congrats on your amazing journey :)

It can be a very expensive medication and many insurers don't cover it. Additionally, it may not work. It isn't a medication guaranteed to make you lose weight. For example if you don't have issues with certain hormones or other processes in your body it likely won't help much. Possibly before doing this medication you…

the pharmacy gave me a sharps container to dispose of the needle tips. I have Novo Fine tips and the saxenda instructions I believe said to twist the clear cap back on after then unscrew the needle tip from the pen so that is what I do then I drop it in the sharps container. When it is full I am to bring it back to the…

For what it is worth - Saxenda is not really for people that calories in / calories out works for. Though it is being marketed as a weight loss drug, it doesn't have magical weight loss properties. There are no claims of thermogenesis or blocking fat or anything like that. It is designed to fix metabolic issues including…

I'm no expert, but 800 calories seems really low. If you are in fact eating only 800 calories and not underestimating calories it might be worth seeing a doctor to figure out why over 800 calories causes weight gain. There are some medical issues that can cause people to gain weight with really low calorie intake - though…

I started it 2 weeks ago and it definitely limited my appetite. I produce too much insulin so a side effect of that is never feeling "full" - Saxenda has definitely helped with that. I actually started a blog detailing my experience thus far because I couldn't find a ton of info out there on it before I started it lol :)…

I started Saxenda 2 weeks ago I don't know any facebook groups but I did start a blog about my experiences thus far because I couldn't find a ton of reviews out there before I started. I'm down 14lbs since starting it 2 weeks ago

thanks :) yes this community is wonderful :)

congrats!!!! :)

congrats :) that is awesome :)

great job! you look beautiful :)

I did have headaches that would come and go for the first 4 days but other than that no adverse effects. I do find I am fully satisfied and am loving the program for the most part. No cravings either. the hardest time so far was on friday, I went out for lunch with a friend up the gondola and they had pretty much nothing…

I started it 3 weeks ago, not for weight loss but because I was starting to suspect there are foods I don't react well to. It is not a weight loss diet but it can be a good way to see if you have any sensitivities. While you may very well lose weight on it, it may not be sustainable so if you are wanting to do it for the…

somewhat OT, but I really like my basis peak :) though the best choice for you will depend on what sensors you want, do you swim? should it be waterproof? etc :) I don't run or bike and I always knew that I wanted something that would give me the whole picture of my day as much as possible so I went with the Peak :) any…

I have one, got it at the beginning of December and I really like it :) it has a heart rate monitor 24/7 its waterproof - you can swim with it it has the 3 axis acelerometer and measures perspiration and body temp it does measure sleep stuff also there are some things they do need to work on - like if you are watching tv…

[/quote] I see what you're saying, but it also has the other sensors, such as galvanic skin response and skin temperature which alert it to the intensity of whatever you're doing. It alters the caloric burn accordingly. This is the tech that came from Bodymedia, which was THE most accurate first generation tracker. So, it…

I like the basis peak, it has all of the sensors of the body media plus a 24/7 hr monitor and is waterproof. It will sync to your iphone but not to myfitnesspal (though they have said it is a highly requested feature and it might in an upgrade of the firmware)

yes IamMCM I would love a simple notification or even just for it to vibrate if I have been inactive for a set time period, but I can wait for that :) aside from that, I love my Basis Peak :)

I have the basis peak and I love the 24/7 hr monitor and that I can swim with it. It has all the sensors you can imagine and it works great so far.

I love mine!!!! I have had it almost a month and it's a great fitness tracker :)

I love mine :) I have had it almost a month now and it is great. I find the battery lasts about 3 days, but if I charge it while I shower it hasn't needed charging outside of that yet. I know a lot of basis peak users are complaining about the lack of smart watch features but I didn't buy it for a smart watch I bought it…
