Hi Welsh! You certainly can do it!!! A few things I'm doing that seem to be working so far that maybe will resonate are: 1. I decided I really really wanted to be healthy. I'm willing to do whatever I can think of to do it. And to do the things that I want meant I had to prioritize myself for once. If you can really do…

I'm 52 and just took my 4th dose of 1mg. I'm not sure how much I've lost since starting Wegovy because I started my health stuff about 2 months before getting on it (weird. I should look). <Saves draft> ok: SW 234 WW 224 (Wegovy weight 😊 March 31) CW 204 GW 160 So lost about 20 pounds in 11 weeks on Wegovy. I hope that…

Whoo did I have a crappy food day, too! Gonna try to put in some movement this weekend to make some headway. I've been losing, so I think I was taking that for granted. But I think my body might've figured it out today. 😂 We'll see on the scale in the morning. Happy weekend to y'all, too!

I did the same thing after vacation. It took a couple of weeks to even get where I am now which is logging but nothing rust. Maybe you're having the same lag. Be strong!!! It's not the end of the world. You be aiiiight.

Oh speaking of accountability, I'm not walking. I'm just bummed and sleeping all day. I'll sort this out. It's work-related. And I know if I walk my mood will improve. 96 degree weather just doesn't call me outside. But I'll try tomorrow morning.

Silly thing, but... Are you eating on smaller plates with smaller forks? I've done that for years. I for sure don't eat as much as hubby does on his giant plate. Of course, he weighs slightly less than I do. Maybe not anymore tomorrow! NSV I use a different hole for my watch now. I need it lol. Second day of logging.…

I agree with the no appetite plus I feel queasy a few days per week. I'm starting to try a fight back strategy, but what I have so far is: **Vanilla whey protein powder plus low fat or no fat fairlife milk (more nutrients according to my dietician) I'm vegetarian so any way to get big protein is my first attempt.…

Au contraire, my sisters. My boobs have shrunk. Which is great actually except that I always bought my shirts big to cover that belly. But it kind of looked like I bought them for the top, if you know what I mean. Now my shirts just look big and kinda hang on me until they get to my belly where they puddle up like jerks.…

I do the food diary, yup. Just getting back into it after a long, brutal vacation (before you roll your eyes, it was an anniversary trip for my sister in law). But before that, I was doing pretty well. And yeah I'm accountable there to my friends. They see it all. Do you use the food diary? I think it's super useful.

Yup. This is what my doctor told me. Need to get my body to use that food. Plus - from a physics standpoint, it's not really as simple as cico. We don't weight our bodies in terms of calories. Even our metabolisms are different from person to person. I've taken the test. I'm guessing others have. I admit it makes not much…

Thanks so much, @HASWLRS

I am and I am. I wasn't eating 1200-1400 calories to get to here. But losing wasn't happening at 1.2-1.4k. My body was reportedly storing everything because I didn't have the hormones to use it. Also possibly why my energy has been bottomed out for so long. I still get my stuff done, but it's not a jolly time up and down…

Weigh in Wednesday: SW 234 CW 208 GW 150 but I'll feel good at 175 Sooooo lazy feeling. I think I'm having some trouble getting it together after vacation. Not walking yet. Not really getting up on time in the morning. Fortunately, I don't have much work to do right now. But getting back into mfp logging. It's a start. My…

So now I'm back too 😆. Thing 1: I went on vacation with the (what I consider) extended family. Brutal. Just brutal. I'm very happy to be home. Thing 2: cats were peeing and pooping all over the house. Sometimes ON ME before I woke up. Figuring that out was tough. But I think we're back on track. Thing 3: Yesterday we moved…

I'm curious. Are the folks debating wegovy taking it currently? I don't want anyone to stop talking. I just wondered. I'm on it. I don't have any medical conditions, yet. But I figure every day I carry this much extra weight is additional risk to my heart, my joints, my other organs, my hormones, for breast cancer... I…

I understand you will at least lessen the frequency of the doses. Once per month maybe instead of once per week. Then less maybe... Good luck! I hope you have an easy week of it 😺

@HASWLRS you Canadians can sure put up with some less than perfect weather! I think that's super! I've often considered moving up there just to get more active. Awesome job!

Update: I went 50 calories over last night after all. 250 calories is not enough to get me through the evening. Now I know! I haven't done this in awhile... SW 234 CW 210 GW 150 I keep thinking right before I get on the scale that my weight will be back up to the 220s. Weird how I expect something (in my case, I'll call it…

So many successes in these recent posts. @pamperedlinny in my years of gaining and losing weight, I've found the most useful piece of work is the logging. If I don't log, I overeat. Usually out of ignorance, not even binging. Today I almost went over my calories because I didn't log until 4:30. Now I realize I only have…

Walked. It wasn't earth-shattering lol. But I did it. My issue lately is that I don't enjoy walking around my neighborhood. It's the dumbest thing. But our place is getting dumpy. Tires on the side of the road for months. Yards grown out into the street. And this house full of outside cats with... I'll just leave it there.…

I'm with you @HASWLRS with the out of shape stuff. I stopped PT because my back was getting zero better. Then it got slightly better and I stopped walking and it got better. Now I'm not doing PT or walking and it's worse again. I have to think it's just that weak. Gonna be a long haul to getting our bodies strong again.…

Welp, I guess nobody is sharing 😉. But I can still write a little in case someone is looking for information. I started 0.5 mg on Friday. No intestinal issues. Had a quick couple of pound weight loss the couple of days following, as I did right after I started the 0.25 mg.

Finally had a side effect on week 2 that I'll share in case anyone new to the meds is reading this: constipation for a few days. That so seldom happens to me that I had to research what you do. Miralax mix in pack. No taste. Drank it one afternoon. Next day when I had time, took care of business with no trouble. Sorry to…

Hi everyone! Look at all the stuff you have in your lives. I'm trying to decide whether I'm jealous that you have so much to do or relieved that I don't have so much to do lol. I have only one get together this week and all involved have agreed we'll have a tiny cake and a tiny piece before 6pm for a birthday. No special…

So much stuff while I've been away from chats! I'm hesitant to say how great things are here ;) I'm on my long weekend healthy retreat and It. Is. Awesome. I'm finished up with day 2. One and a half to go. If only insurance would cover it. There are people here who have been here for weeks! Anyway, I'll tell more when I'm…

I agree. It's def more than appetite. In fact, I didn't know it was an appetite suppressant at all until I read more. It's the part about getting those darn sugars broken down. I'm jazzed! But I will enjoy the appetite part too 😁. It's giving me a shot at intermittent fasting. Now if I can just get off this delicious…

@pamperedlinny that shame thing. That sucks. I wish I had any insight. I had the same thing. I don't feel like eating at night anymore or I would still have it. What is that about, I wonder? It's like I think I haven't earned a treat. And I won't have earned it or deserve it until I am in reasonable shape. I do that with…

Yup I get all that. Not having to be on meds is better than having to be on meds for sho. We'll see how this goes. For now, I'm only on day 4 🤣 That said: no side effects yet. And appetite continues to subside. I didn't quite get to 1000 calories today, though, so I'll need to watch it.

@JuneWalks back in the house!! We do have some new folks. Isn't that cool?! I don't know what roll call is, but... Present? I'm over here on day 4 of my wegovy chugging along. I've had no side effects, but the primary effect of slowing my appetite is already taking I think. Seems like it must be too soon, too low dose. But…
