frustrated with my weight but I know it took many years to get this fat and out of shape. I see others doing better than me on the shots and I'm a little jealous but happy for them at the same time. I want this! My health.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 59 and I want to be healthy as soon as I can. I have extra skin but I don't care. I hope the slow weight loss will help my skin come back.
I'm finally in menopause so it is very hard to lose weight. My hormones are all weird and that makes me a bit crazy. I am hopeful to be down another 25 or more by the end of this year. I want to be under 200 so much for my health. My sugar levels are normal, I need to have my fat levels checked again in Oct - I hope they are not high anymore. We will see.
My sister is doing great, she has lost over 85 pounds in 1 year and 1/2. I know I can do this!
I continue to swim and walk for exercise. I haven't been in the gym yet. That is also why my numbers are moving down fast enough. I need to suck it up and try and cry and just get over my fears.
Nothing comes easy. And that's ok too…journey continues.
