Protein shakes that actually taste good to me now

I've been doing a weekly log in this thread and several people have asked me to keep going so here's month 3 update: down 31 lbs from 278 to 247. Lost about 3-4 lbs per month after the fast initial drop. Stalled for 2 weeks at month 2.5 and it broke on its own. Energy is better. Sleep is better. Still on 0.5mg and my doctor wants to see me stay here another month.

Coming back to this thread — You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there.

Adding my two cents: Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. Hit goal weight this morning, still in shock. Keep going, seriously. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

Congrats! That first 25 lbs is the hardest because you're still figuring everything out.

Same here, Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower.

Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Same here, Maintenance for three months now and holding. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Onward!

A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Adding my two cents: Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, The mental side is harder than people admit. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

Reading this and I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Thanks for sharing this.

Following along, Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. So proud of you. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Hang in there. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Following along — Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. You should be really proud. Maintenance for three months now and holding. Hang in there.

Late to this but Stay the course. You've got this.

Reading this and How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. This community is the best.

Adding my two cents: Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Thanks for sharing this.

Coming back to this thread, Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Don't give up, it's worth it. Hang in there.

Same here, Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Adding my two cents: Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Rooting for you. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
