Weekly weigh in - Fridays

Ooh, great results already. Keep us posted on how you get on. GLP-1s are proving very helpful for both diabetes and weight management. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be able to lose the weight without such means, I certainly would have tried one of the options available now.
 
I know my clothes are tighter and my tummy bigger...
But according to the scales I'm the same, or at least the middle of the same 1, 2 or 3 lbs that go on, come off, go on again.
Thought I'd put on, so happily surprised
But mustn't be complacent.

Well, that is a relief, MrsA2, but yes, best not to get complacent.
 
How did you get on this week?

After a long time not losing much for ages, I have lost 3lbs this week, which is rather odd and probably means I will have to wait another several months before losing again, but I will take it!

When you are in a weight loss stall, nothing for it but to continue on and wait it out, the weight will drop eventually.
 
I've maybe lost ½lb over the last few weeks. But I haven't put any on. I'll keep taking the vitamin P (patience).
It is hard when the scales aren't cooperating, but yes your patience will pay off eventually!
 
I've lost 2lbs but due to a stomach illness that meant I didn't eat for 36 hours, then only lightly after.
Suspect it will be on again next few days

Oh, tummy bugs are doing the rounds at the moment, I am sorry you got hit. Look after yourself and hopefully you won't gain it back.
 
Down again 2.1lbs to 213.6
 
71.6kg ... again. Feeling like a broken record but happy to be under 72kg.
 
How are you doing this week? I stayed the same, which I am not surprised about after last weeks big loss and I am quite happy about that. December is going to be tough, I have quite a lot of social events to attend and food will be such a temptation. It was easier last year because I could eat more calories as I was heavier, now I really have to watch what I eat and hunger is an issue. I still refuse to reduce my calorie intake and I do have more carbs now which helps.

Good luck everyone!
 
Down 3. I'm surprised it's coming off so quickly with Ozempic, but concerned I may be losing too fast. I spoke to the Dr. we agreed I should stay on the minimum dose for now. I feel more comfortable that way.
 
Up again 214.4 = gain of 0.8lb

Gosh, that is a good loss and a good call to stay on the minimum dose. What does it feel like on the drug - less hunger and do you feel any ill effects at all?

It is only a small gain, Filly, I am sure you can lose it as it probably hasn't really settled in yet! I hope you have a good week ahead.

Thanks. It is doing my head in.
