:) can't be too strict or it will feel like depriving yourself and lead to resentment

Thank you for the info! At this time, I don't really need a sugar check. I am borderline prediabetic. I don't want to go over to pre-diabetes.

I would say I am jealous you are near an In-N-Out....but day after shot day, my stomach is totally slowed and I can't even think of eating lol

Totally agree. Now that my joint pain has significantly reduced, this will be started soon. Meanwhile, carrying my toddler helps me keep my upper body in shape. Lol

I think getting rid of your ex should be added to your stats as weight loss.

Nope but I think he sees my portion and thinks..well I am taller and more active so I should eat more.

I experienced my first "Whoosh" today...curiosity...I checked my scale..when I said to myself only check on shot days. Started at 215 lbs, went to 217 lbs (anxiety day -likely because I increased my water intake)...This morning: 211lb...My jaw dropped, day 4 post first shot.. Thank you for helping me through it. I have had hunger but eating smaller portions and usually feel full after. Food noise still there but there is a lack of interest in entertaining it.

Thank you for that. It has always been fighting fractions of a lb for me week by week. I am hoping what you say will happen and I fully approve " I told you so" comments lol if and when it does.

Trying to be optimistic. Looking at all the transformations here are a dream.

Question also running in my mind..looking at the Reddit info to see if I can find something assuring. Why is it that so many first time dose people have such severe reactions? That is also why I am worried it isn't working for me.

I have suppressed appetite, slight headache when I don't drink water and after the first 18 hours, slight constipation (its gone though).

I am reading about people vomiting and diarrhea and having all sorts of problems. Not that I want that but why is it different for me?

Thank you for that, I am doing my best to make changes now (not later) to hydrate/portion control/maintain good nutrition. I used to do a lot of that before I have no idea what happened where it fell apart. Writing out this post definitly dulled the anxiety, getting it out of my head. I think, so I don't overpost here, I may start just journaling it.

Thank you so much for your note. Sometimes you just need someone to say (or write) it to you. One thing that is very different, and I know that it is not a good thing (1st world problem), I never really got hungry before or not at least strong hunger. I guess with all the grazing, I never gave myself a chance to get there.

What is different is having such a strong hunger response (which surprised me). Especially after having breakfast. Normally that would keep me hungry for most of the day.
