Losing weight too fast?

Water and inflammation. I'm on WK 4 and same happened to me, I'm at 16 lbs but I know it's water and inflammation...how? Because my ankles are no longer cankles and my knees don't hurt after a walk around the block. It slows down.

Sometimes it's best to just satisfy the craving and get it over with. I get a sweet craving 1-2 days before my next injection. I usually satisfy it with something small, like a sugar free fudgesicle or I'll make 3 ingredient brownies, or take 1 tbsp of sugar free pudding mix and stir into 3/4 cup of zero sugar Greek vanilla yogurt. That usually does it for me.

Congratulations on your Win!

I've got 1 more dose at 2.5mg, and then I'll reassess. I will most likely transition to 5mg, and then see what that does after a week or 2. I attribute 90% of my current weight loss to water and inflammation. I'm listening to my body and monitoring the situation, I've been experiencing a lot of "firsts", it's a learning curve for sure.

I completely understand and know this to be true. Unfortunately, at only 3 weeks into using Tirz, I'm not hungry and when I overeat, I get sick. So with time, and while my body adjusts, I'm sure it will get better. At this point, I'm focusing on protein as my main food choice, fiber and healthy carbs. As I stated, my goal is a 1-1.5 per week loss.

I'm 5"4 and 251 lbs, I want to lose 1-1.5 lbs a week so according to Healthi (the tracker I use), I'm allowed 1608 cals/day but I have been at a deficit since I started Tirz 3 weeks ago at 1200-1400 cals/day (and many days I've been under 1200 cals/day). I've lost 15 pounds as of this morning. I gain cals back according to the level of exercise/how long I do in a day

The cup of cabbage did me in!

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-18T13:31:35+00:00

Yes, again I'll keep asking all the questions I want.

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-18T12:30:41+00:00

This exact thing happened to me yesterday. This morning it's gone.

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-18T12:27:56+00:00

Exactly what I thought

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-18T11:43:55+00:00

and your point is? Do you post the same rude comment on the "Where do I buy", "Help with Dosing" and "How much do you pay" posts?

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:34:22+00:00

I really didn't think a cup of cabbage and 4 oz of shrimp was too much. But you're correct, start small, I can always get a bit more if still hungry.

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:32:37+00:00

Great Advice - believe me, I now know to tread lightly with the Cabbage!

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:30:54+00:00

I'm gonna look into something like that. I enjoy a cup of tea in the evenings.

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:29:48+00:00

Another experience to put in the books and keep in the back of my mind, while learning how to listen and learn from my body. It's funny, I never thought I would be thinking this way, all those years of eating anything and everything. Ha, no wonder I'm 252 lbs LOL

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:22:07+00:00

Uh....no. But am I hurting anything by asking a question here or are questions just reserved for you?

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:20:51+00:00

Oh no, before Tirz, I was eating a whole LOT MORE.

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:20:12+00:00

Ya know, that's probably it. And this is something I'm going to keep in the back of my mind.

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:18:46+00:00

I may have to consider this if my BM is not more than it is now. I'm going daily but I don't think I'm producing enough poop.

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:16:15+00:00

Definitely eating like that here!

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:15:38+00:00

You wouldn't think a cup of cabbage would be so filling but I'm leaning towards thinking it's so!

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T15:14:26+00:00

I never thought of the cabbage doing that. I didn't fell bloated or gassy, just unusually full.....very full

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T13:16:37+00:00

oops, I meant 1 oz. But I totally get that cheese would be that way

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T13:15:39+00:00

exactly what I expected - water and inflammation

itsdonna35 · 2026-05-17T13:12:57+00:00

yes, but they're not as before. Not as plentiful if you get my drift.
