Weigh - In Month 2 - Week 2

 Today is weigh-in day. I didn't have a lot of hope with it being Christmas week. John made this cake I love and I over-indulged on it. I just knew the scale was not going to be my friend. All in all, things weren't that bad though. I lost 4.8 lbs. I am content with that for this week.

Weigh-In Month 2 Week 1

 So here we go. I just completed my first week on 5 mg. It was an eventful week. I had things all planned out after the previous week's flop. Unfortunately, Monday I started getting sick and all my plans went out the window. I wasn't sure how the scale would look this week, but I was pleasantly surprised. Just over 11 lbs this week!!! Yay! I know every week will not look this good, but I will celebrate this win like crazy! In addition to the big loss this week, I am officially out of the 300 Club! I hope I will never see it again!

Weigh-In Week 4

 I didn't want to make this post. I actually gained weight this week. A couple pounds worth. I am completely disappointed in myself but I will keep going and try harder. This is the end of month one of Mounjaro. Factoring in my gains. I lost 4.4 lbs on the 2.5 mg of Mounjaro so not a total fail. Today I increased my dosage, per my doctor's orders, to 5 mg so here's hoping that month 2 provides better loss.

Week 3 Weigh-In

 Today is shot day and weigh-in day. I hate Saturdays because it shows me how bad I have done. As of yet I am not dieting or exercising. I was a little (a lot) bummed to see that I didn't lose more after such a loss last week, but here is hoping this week will be better. I lost .8 lbs this week.

Week 2 Weigh-In

Today is shot day and weigh-in day. All week I have stressed and dreaded this day. I am on the lowest dose of Mounjaro still. Today was my third shot. I haven't experienced a lot of appetite control. I still experience a lot of food noise and I have been pretty hungry this week. I didn't have high hopes for the scale this week. Before I reveal my weigh-in, let's talk about the good things, though. Over the last couple weeks I have cheated a couple times and had sugary stuff. I am also still drinking sodas (working on that). However, my blood sugar is staying in a semi-level range. I have only had one fast acting insulin shot in two weeks, where I was taking them daily. I consider that a win! Now, for my weigh-in results. I lost 6.4 lbs this week! I am really excited for that loss!!
