STARTING WEEK 7 OF SAXENDA

Well it looks like my body has adjusted to weight loss and is gradually staring to go back down. I lost .6 this past week for a total of 17.2 pounds. Not as much as I would have liked but as long as the scale is going down and not up I'm going to take it and be happy. Especially considering I traveled this past weekend and spent about 15 hours on the road with no healthy food around.

My side effects are all gone except for constipation which is the primary problem with this medication for most people. I definitely need to add more vegetables and fiber into my diet, but for now I take colace daily. One positive from the medicine is I still get full really quickly which is helping me with my portion control.

My kids all start school in 2 weeks so i'm hoping that will free me up to having time to exercise. That's the one area I desperately need improvement on.

I'm going to do a blog here soon that is a breakdown of what I eat, how and when I do my shot, side effects etc. Basically a quick reference guide for those who stumble upon this blog looking for that info and don't have time to read through all the blogs.

I know some of you reading are on a similar journey. I'd love to hear how you are doing!!

Until next week!!!!

    Are you still going? I had started on 3/22/17 and have kept going. I reached a place where I didn't lose any for a few months, but I wasn't exactly watching what I ate nor was I very active. But now I'm back on track and I'm down from 197 to 154. Went to the doc and he's good with keeping me on this until I get down to about 135. I'm 5'4" so 135 is still on the "high" side of "acceptable" BMI weight. Good luck and I hope you are still losing.

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

Well today marks exactly one month on Saxenda!! I lost 3.4 on week 4 for a total of 16.8!!! I'm super excited!!! I can tell a little bit myself that my body is changing but I don't think it's visible to anyone else yet. Here's a side by side of may pic on left and today's pic on right. 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. For those who prefer to watch rather than read or for those who like both. Here's my video blog link. Don't forget to subscribe and I will update again next week!
