My first attempt also died right around week three when a work mess hit, so reading this thread feels familiar. Down 34 on my second go and honestly the public log is the only thing that kept the bad stretch from becoming another quiet quit. Hope the climb back feels less lonely with all of us watching the same wall.
Restart log after regaining some
Down 16 myself, so you're ahead of me even after the regain. Week three also ate me alive on my first attempt, but writing it down even when the entry was a bummer kept me from ghosting. Watching for that update.
Second runs hit different when you already know where the walls are. I regained after a bad stretch too, and getting back on Trulicity and logging every week anyway is what pushed me to down 38 in St. Paul. Post the week three entry no matter how it reads.
Down 24 on my restart and the third week is staring me down too, since that's where I bailed last time. The ugly entries honestly helped me more than the good ones, so keep posting even the rough ones.
The fact you logged the regain instead of hiding it is the whole game right there. My second run on Ozempic started the same way and the ugly week three post I made is still one I go back and read. Hartford area here too, rooting for you.
Restarted from a higher number than my first go-round too, and being honest about the regain on my log is what's kept me 9 down instead of another quiet quit. Stress months got me as well, so I get it. Memphis checking in, following your climb.
Stress regain is so common, no shame in it. I'm 13 down on my own second attempt and the honest logging is what kept me from ghosting my log like last time. Week three will pass this round since you'll see it coming.
Second runs hit different once you know the week three wall is coming. I'm about 15 down on my restart and the log was the thing that kept me from bailing during the stressful stretch. Watching your climb too.
The public log is the whole trick for me too, down 50 on my run and I still post the ugly weeks. Knowing the week three dip was coming made it way easier to just ride it out instead of panic. Rooting for you.
Funny how the second time around you stop treating a regain like failure and just call it data. I had a similar stressful stretch derail my first run, and posting the rough weeks on my restart (49 down now) is what kept me accountable. Watching your climb too.
Restart after a rough stretch took more guts for me than starting cold did, honestly. Down 35 on my Zepbound run and the public log saved me more than once when life got loud. Posting the climb here is the right call.
The restart thread being public is what got me back on the wagon after a move to Denver wrecked my first run too. I'm on Saxenda now, 56 down, and the ugly weeks still go in my log right next to the good ones. Watching your climb.
Second runs hit different once you stop beating yourself up over the detour. I regained during a bad work stretch too, and logging even the stalled weeks is what got me back to losing, about 27 down now on round two. Rooting for your climb.
Round two on Zepbound here too, and the redo felt way less scary once I accepted the regain was just life happening. Down 22 this run after my own stressful detour. Logging the messy weeks publicly is the move.
Stress regain got me too, and posting the ugly weeks here instead of hiding them is what kept round two moving for me, 28 down since I restarted. The detour doesn't erase what you already know how to do. Following the log.
The public log is the smart part -- I restarted after my own stressful stretch and tracking it here, good weeks and bad, got me 10 down so far. The skills from round one really don't go anywhere. Glad you're back at it.
The detour framing is what got me restarted too -- back on it after my own stressful stretch and only 2 down so far, but round one taught me the early weeks are the slow ones. Watching these logs keeps me honest.
