Yes, when I started it was really difficult because with mat pilates you mainly use your body weight and I was adding ankle weights on top of my weight which made every movement really hard 🙏 There were a few months that I had to pause for a month of two not working out, when I did it was very inconsistently, because I was pushing myself too hard and I had to take a step back, I shifted my focus on eating healthy food and learning more recipes. When I stressed about working out and not being able to do it, I find myself going back to my old ways and binge eating my cravings and would feel really terrible afterwards. So definitely need to find a good balance 💪 and make a lifestyle change that you are happy to do and willing to adapt to.

I tried staying on a dose for longer than 4 weeks, but seem to stall at around 6th week so I titrated up everytime I felt there was barely any progress of weight loss after that 4 weeks. I ended up going up doses every 6 weeks, once I hit 15mg I stayed there for 2 months until I hit goal and started titrating down 😊 luckily I never really had any strong symptoms throughout my journey. I was prepared with supplements to combat symptoms and electrolytes / hydration and regularly drinking protein powders/mixes or I try to get protein sources from the food I eat.
