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!!

Mounjaro End of Week 1 Weigh-In

  Saturdays are weigh-in and shot days. I took my second shot this morning. This past week I haven't felt like eating much. I eat one decent meal and then snack for dinner if I can  manage to make myself do that. Because I had lost a pound or so before starting the shots I expect to see some loss on the scale this week. I was very disappointed when I saw I had gained 0.2 pounds. My husband was a big encouragement to me and told me it was probably Thanksgiving and he's right. I also haven't started dieting yet. I was trying to see exactly what meds alone would do. I do not want to make a bunch of changes at once that I will not be able to stick with. Here's hoping that next week will show better changes on the scale.

New Meds

 I just finished taking my first injection of Mounjaro. The doctor started me on 2.5 mg. I will take that dose for a month then increase. I will increase each month until I get to my maintenance dose. I am hoping it helps my blood sugar and helps me lose weight. Some of the possible side effects are kind of scary, but prayerfully, those will not happen. Saturdays have also become my weigh-in days.  I lost 1.8 lbs. Not a big loss, but I wasn't trying so I will take it.
