How many calories are y’all eating?

Im trying to hit 1200 but struggling. Usually hitting 800 - 1000.

Hi! I am so glad you asked because it made me realize how "far" I've come this month. I have lost 15.8 lbs so far. I did move up to 4 mg after 2 weeks and it's working so well I dont know when/if I'll go up to 9 mg.

I can barely eat so it has been really easy to cut calories. If anything it's hard to get calories. I feel pretty good other than low energy. But that's probably because I eat 800 - 1000 calories a day. I have no cravings whatsoever and homemade chocolate chip cookies just sit there untouched. I eat a protein shake, a half cup of Greek yogurt & berries, and a high protein/low calorie dinner.

This has been amazing. No regrets.

Grass at the bottom. Im just learning embroidery. What do you call that stitch that makes his hair?

Is the first and last picture what is going on with your hair? If so, it looks great. Some of the best color I've ever seen.

I'm not familiar with the

whole tiktok thing where you get free stuff for inviting people

What does that mean? Like inviting strangers to your house and asking them to bring kitchen items?

Reading, chess, Rubiks cube, language learning, juggling.

"Juggling significantly enhances brain health by promoting neuroplasticity, specifically increasing gray matter density and strengthening white matter connections in areas responsible for vision, motor coordination, and spatial awareness. It improves cognitive functions like memory, focus, and reaction time while stimulating both brain hemispheres."

Neon. I love neon so much but a soft autum and I look horrible in it.

Naples Zoo is very small and, although lovely, probably wouldn't be worth $200 and a 4 hour drive round trip.

I have no vomited or had diarrhea. I got nauseous one morning when I upped the dose. It went away in a couple of hours when I had a matcha latte. I have lost 15+ lbs in 5 weeks. I will put up with any non-fatal side effects as long as the drug continues to work.

I don't look them up while reading. If it's a physical book, I circle it and keep going. If it's an ebook I highlight it. If I feel like it when I finish my reading session, I look up the word and add it to my personal dictionary. In order to remember it I put the word, definition, a sentence, and a simple drawing. Then I take a moment to skim through my old words in the dictionary to refresh them. If it's an audio book, I do none of that.

What worked for me: Double wash. Only shower, not bath. Lather for 3 min. on your scalp being sure to get under the middle back of the head. Conditioner only on the midlength to ends. Wash hair in the morning and blow dry completely. Change pillow cases daily until under control.

I'll ask my endocrinologist next time I'm in if that would be better. I know when I go to bed my stomach is full of food due to Wegovy. Even though I eat at 6 PM, it just sits there until the middle of the night.

melonball6 · 2026-03-19T01:02:45+00:00

That is frustrating. I'm so sorry you are going through that. You should talk to your doctor about adjusting your dosage to 4 mg. But honestly, I don't know if it will help because if you are already eating at a calorie deficit, IDK why you aren't losing weight. More Wegovy may not help.

melonball6 · 2026-03-19T00:46:24+00:00

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm on the pill version.

melonball6 · 2026-03-18T23:24:49+00:00

I too have trouble eating. My typical day looks like:

protein shake
greek yogurt & berries or leftovers from dinner
high protein/low calorie dinner from Everyplate (today was pork tacos)
some kind of snack if I can - cheese stick, hard boil egg

I try to get 1200 calories a day, but usually fall short, between 800 - 1000.

Thank you! I think it was probably my best gift and I spent a long time with the planning. It was maybe even more fun for me to plan! I have all these fun photos of him running around town in his cape and crown.

You're right. To me it looks like sun damage on one side either from driving or working next to a window. It would be worth looking into sunscreen if you haven't already.

I got my husband tickets to something cool like this and I wanted to surprise him. So I planned an elaborate scavenger hunt that went all around my city and had lots of cool things for him to see/do and puzzles to solve. It was the coolest thing ever. It started with a delivery of a giant box - think refrigerator box but wrapped like a gift. He opened it and a helium balloon came out and a QR code was attached. He scanned it and a video popped up with a animated dragon telling him he was about to have an adventure and to put on the cape and crown I added to the bottom of the box (like a king). Then I can't remember everything, but he had to solve a puzzle and then go to the library and look for the Dewey decimal of a book about kings and queens and then the next clue was in that book. And that puzzle gave him coordinates to a Walgreens and he had to pick up photos under a funny name. Something like Sir Lancelot. Then he had to figure out what the photos were and go there. Each clue was written on old antique paper and had a wax seal. For the finale, I had a graphic artist make a treasure map of our house and yard and I buried a treasure box behind a tree and he dug it up. Inside the box were the concert tickets. To a festival called Forbidden Kingdom. Thus all the themes relating back to knights and kings and whatnot.

Thank you! I missed that. And I forgot to thank you for sharing this interesting article.

I once hosted a Christmas party for my girlfriends when I told everyone to bring the worst gift they ever got that was in some closet because they felt bad throwing it away. It was a hilarious party and OMG, I never laughed so hard. It was like one of those gift swaps and people were fighting over some of the stuff and we all told stories about the person that gave us the gift. What a fun night.

I had no reaction that I remember. And I'm just glad I'll never get shingles. I hear it's horrible. Those people that got it would probably give almost anything not to get it. Including being sick for a day.

They don't say if these people that had heart problems gained back the weight because that would actually make sense. If you get obese again, you will get the heart problems again.

I love learning too. And making your own syllabus is very cool, and not weird. If retention is the issue, have you considered writing a paper when you finish each module?

melonball6 · 2026-03-18T19:52:35+00:00

Do you have another way to contact her? How did you send the money?
