Feeling hungry lately and craving sweets. Upped the dose to 1.0 on Friday. I hope it starts to kick in soon.

I had no idea that this was a thing 😊

@Veggie_mama - I would look into getting a dietician consult if I were in your position. Get some professional advice.

I’ve been gone a few days and was out of town. I definitely feel that 0.5 is not doing it for me at this point and I talked to my doctor and got my dose increased to 1.0. I’m a little afraid of side effects jumping from 0.5 to 1.0 so I took 0.75 today since I still had a 0.5 dose pen. I started exercising a bit more and it…

@caa4230 - that’s interesting. The 30 g total carb limit was just not doable for me. Feeling better doing this modified low-carb diet and I can’t wait to see my next A1C @lifesjustpeachy - I’m sorry you’re having trouble getting your medication. Congrats for having a week of cleaning. @Cowtown55 - it’s my dogs that keep me…

@sunshine37001 - what dose are you on? I started at 0.25 but I didn’t feel like it was doing anything. Wk 3, I upped it to 0.5mg and started to have success. @Cowtown55 - I am not familiar with those meds. Best of luck, you got this! @chris_in_cal - good luck with your doc and insurance. I was pleasantly surprised that…

@Melwillbehealthy - that’s great. I am curious to see what my A1C does. I was 6.1 in November 😬 My fasting BG instantly improved when I started ozempic. I would love to improve my BP and get off meds. Great job! @mebranni9an - you are 30% towards your goal. Great job!

Not a bad weekend. I stayed on track and made a workout plan to go with the new home gym. I even worked out today 💪🏼 @jpate0914 - hope you’re feeling better today @briantime - I hope Walgreens gets your Wegovy in stock soon. @richardprimerano793 - I have been trying to figure out the macro thing myself. I am focusing on…

Costco run today and stocked up on all things protein… shakes, tilapia, salmon, chicken breast, and shrimp

Yes, I started a tread a few days ago and there are quite a few that are on this medication. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10906244/2024-semaglutide-ozempic-wegovy-support#latest

Wow, I was really busy this week and was surprised to see how busy it was here. I took my eighth dose on Friday and I was up almost 2 pounds from the previous week. I have not been great tracking but thought that I was doing ok. This week will be better and now that I started this thread and seeing the interest, I am…

Back to work today after 10 days off. I’m so happy to get back into my normal routine!

@Kathrem A drop in A1C is something to celebrate. What kind of diet are you following? I’m doing low carb which is probably why it’s slower going. Keto was too unsustainable for me.

That’s great! I am happy at the 0.5 as long as I keep making progress

30g carb, 84g protein. It auto calculates the fat and the total is below 1000 calories. I eat over the fat limit to satiety

I just started about 2 weeks ago and down 9lbs. It’s really hard getting used to with 30g total carbs (not net) and 84g protein but I am staying on track. Your A1C is great. How many carbs are you doing?

I just started a medically supervised ketogenic diet to reverse prediabetes. Their recommended sweeteners are: Stevia Sucralose (Splenda) Monk fruit Allulose Sugar, alcohols- xylitol, and erythritol

@lindamtuck2018 CW: 189.5 😞 This will be my last week that I let myself get off track. I will NOT go another month like this!

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Sunday PW:189.8 CW: 189.5 LTD: 17.5 At least it’s a loss. The week started strong but work stress, kid stress and dance/band mom duties got the best of me 😞

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - keep me out of the challenge. I need to get tracking/ calories under control before I commit to that

I’m so jealous 😫

Under calories and hit my minimum protein level. I have a bit of a migraine and it’s 106*F (41.1*C) at 6pm, so, I will not be hitting my steps today. Water is close and I will be sure to get my 80oz. Plan for tomorrow: B: leftover half of egg white omelette L: grilled chicken or other protein in cafeteria & veggie D :…

@mszoueb - my 2.5oz fried pasta tonight weighed 6.7 oz after cooking

I weigh mine dry but I am usually cooking for myself. My family does not eat what I eat. One thought, weigh one serving dry, cook it, drain it and then wait to see what it weighs after cooking one serving. Let’s us know the difference because now, I am curious. I’m jealous of your tomatoes. I used to make my own tomato…

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Friday PW:187.8 CW: 189.8 LTD: 17.2 A gain but I am finally done with this crappy attitude and poor choices. My plan for tomorrow: Breakfast: egg white omelet or protein shake Lunch: Grilled chicken breast with provolone and tomatoes Dinner: shrimp marinara with protein pasta Water: 80oz…

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Friday PW:? CW: 187.8 Sorry that I’m late again. I have been not feeling well but the antibiotics are kicking in a today I feel like myself. In addition to my illness, last week I picked my son up from all day band practice and he wasn’t wearing a mask 😡 Friday I noticed he didn’t look well…

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Friday PW:185 CW: 189.6 LTD: 17.4 Not a great week but it did not feel as bad as the scale shows. That underscores the importance of logging every day and checking in here. Even if I don’t have time to read all of the posts. Next week will be better. 😞

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - if you might have COVID and are needing a nebulizer at this time, I highly recommend to take it as prescribed despite the headache. Do not take anything for granted, if you get short of breath or have any difficulty breathing, go to the emergency room. Im not trying to scare you. I just know that…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - I hope the COVID test comes back negative and you feel better soon. My steps are below but I think you should take a break and get well. 8/14: 4558 8/15: 4783 8/16: 6146 8/17; 5140 8/18: 6623 8/19: 6509 8/20: 4635

b]Username [/b]: azkunk Weigh In Day: Friday PW:186.2 CW: 185 LTD: 22 Sorry for the late post. We had a consult for solar yesterday after work. The guy turned out to be a childhood friend of my husband. We live 2500 miles from where they grew up and they haven’t seen each other since the 6th grade. Needless to say, it went…
