Hi everyone :)
Welcome aboard! I remember lurking way longer than I should have before posting -- wish I'd jumped in sooner. Down 36 lbs myself and threads here have saved me from plenty of head-scratchers like the protein-first trick mentioned above.
Welcome! I was nervous to post at first too, but this place has been a lifesaver -- down 49 lbs myself and the tips here (like protein first) made a real difference for me.
Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose?
Hi! I lurked a couple months before my first post too, and honestly the side-effect threads alone were worth it -- I learned more about handling queasy days here than anywhere else. Down around 28 lbs and still picking up new stuff every week.
Welcome! I was another long-time lurker before my first post, and similar to what others said, the queasy-day and appetite threads ended up being the most useful for me. Down 58 lbs and the thing I wish I'd known sooner was how much protein in the morning helped on the days the meds hit hardest.
Welcome! I was also a lurker forever before posting, and the queasy-day threads saved me more than once. Down about 25 myself, and echoing what worked for me: getting protein in early made the rough mornings way more manageable.
Welcome! I was in the same boat, lurking for months before posting. Almost at the 60 lb mark myself, and I second the morning protein thing, it made a real difference for me on the rough days too.
Welcome! I'm only a few pounds in myself so this crew is way ahead of me, but the morning protein tip is already paying off on my queasy days too. Good luck getting started!
What helped you push through the plateau? Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose?
So happy to have you here, welcome. Six months in and down 41 lbs total.
Welcome! I hit a similar milestone around month six and the sluggish stretches were real, but sticking with it paid off. Hope you find the threads here as helpful as I did when I was new.
What's your strategy for staying on top of water intake? Your mileage may vary though.
So glad you're here, this is a good crowd. Welcome aboard, so glad you found us. Update us when you can.
Welcome! I'm down 42 lbs myself and the search bar here turned up answers to half my questions before I even had to ask. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.
Welcome! The search bar tip is real - I dug through old threads for weeks when I started and it saved me from repeating the same questions everyone asks at first. Down 65 lbs now, and a lot of the credit goes to stuff I picked up reading here.
