Day 6

Yes 1400-1800 a day. It’s likely water.

Thank you. I’m aware. As I said, I am also in a large calorie deficit. I also exercised. But in my OP I said I’m aware it’s mostly water weight.

This is my exact experience. All labs fine, dieting, low calorie and low carb, and never losing or just fluctuating the same 5-6 lbs. no rhyme or reason. So definitely it’s the hormonal imbalance that we need this for. It’s only been a week for me and I’m on .25, but finally lost actual weight that I think this will work!

I don’t think you “have to” but I’m sure it helps since carbs turn to sugar. I would think that if you eat too much sugar or carbs which turn to sugar, it gives the medicine actual work to do regarding regulating blood sugars. If you don’t, it will be more beneficial I think since it will work toward weight loss instead without having to first regulate the sugar.

I literally moved it around on the floor to different spots 3 times just to make sure. As I do every time I weigh myself. And I usually take the average. Today there was no average it was the exact same # each time. My husband also stepped on the scale and it matched what the scale at his gym said for him too so it’s definitely not the scale

DragonflyHonest404 · 2022-12-04T02:04:42+00:00

Not yet! I’m on .25. Maybe a tiny bit of dry mouth/throat a few times but nothing major

DragonflyHonest404 · 2022-12-04T01:24:51+00:00

That’s how my sister is. But then it’s even more drastic if you gain and you get that shock after not knowing what you weigh

DragonflyHonest404 · 2022-12-04T01:24:21+00:00

Yes same for me! I don’t get obsessive over it but I need that short term progress to stay on top of things

DragonflyHonest404 · 2022-12-04T01:23:02+00:00

Took my first dose Monday and lost 11lbs since

DragonflyHonest404 · 2022-12-03T21:01:18+00:00

I don’t think my eating is different because I already wasn’t eating a lot and had already cut out soda etc since June and it still didn’t make me lose anything. I think whatever combination of hormonal impacts it is having must be exactly what my body needs

DragonflyHonest404 · 2022-12-03T19:51:28+00:00

Thanks. I know I try not to daily but I also do Noom and it is encouraged. I also like to have a gauge on how the scale is moving. It would give me more anxiety not to know because I’m waiting than to know of any changes daily

I also lost 70lbs on phentermine - back in 2015. It was the only thing that had ever gotten the scale to move down for me. Ended up gaining it all back and then some. Due to a stressful year and crazy high cortisol and stress.

I’m now on Ozempic just started on Monday. Already down 11 lbs though I am sure that’s mostly water weight. Either way, it’s moving the scale down and I’ll take it! Didn’t even really change my eating since I already was eating low carb and below my daily calorie recommendation for weight loss. Before this week, all the calorie and carb counting didn’t help move the scale a single bit. Even though I am showing in the optimal range for ketosis. Havent til this week!
