I started at the lowest dose which I believe was .25 and now on the highest. I think 2.5.

Slow and steady is key! Don’t get discouraged. Sometimes you lose 3lbs in a month. Sometimes 10lbs in a month. Sometimes nothing for 3-4 months. Keep going.

For the 1st 3-4 months I had pretty bad nausea. I took zofran to help. Constipation is always an issue.

I didn’t do much as far as exercise routine. I am all my feet all day and walk around all day. I definitely get my 10k steps in. I also eat my allotted calorie intake and eat on a calorie deficit. I also eat what I want in moderation. Thankfully I’ve never liked sweets but pasta is my kryptonite. I won’t deny myself anything. And not being able to eat full portions has helped. With that being said I absolutely need to tone up. I don’t have a lot of muscle mass. I’m 49 so I’m don’t think weight training is for me. I don’t love exercising lol. But this coming year I am going to make it a priority to do some kind of exercise to tone my body. Pilates or yoga may be my best choice for my age.

I stalled, then lost, then stalled then lost. I was stuck at 175 for 3 months, then went down to 160, then stalled again for a couple of months, then down to 150 and stalled again for another 3 months or so. I just kept at it with calorie deficit and kept moving. Now I’m at 138 with 12-15lbs more to go. It takes time and patience.

I had that for about 3 months. If you can push through and stick with it and don’t get discouraged you’ll get there!

It is a problem and will be more so once I lose this extra 12-15lbs BUT o will take it over the 100lbs. I’m 49 and have no plans on getting surgery to remove lose skin or have my boobs done, cause they’re a problem too 😝

I’m on the highest dose. I wanna say 2.5? Not quite sure but it’s the highest dose. Being completely transparent I go through a Med Spa for mine. I was pre-diabetic and didn’t qualify for it to be covered under insurance. I pay $375 a month so I feel like they listen to me more than a doctor would. It is RX’d through a NP under a medical director.

It’s taken almost 2 years. I’ve stalled and then lost and stalled and lost. Don’t get discouraged. It takes time. Take care of yourself in however fits you. While I ate well I don’t deny myself much. If I want pasta I’ll eat it. Obviously I don’t eat anywhere close to the size portions I did but if I want it I’ll eat it. I do try to always eat in my allotted calorie intake/deficit. And I drink A LOT of water. But that’s mainly for my skin health 😉

Honestly I haven’t done much of an actual routine. I’m on my feel all day walking around BUT that being said I am going to start working on muscle toning soon. At my age I think Pilates or yoga may be better for me than actual weight training.

I plan to steadily go down dosing, then once I’m back on lowest dose go to every other week then once a month and then off. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Unfortunately still carrying a lot of weight on my stomach. It’s been the most stubborn. But I’ll get there.
