Smart move logging everything, I wish I'd done that from day one instead of trying to reconstruct my first two months from memory. I keep mine in a notes app with weight and appetite notes each Friday. Curious how the 2mg treats you once you're a few weeks in.

#3

Good idea keeping a weekly log, I wish I'd started mine on day one instead of three months in. I'm down about 30 lbs and the appetite quieting down sneaks up on you, so having written notes on how each week felt is genuinely useful later.

#4

Logging weekly like this kept me honest through my own 60 lb drop, so I think you're smart to start. The booth thing was a real milestone for me too, those small wins add up. Injection-day fatigue hit me hardest early on, but keeping meals light that day seemed to help.

#5

Down about 12 lbs myself and my log has already paid off twice, like when I could see a pattern in which weeks my appetite dipped hardest. Curious how week one feels for you since I'm on the same stuff. The small stuff you notice day to day is exactly what you forget without writing it down.

#6

Down 9 lbs myself and I only started logging a month in, already regretting the weeks I lost to memory. Watching for how your week one goes since I remember the appetite shift hitting me around then.

#7

The appetite shift sneaking up around week one matches what happened to me too, glad others flagged it. I started my log late and wish I had those first weeks on paper, so you're ahead of the game already. Curious what the fatigue situation looks like for you since that was my roughest part early on.

#8

Logging from day one is smart, I started later and the first weeks are a blur now. The appetite quieting down hit me early too, around that same week one mark. My fatigue came in waves rather than staying constant, so tracking daily really helped me see that.

#9

Down 33 lbs and I still kick myself for not logging from the start, so you're doing it right. The wave pattern thing was true for me too - some days fine, others wiped out, and daily notes made it obvious it wasn't random. Curious if the appetite quieting hits you that first week like it did for the rest of us.

#10

Logging from the start will pay off down the road - half my early weeks are just a fog now and I'd love to have that data. Curious to see how the fatigue hits you too, mine came and went in weird waves early on before settling down.

#11

Good call starting the log now, I waited a month and regret losing that early data. My appetite shift showed up around week one too, and the fatigue definitely came in patches before it evened out. Down a couple pounds so far, so I'm curious what your first weigh-ins look like.

#12

Logging weekly is smart - I only started keeping notes around week 6 and I've lost about 20 lbs since then, but the early gaps bug me. The wave pattern everyone's mentioning was real for me too, especially the fatigue. And congrats on the seatbelt moment, those little wins hit different.

#13

The early logs are the part you'll thank yourself for most - I only have spotty notes from my first month and I keep wondering what my appetite was actually doing back then. Down 37 lbs now and I still can't reconstruct those first few weeks. Watching for your first weigh-in.

#14

Nine pounds in on my end so my log's shorter than yours will be, but the seatbelt moment was mine too, loosened two notches last week. Those first-month appetite notes are the one thing I wish I'd tracked better.

#15

Wish I'd started my log day one too - down 29 lbs and my first month is basically a blank. Your week-one entry is going to be gold by the time you hit the seatbelt moment, which sounds like it's coming fast based on how these threads go.

#16

Smart move starting this on day one - my log has a two-week gap at the start and I've been guessing at my starting numbers ever since. Down 28 lbs now and the early entries are the ones I reread most. Looking forward to your week one writeup.

#17

Only a pound down here so far but I started my spreadsheet before my first shot for exactly this reason - everyone in this thread regretting the gaps sold me on it. The appetite notes idea is a good one, adding a column for that.

#19

Logging from day one saved me too - I can see exactly when the food noise dropped off around week three, which I never would've remembered otherwise. Curious if your week one appetite change shows up as clearly in the entries as mine did.

#20

Logging mine on a spreadsheet too and yeah, the week one entries are surprisingly telling - I down 5 lbs before I even noticed anything else shifting. Kept notes on appetite each day and the pattern was there on paper before it clicked mentally. Curious what your dose notes show since you're higher than where I started.
