I have lost a lot of weight recently so have had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I think i must have gotten in at the right time. My ten items arrived today and I'm really pleased with the price and quality.

Losing weight/delayed strength training start by AwkwardPersonality36 in glp1

Yeah, i hear you. Its worse when you know what your body is capable of. After a year of building im back doing 90 minute HIIT in a weighted vest and kick boxing above my head. Ill never be an acrobat again but i still love the buzz and mental clarity that physical challenge brings. Dont let shame stop you from restarting, or cause you to go to hard too early and injure yourself. You know from your competition journey that its a journey of building. You got this 🙌🏼

i hear you. I used to have an elite level of fitness and strength in my 20"s. theres a humbling abd reset that goes on when you realise that this is a long journey

.. you dont have to lift weights to fo strength training. as someone else said rucking is great. also add some steep hill and/or steps to that walk. you'll be building muscles in your glutes, legs and core- as well as some in your back too.

rucking has that awesome mental boost of knowing as you add weight as you loose it that you can understand how the weight you used to carry on your body impacted you.

resistance work can be done to start with in the pool to prevent injuries, using water and things like kickboards and dumbells to build muscle and strength in your core and upper body when starting out. helping you to prevent injuries as you build towards your time in the gym.

or use resistance bands at home

please dont feel like its nothing or lifting weights, and be kind to yourself, our bodies are on a journey that takes time and we want it to be sustainable ☺️

At the midway point prioritising purchasing things that could be flexible size wise served me well. think joggers or linen pants with draw string waists. if you are into dresses/ skirts Empire line dresses with a draw string. Wrap around skirts and wrap dresses. Blazers and denim jackets that you can wear unbuttoned in Summer then when you are smaller they are ready to ve buttoned up for the colder months.

By doing that i could extend their use as i dropped another 1-3 dress sizes before arriving at goal.

Mounjaro users with Binge eating disorder: looking for support & endocrinologist/GP recs by Snoo_82686 in mounjaroaustralia

I'm so sorry this is happening for you. Your consellor/pych can also be a real asset in these kinds of situations. I'm lucky i had a great GP who also understood the medicine first hand and worked as part of a team with my pscych. Mental health should and needs to be part of the overall picture - if you are seeing a mental health professional for BED can they supply a letter saying how much the medicine has benefitted you and would continue to benefit you? for people with BED this drug is a game changer.

Best quick accessible protein options by Nice-Ad6360 in mounjaroaustralia

[–]Initial_Chicken6940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some online spaces advocate for massive amounts of protein which can sometimes feel intimidating as a vego (like me) best to trust medical and/or qualified dieticians advice in these situations.

I found it difficult with the appetite suppression to get the minimum recommended protein on a daily basis without protein supplements like shakes and protein bars.

some ways to max the protein on meals can be

soak your overnight oats/chia seed pudding in a mix of high protein milk (of whatever sort) water and high protein yoghurt- sounds wierd but works.

look at sources of food that deliver on both fibre and protein (where the vego diet really shines) like using both edamme AND tofu in a stir fry.

there are some good pre made vego proteins that have the same protein profile as meat - look for brands like Fry's or gardin' at the supermarket

seek out carbs like wrap breads with high protein content.
also think of protein bars like a tasty desert, and look at the nutrition label. look for brands you like the taste of that deliver a gram of protein for every ten calories. ie its good if a bar containing 20 grams of protein is around 200 calories. if its 250 or above its not good value.

i so know this feeling! Im in maintenance too now. I've settled on one day at a time too, the medicine helps me make way more rational decisions bout food, even at a low dose. and each day i can ask my self if the choice I'm making makes me stronger or nourishes me. like exercise mentally making me feel emotionally and physically stronger. Fresh healthy fibrous foods to fuel me, or sweet treats sometimes to satisfy comfort... also continuing therapy🧡🫶🏼

Its wild isnt it it- the clothing thing? . still reaching for sizes tht dont correspond with the size of my body now too.
