One month update
A little background. 39F. Mom of 4. After 1st baby I lost all the weight doing CrossFit. 2nd baby took me 3 years to lose the weight doing Beach Body workouts and keto. Thought I was done having kids. Surprise baby #3. Gained 90lbs. Lost about 40 lbs when surprise #4. Gained another 90lbs. 3.5 years later and I'm sitting at 80lbs yet of baby weight. Last summer I decided to make a change and started running. Did the couch to 5k program. Then decided to sign up for a 10k. Trained for and ran that. Then my sister in law convinced me to sign up for a 1/2 marathon with her. Trained for and ran that. As accomplished and proud of myself as I am, I still can't look at and appreciate any of my race/post race pictures. In 6 months of running and training I bounced around the same +/- 5lbs and my clothes never got any looser. It was kinda depressing to put in so much work and not see the results I was hoping for. Then after my race I stopped running as long/as frequently and started to see the scale creep back up. Decided to look into GLP-1. Put myself first and used some of our tax return to purchase semaglutide.
Started 1 month ago.
SW: 210 lbs
5'7"
39f.
CW: 200.4lbs
Down 19.5 inches too! Including 5 in the bust, 4 in the waist, and 3 in the hips.
Started at a very low dose 0.1 and am now up to 0.4. Had some headaches and mild nausea in the beginning but nothing too bad. Working out 4-5 days a week, plus I walk an average of 4-6 miles at work 4x/week. Eating around 1600 calories and drink about 7 owalas/day (always been a big water drinker).
I'm so happy I made the decision to start on a sema. It finally gave my body that jumpstart it needed and to put in the work AND see the scale go down has been such a great feeling.
Looking forward to month 2!
