Some fun for a Friday, anyone got any non scale positives of Wegovy.
I'll go first, the inside of my car is as clean as it was the day I bought it. No more secretly eating packets of biscuits, cookies and crips on the way home from work.
I've been on 4mg a week now but am struggling with hunger. I didn't have this on 1.5mg but I also wasn't going to the gym as much, so not sure if it's natural hunger increase due to exercise or just the 4mg isn't working for me and maybe 1.5mg was more placebo than actual changes in my hunger.
Anyway, just wondering how others are finding it.
Not sure if this is common knowledge but I wanted to share in case it isn't.
You can recycle your used blister packs at Boots. If you do five or more at a time, you get a voucher for 100 points if you spend £5.
Honestly my family are on a lot of medication so we have too many blister packs, I never log them for the voucher, I just drop them in the box to be recycled.
Wondering if anyone is an early gym goer, around 4 or 5 am?
I used to be an early gym person pre baby but that changed two years ago and I moved to home workouts. I'm really struggling with all the distractions of life to exercise consistently at home. Putting myself first, I want to go back to the gym but curious how people are managing it with timing of the pill.
At the moment, I finish my last meal of the day by 18:30, so I can take the pill anytime after 2.30. I usually take it around 5 when I wake up. The gym I go to is only a 5 minute drive and I'm a get up and go person.
If you are an early gym person, are you just doing exercise fasted and hydrating after?
Probably a silly question, but I've always been a pre workout, hydrate nonstop type of person.
Your husband buys a pack of five cookies from M&S and you only eat one instead of the usual four.
I've always been a demolish the whole pack in a night person. No matter how hard I would try to save some for later, that would never happen but last night, I had one, it was nice. I was done.
It makes me really excited to keep going if it means I can have an occasional sweet treat and still progress with my weight loss journey.
I hit a mini milestone today, for the past almost 3 years I've been unable to get below a certain number.
My weight would fluctuate 3kgs up and down but never could I get below this number.
This morning it finally happened. I've always felt like if I could get my body under this number then the rest will be easy. I know thats probably not true, but seeing that number gave me hope that these pills are going to help me.
Does anyone have any mini milestones they are excited to hit?
My next one is that my rings fit, I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring for 3 years. I thought it was just pregnancy bloat but I never could get them back on. I don't know when that will be, but hopefully if I can reach my pre-pregnancy weight, they will.
My 2 year old has self weaned off breastmilk. It was sooner than I was expecting, I'd hoped to make it to 2.5 years but she seems happy with it. I have noticed she wants more oat milk.
Before weaning, I she would have 100ml in the morming before nursery and I think she has some at nursery with her food.
I'm curious how much milk, did you give your child throughout the day?
I've never been a milk drinker, had a phobia of it when I was a kid (I iust knew I was meant to be vegan!). So not really sure how much is "too" much.
Also any brand recommendations, I'm in the UK. Currently use Tesco own brand unsweetened oat milk as its fortified but no idea if thats a good one. I saw Alpro has one for children but it has sugar in it, I'm not against sugar but if shes happy with a sugar free then I'll keep with that for now.
My child is almost 2, and I'd always planned to breastfeed until 2.5 as that would be the end of the year. It just felt right.
We feed in the morning and before bed and in weekends before their nap.
For some reason my supply has dropped. Never had this happen, even when I've been ill and couldn't eat I've had a good supply.
Now its judt drops. I tried a power pumping session but there was hardly anything coming out. My child has tried to get some milk, but they get frustrated.
Should I take this as its just time to stop, or should I keep trying to power pump and see if that helps? Part of me thinks yes stop, there are no tears right now and child is sleeping. But I'm sad because its not how I had planned it, I thought I had more time.
