This day my life will change quite literally.

Got the last 3 missing achievements on my hardcore character.
I decided to go full hardcore and had no backup saves. So if anything went wrong, I had to start a new hardcore save.
Died 3 times. First time in the early beginnings while thieving, one time mid game because I ran out of food and one time at the god dungeons which was extremely painful to lose that character.

On this run I made sure to make no mistakes and it worked.

I started playing in December 2023. Finished the game with all extensions first and then decided to go for the full achievements with a hardcore character.

Since December 2023, this game was every day in my life. Pretty much never missed to logon, change skills, harvest stuff etc.
Had it running in the background on my second or third screen while doing other things.

The next days & weeks will be weird, having to not logon anymore to check stuff but I'm also relieved.

At the same time I have to admit, I'm not interested in Melvor Idle 2, just because I'm pretty sure it will take the same amount of attention and time and I'm not willing to do that again.

This game was definitely worth it's money. Was a fun journey.

Hey guys, time for my first report.

Male, 42, 6'1, starting weight 174.20 KG / 384 lbs. BMI 49.x

Right now I'm at the end of week 4.

As you can see in the picture I started with 0.25 mg injection and made a mistake on my second injection and double dosed. My GP recommended to stay on 0.50 mg.

Week 1: Immediate effect from the injection, no hunger at all during the first 3 days. Food noise completely gone. Day 4 - 7, it came back with force. Ate way more than I wanted.

Week 2: Serious migraines for 3 days after the double dose. Spend most of the time in bed. No hunger for the first days, but it came back with force and you can even see me gaining weight again.

Week 3: Started working on my diet, cutting out the stuff that I know, triggers my sugar addiction and makes me eat more (Cola Zero, Pepsi Zero, Fanta Zero - all zero drinks, if consumed daily, make me eat way more).

Week 4: Finished my switch in diet, going with Keto / Carnivore. Today my body reached for the first time Ketosis after waking up (0.6 mmo/L blood ketones) together with a good blood sugar of 91 instead of over 120 (dawning syndrome).

Weight lost so far in 4 weeks: 10.3 KG / 22.07 lbs
The first two weeks I've had only lost water, it was in week 3 that the fat loss started.
I own a Tanita MC-780 clinical scale, that gives a very good full body analysis every day.

No workouts so far, I have a broken ankle joint and not being able to use my foot, yeah, workouts have to wait until that is healed.

My goal is to use the lowest dose that works for me. My GP told me, to up the dose, until I reach the point where I feel like garbage for a few days and that is the dose I should stay on.
Main focus is my diet Keto / Carnivore, to break my insulin resistance and melt my fat, like an iceberg in the desert.

Over the last years I had tremendous success using keto, but I've always made mistakes, that brought back the food noise.
This time, everything was different, I couldn't make the switch in my diet, the food noise was as strong as never before, sugar addiction was real.
So I asked my GP what I can do and he recommended me Wegovy until I reach my goal weight ( 90 KG / 198 lbs).

Side note: Health insurance here in Germany sees GLP-1 as lifestyle product and don't support it. Politicians wanting to change that, but that might takes years with our incompetent politicians.
I have to pay it out of my own pocket.
Thanks to my GP, that is still affordable. He prescribed me the 2.4 mg pen and told me how to use the click chart to get the right dosage. That way the pen will last for at least 3 months.
Paid €370 for the pen, but next time I'll order it online and it will be only €260.

Next report will be in 4 weeks.
