Reflection on my journey

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.

Same here — Stay the course. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. How are you finding the higher dose so far. Onward!

Late to this but What's your current titration schedule looking like. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Hang in there.

What helped you push through the plateau. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. This community is the best.

Adding my two cents: Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule.

I keep a protein shake on my desk for days when nothing sounds good. It helps.

For what it's worth, The mental side is harder than people admit. Rooting for you. Keep us posted!

Just wanted to say, Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. The mental side is harder than people admit. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

My titration schedule ended up being much slower than the official guide. 0.25mg for 8 weeks, then 0.5mg for 8 more weeks. My doctor is conservative but the results have been steady and the side effects manageable. There's no prize for going faster.

Just wanted to say, I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. You've got this. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but So proud of you. Blood pressure is finally in normal range. This community is the best.

Totally agree. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Six months in and the scale keeps moving the right way. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Such an inspiration honestly. Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Reading this and I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. We're all in this together.

Adding my two cents: Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. Hang in there.

Totally agree. Such an inspiration honestly. Keep going, seriously. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Totally agree. Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. You're doing amazing. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Late to this but Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. What helped you push through the plateau. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
