Update August 19: I am full faster with less food, which gives me the ability to stay within my daily calorie budget. That is a huge game changer for me.

A 13.2 pound loss since the 1st of August has also given me a bit more energy to start exercising in my pool.

I am doing what’s called “water walking” which burns about 1.5 more calories due to the resistance of the water.

I went from zero water walking exercises to 2200 steps yesterday

The food noise is almost gone. I’m not as hungry as I used to be. I feel motivated and I’m hoping that this continues.

Day 17 on 1.5 mg pill.

11.8 pounds down as of this morning.

39.3 pounds in one year total.

It’s very hard and the pill makes it easier to keep me focused. To tell my brain to stop thinking about food. To make me feel fuller. And much more alert to my hunger pandgs, and only eating when they start.

The last six days has been only clean food. Nothing processed no junk, not even a bite of a cookie.

What’s the point of paying for something if you’re not going to use it correctly?

Lost 9 pounds as of yesterday from August 1st thru August 15th.

Mild nausea if I eat too much or don’t eat when my hunger pangs rumble.

Eating totally clean and home made foods. Made lentil stew today, baked chicken thighs as well as sautéed spinach and garlic. Prepped veggies and fruits, made stock from chicken carcass and happy that I’m eating this way and it’s working.

Getting my protein and fiber in as best I can - this is a learning process for many people.

I read it. I watched videos and I know I was not supposed to eat fast.

But for some reason, I ate my small dinner fast and now I have indigestion digestion.

Just remember, put your fuck down or spoon down between bites have a sip of water. Take your time it tells you 20 minutes for a meal and I didn’t do that. It was faster than that and for the first time in six days I am feeling the reason why.

Do not be stupid like me and do not suffer like me

Original: It is 11:31 am and I’m not hungry yet.

Edit: it’s 11:46 am and still not thinking about food.

Edit: it’s 1.18 pm and I am not hungry yet.

Lost 4 ounces since yesterday.

6.4 pounds since day 1 on August 1st.

Food noise? Way down.

Nights are hard. Need to up the protein.

Tired but have unusual energy boosts. Does this have cocaine in it?? LMAO!

Eating healthier for sure. Being aware of what I am putting in my body. More veggies. Less carbs. Almost nothing that’s processed in a box.

Last night dinner was grilled chicken thighs and chopped Greek salad. Still craving my feta cheese.

I’m kicking myself that I did not start sooner. Between the pill and calorie deficit I have lost about 34.5 pounds and have another 130 to go.

Have enough energy to exercise in the pool - which burns 1 & 1/2 calories more than on land due to water resistance - and light chair Zumba.

Today I am on a 799 day streak and as of tomorrow I will be Grass Toucher. 😂😂

No, Reddit is not my life but i am fortunate enough to have free time so I can pop on here multiple times a day and just browse around make comments and post things.

I did not intentionally start out to have a streak, but once they started popping up, I thought it was really funny and figured I would keep the momentum going.

There’s so much on here to read and chat about with strangers.

It’s fun…

I don’t know what’s going on, but maybe I’m happy that I lost 5 pounds in a week partially from my calorie deficit and more the 1.5 mg WEGOVY pill I’m taking. Today was the first day. I have more energy and I exercised in my pool. I did 5000 bicycle steps plus danced like no one was way in my pool to 5 x 3 1/2 minute songs. (DIGIDIGIDIGIHEY)

That is way more than I was able to do a week ago.

I hope that staying positive will keep my momentum going. I have been eating less. I have been eating very healthy. I’m still counting calories just to be safe and I think that this might help me stop the binge eating.

It lost 30 pounds with calorie deficit, but it took a while cause I kept falling off the wagon. Hopefully this is the boost I need.

Anyway, I just needed to say a few things.

I’m starting my journey. I have a long way to go, but I do have a question.

Does anybody wear a neck to ankle to wrist tight body suit after you’ve lost 50 or 75 or 100 pounds?

I am so insanely worried about the skin. I am going to be 60 in November and my skin is not going to bounce back like some people do and at this time will not be able to afford any kind of surgery to fix it.

I was thinking of just wearing a nude or other color bodysuit to keep everything tucked in tight…..

Today is a day four on the pill. It’s 9:24 am and I just got on the scale and I dropped 5 pounds since August 1st.

I am shocked. I am on the 1.5 mg and I have been feeling a little nauseous, but I have been very careful and what I eat. And I’m not finishing big plates of food for the last three days.

My breakfast would probably be whole-grain toast with a poached egg and some tomato or spinach maybe a laughing cow light cheese. I’m also not eating breakfast till about 11:30 in the morning cause I’m just not as hungry.

Last night for dinner I made brown rice with cabbage, slaw, broccoli, and shrimp with soy sauce and balsamic glaze and I only ate about 3/4 of what I normally eat.

I am keeping my water level up. Not having any junk food and nothing fried or greasy.

I need to increase my protein and need to increase my fiber as well, but it is a learning curve.
