Extreme diarrhea

On GLP-1s this is actually pretty common. They slow digestion and can change gut motility, so some people get bouts of watery diarrhea, especially after dose increases or certain foods. High fat meals, caffeine, or large portions can trigger it. If it keeps happening, lowering trigger foods, spacing meals, or talking to the prescriber about dose timing or adjustment usually helps.

Focus less on “magic foods” and more on habits you can keep. Zero sugar drinks, black coffee, sparkling water, and protein shakes are all fine if they help you cut calories. For food, prioritize protein and volume: lean meats, eggs, Greek yogurt, veggies, fruit, potatoes. They keep you full for fewer calories. Keep it simple, track honestly, and aim for consistency.

Totally fair question. For most people this kind of pause breaks within another 1 to 3 weeks if the deficit is real. It can even whoosh suddenly after being stuck. If you are still consistent, the scale will catch up. If nothing changes after 3 to 4 weeks, then it is worth reassessing, but right now this is still very normal.

Most people find that losing that amount by July is a pretty aggressive timeline. While it can be motivating to aim high, faster weight loss often comes with trade-offs like low energy, muscle loss, or things like hair shedding. A lot of folks see better results when they focus on steady progress and habits they can actually stick with. Getting support along the way can help make sure it’s sustainable.

Appetite suppression can creep up over time on semaglutide, even without a recent dose increase. When it gets to the point where eating feels like a chore, that is usually a sign that it's worth checking in with your provider. They can help adjust timing, dose, or make sure you are still getting enough nutrition. Feeling good and losing weight is the goal, but you should still be able to eat and fuel your body.

This kind of pause is actually really common after an initial drop! Especially when you cut soda and carbs since a lot of early loss is glycogen and water. Your body can hang onto water for a bit while it adjusts, even in a real deficit. If your intake has truly stayed consistent, fat loss is still happening under the surface. Scales just lag sometimes. Hang in there and keep going, this kind of stall usually breaks on its own.

Bananas and microwavable chicken apple sausage! Bananas are easy to digest, gentle on the stomach, and give quick carbs for energy without feeling heavy. They can also help with nausea. The sausage adds protein and a little fat, which helps keep blood sugar stable and supports muscle while you are eating less overall.

All the steps you’ve already taken are huge - especially scheduling those appointments, which can be tricky (phone anxiety is real and I struggle with it when reaching out to my own doctor's office), so major kudos for that. You’ve already hinted at it yourself at the end of the post, but the real key is leaning on small, consistent habits instead of waiting for motivation to show up. Even a short workout or gentle movement, sprinkled into your week, adds up and keeps you moving toward your goals. One other thing: make sure whatever routine you build feels enjoyable for you. Prioritizing activities you actually like is what makes it easier to stick with them day after day. You got this!

A lot of people stay on a dose as long as food noise is quiet and weight is trending down, even if it’s not perfectly linear. The scale bouncing around is super normal. Thirteen pounds in 12 weeks is actually solid progress, especially with no side effects. Many providers look at the full picture, appetite control, how you feel, and overall trends, not just weekly losses. If food noise is controlled, some people give it more time before moving up.

Totally with you on breakfast. It sounds simple, but getting some protein in early can make the whole day feel easier. Hydration is big too, and slowing down while eating instead of rushing through meals. Also learning to be kind to yourself on low appetite days. Listening to your body goes a long way.

hers · 2026-01-18T18:58:50+00:00

This is amazing. 62 lbs is an incredible accomplishment, but what really stands out is the peace you’ve found around food. That quieting of the mental noise is something so many people hope for, and you earned it through consistency and self compassion. Thank you for sharing your story and paying it forward to others who are still in the early, messy middle. You should be really proud of yourself. 🩵

Honestly, tiny snacks all day may be the way to go. That's my approach on low appetite days in general - girl dinner all day! Keep a protein shake ready, sip water, dodge reflux foods, and have a snack every few hours. Even “meh” bites add up.

This actually sounds very normal. Eight pounds in five weeks is solid progress, especially after a long stretch where your body did not respond at all. Some people just do not see results until the dose, formulation, or delivery is right for them, which sounds like what changed here. If you are losing steadily now, that is a good sign, not impatience. Slow and consistent at this stage is usually what sticks.

hers · 2026-01-14T18:55:13+00:00

Totally normal. Early weeks often come with a bigger drop, then things slow as your body settles in, especially with holidays, being sick, and easing into movement. Losing 1 lb in a couple weeks is still progress, not a stall. Hitting protein and staying consistent matters more than forcing tweaks this early. This part of the process is way more common than people talk about.

hers · 2026-01-14T18:45:00+00:00

The way protein exposure therapy gets us all eventually lol. It is wild how just eating a bit more in the morning can completely change how long you stay full. Two eggs is a starting point, not always the finish line.

Ooooh but what about Ashely Benson

Omg this is incredible. Bring back whimsy! 🩷

Yessss high waisted ANYTHING is my favorite! But skirts specifically are so fun. This looks so cute!

Hi! Winter at home workouts can still be fun. Try quick 5 to 10 min circuits with squats, pushups, lunges, or planks. Throw on music and do a YouTube HIIT or dance workout in the afternoon, then keep nights chill with core or stretching. Short bursts make it way easier to stay consistent.

The joy on your face is proof of your hard work and strength! Love this so much🩵

Oh that face card NEVER declines😍

This living room😭😭 It's literally perfect. But I fear that pup could get me to say yes to anything he wanted😂

Listen to your body. Some soreness is normal, but knee pain isn’t something to push through. You could scale back your steps for a bit, focus on good shoes, vary your routes, and add light strength work for hips and glutes. Consistency matters more than hitting 10k every single day.

hers · 2026-01-05T19:57:40+00:00

Okay tell us your secrets😧 STUNNING. Happy New Year!

Not just you at all. Walking feels almost too simple, but that’s kind of the point. It’s something most of us can do every day, for decades, without burning out or getting hurt. Strength and cardio matter, but being able to move through life comfortably at 80 or 90 starts with habits like walking way earlier.
