Same here

I completed the 2nd week 2 days ago and moved up to 1.8. Weighted myself today and lost 6lbs (2.9 kgs). I feel stuffed for a couple of days everytime the dose goes up but even on hungrier days I eat way less at meals, I feel like this medicine helped my stomach adapt to smaller portions. I'm really grateful, this is the…

Hello everyone! Feel free to add me, I would love having tons of friends for extra motivation! :smiley: https://www.fitbit.com/user/28VC7Z

Thanks for all the feedback :) I noticed caliv0608 brought up the Chantix (Champix here in Europe), well you have no idea how much I googled, asked, read, exhausted the whole internet about it. It was even a bigger dilemma, I heard wonders from someone I know irl and as usual i googled it, there were horror stories of…

What about the 'ritual smokes'? (not sure if this is the proper term, english is not my main language), those cigars that were some sort of mandatory ritual? did you change the whole situation or learned to live it without the cigars? for example, I love drinking an espresso and I always smoke 2 cigars (5 mins apart) after…

I'm 5'2" and I did it 2 years ago. The initial pounds were 'easy' but at the 121 I kind of stalled and it took an huge effort to reach the 115 because I was very sedentary so I had to be very careful of what I ate... (so wrong i know) I put myself on boring grilled meals everyday, ate too little, only grilled white meat…

thanks for all the feedback, I loved reading your stories and tips and feel really motivated! I don't think i'm capable of full cold turkey experience, I tried 10 years ago and I kept crying (yes, real tears), I only made it for 3 days, I was at a point that someone saying something to me, it would sound like an insult or…

Ah! exactly! I would love, for example, to sometimes substitute my brisk walking with running but no way my lungs permit that. thanks for sharing your example, I loved to hear that after the 6 week stall it went back on track and you didn't gain any! and congratulations, 50 lb lost is great! :)

Also brisk walking, 40 minutes :) I do it everyday, most of the times with my dog, she has hypothyroidism and needs it along with the meds to stay out of obesity

Exactly! I dont have thyroid problems but my dog has and the above statements apply (not trying to compare people and dogs, but some things happen the same way on both!) She was obese and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, before the meds she had no energy to go for a proper walk (and you can't say its laziness, its a…

I'm still a newbie and don't know as much as you guys on these matters but something I found very important (I know its stating the obvious to many experienced users here but maybe not so much for newbies) is not to lose motivation when results stop showing up for a while. On a steady and committed plan, where I didn't…

After a month and 1/2 i can say you were absolutely right! I even stopped counting my calories because after cutting back all the sugar and unhealthy stuff, I'm less hungry and feel fulfilled longer :) The weight loss so far is 3.7 kgs (8 lbs) without cravings or starvation! (ok, with an added 30 mins daily walk I never…
