STARTING WEEK 9 OF SAXENDA

 Hello all. Sorry I'm a few days late this week. My kids started school on Tuesday so it's taken me a few days to be able to sit down and write.

I weighed in Tuesday morning and I was down another 1.6 for a total of 21.2 :-) I'm so excited!!

I will warn any people that are thinking of starting this medicine that if you overeat the medicine WILL let you know. Last night I was super hungry and I allowed myself a little extra food before bed... well woke up with nasty burps and heartburn. For me it's a reminder that my body didn't need that and I need to find a way to deal with those late night cravings. I'm still working on self control and I know it will take a while.

I'm still not down a size in pants yet so I was a little discouraged but I just have to keep reminding myself.....

As long as I keep that in mind it keeps me going. I just need to keep taking it day by day and the weight WILL come off.

Well until next week! BYE!

    Managing late-night cravings while on GLP-1 therapy often stems from under-fueling during the day, making structured, protein-dense meals essential for preventing evening hunger and gastrointestinal discomfort. Prioritizing protein protects lean muscle mass and supports your resting metabolic rate as your body composition gradually transforms.

STARTING WEEK 5 OF SAXENDA

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!

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...

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 a...
