STARTING WEEK 2 OF SAXENDA

What a week!! I am very pleased with how things are going so far. I lost 6.9 pounds this week!!!!! So excited! I will up my dosage today and will continue until I am at 3. I wasn't as hungry but not as much as I was hoping. I do know a normal size meal wouldn't fill me up before I started Saxenda and now I feel full and not hungry.

The changes I did make to my diet are:

Eating slowly
No fast food (unless unavoidable)
No soda
No sweets
LOTS OF WATER
Limit carbs when able
1200-1300 calories a day

I'm hoping as I up my dosage I will feel full even more so I don't feel as hungry. I definitely had to use some willpower this week to not eat sometimes.

As far as side effects I was blessed and I hope I continue to be so. I was only a little nauseous the first 2 days and then it subsided. The only time it came back was when I overate or ate too fast. I've been eating an Activia yogurt daily to help with digestive issues and so far no complaints on that end. I also read that some people had issues sleeping and I haven't really noticed that but then I usually have a hard time sleeping anyway sometimes. It's neat with my fitbit to see exactly how well I'm sleeping each night and so far so good.

I haven't been able to walk the past 2 weeks due to being busy with my kids but looking forward to adding that back in soon.

I'm excited to start week 2 on the new dosage and I'm not dreading the scale anymore! It's so different when you are changing your eating and lifestyle habits to lose weight and you KNOW this time it will be different. This time the weight won't creep back on and that keeps me motivated to keep at this. I'm so thankful for Saxenda right now!! :-)

Will update again next week!!! I will be posting a video on my video blog later today so if you haven't subscribe there so you don't miss it!!

3 month Saxenda Update

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since I have posted!! I put this on my video blog the other day but I also wanted to post here that I've decided to post both written and video blog once a month to keep everyone updated. If I get alot of questions then I will post more. In 3 months I lost 28 pounds!!! I'm super excited! I'm still at 1.8. I tried to go up to 2.4 and felt really sick so I went back down to 1.8. My doc is on board and as long as it's working he's cool with me staying at 1.8 I'm hoping to go off my blood pressure meds soon. My bp was the lowest it's been in years at my doc appt last week so that's also exciting!!! Please let me hear from those of you on saxenda about how it's going! Also for those of you thinking about it go ahead and post some questions. I'd love to tell you more about it. I'll post again in a month! Here's my progress pic from start to 3 month pic I can really tell and I know i&

Rough week last week and starting week 10 of Saxenda

Image
Well last week was a rough one for me. For some reason my self control was at a 0 last week. Those of you out there who have a true emotional addiction to food can feel my pain. It was as if nothing could satisfy my cravings and all I wanted was the really bad stuff. I indulged.... a lot and I knew it meant the scale yesterday morning would mean no loss but at the time I just gave in. I had to re start my commitment to myself today. There are so many people out there who can't get this medicine because their insurance won't cover it or they get too sick on it to stay on it. I'm blessed that although I have some side effects for the most part I'm good on this medicine and above all it works! So I'm back to the basics this week.  I'm going to try and restrict my carbs, and stay within my 1200 calorie limit. I'm going to drink a lot of water and avoid sweets and fast food. I think I'm so used to failing that before when on a diet whenever I had a rough we

I'm still at 1.8 and I do now get hungry but I'm still full after eating a small portion. I'm staying within 1200-1300 calories a day.
