So I started my Foundayo Journey on June 5th, I went from 0.8 to 2.5 and now I am on 5mg. I started at ~175lbs. I hit 168lbs in about 2 month-ish so I lost 7 lbs. I moved up to 2.5 and I just finished my 1 month of 5mg. After 4 months, I am stuck at ~168-169lbs. One thing I noticed was that when I was nearing the end of the month, I end up feeling hungrier so I end up increasing the dosage. My goal was to lose 10lbs but I ended up only losing 7-ish pounds. Now that I finished my 5 mg dosage, I feel like I need to increase my dosage again because I now end up feeling hungrier and have cravings which I am not going to do.

I felt like I was just going in a loop of taking Foundayo, felt not hungry, then nearing the end of the month I felt more hungry, eat more, and then up my dosage again -- so I am just going to stop the loop now.

My diet could had been better but due to my work schedule and lack of knowledge of cooking, it limited me on what I could make.

I was doing cash payment since my normal insurance would not cover for me (or qualify me) so it just ends up getting more and more expensive since increasing the dosage increases the costs.

I did not end up having my clothes get looser or anything like that lol. Visually I cannot tell a difference from my before and after.

Side Effects:

I always took my Foundayo at night before bed so I didn't have much side effects regarding nausea. The only side effect I really noticed was sleepiness/tiredness throughout the day when I increased to 5 mg. Like I could sleep 10 hours the night before and then a few hours after waking up, I would feel like I didn't have enough sleep.

I had no real bowel or intestinal issues but I did notice smellier gas and it didn't matter what I ate lol. It DID NOT create more gas but when I had it, it smelled pretty bad, like rotten eggs bad.

I did experience body rash while on Foundayo and the doctor says it was a case of pityriasis rosea. But pityriasis rosea does not have a known trigger or cause. Just being fully transparent about it.

In terms of my mood, since I am feeling more tired/sleepiness I have been feeling depressed lately and bit more agitated.

Best of luck for everyone else on this medicine!

Tonight will be day 5 of Foundayo and after I take Foundayo I no longer have like this weird stomach feeling anymore. But I feel like the effect isn't truly working on me. I feel like maybe it affects my lunch a little bit. My lunch consists of chicken, brown rice, and broccoli, and I started to eat maybe 5/6th of my rice instead of all of it. But for dinner I start feeling a bit hungrier. I started with my protein shake (it was post gym workout) and had a subway footlong and I ate the entire thing, still felt a little hungry so I drank a full 16.9 ounces of water, didn't feel satisfied, ate a yogurt and a banana and some cashews. Finally felt satisfied but unfortunately that's what I typically do for dinner before Foundayo. I will eat something and then finish with like some fruit and some cashews and drink water until I feel full.

Unfortunately I still have cravings for chips and sometimes something sweet and I satisfy that with like a banana or greek yogurt.

Maybe it's because I workout before dinner so I just feel hungrier during dinner? I'm not sure... It's still early only day 5 and I'm optimistic.

Checked the scale this morning, I'm actually 1 pound heavier than when I started, I was 175 in the morning of the first day and this morning I was 176.

In terms of workout performance, I don't feel like I had a decline in performance, I am now able to lift 5lbs heavier than what I could do last week for bicep curls. Cardio I still feel about the same (I do 30 minutes daily), I don't feel like I could go to the next incline or level.

Anyways, still hopeful.

June 5th @ midnight - just took my first dosage of 0.8mg of Foundayo. Been reading here at night time seems optimal regarding the side effects. I am only taking Foundayo because I've plateaued in my weightloss and diet and exercise has kept me around the ~175lbs mark. I struggle a lot with eating because I have this bad mentality of "if I don't eat enough food now, I'll be hungry later" and then I end up feeling a little hungry and then I end up snacking after my meal. I really hate the feeling of being hungry and I just can't endure it lol.

I hope this is just a mental thing but I am 28 minutes in and my stomach feels a little funky.

If I can lose even 10 lbs I would be super happy.

Edit: Day 2 - I felt no different in terms of hunger/desire to eat. I still ate the same amount as I usually do. I did feel nauseated after 30 minutes taking it. I did end up sleeping like 10 hours though the next day.
