1) stop saying you were addicted to food. I can build back from a lower baseline with weight training and some cardioįirst im glad it is working for you, but you are going about this the totally wrong way. And I don't care if I'm losing muscle mass. It's such a relief to have some help in getting this monkey off my back. I ate when I was stressed, sad, anxious, whatever. The numbers say that without help, it just doesn't happen.

But statistically 50 year olds don't lose weight. I wouldn't really consider this a drastic step. May I ask why you took such a drastic step? So if/when I plateau I'll have a higher dosage to fall back on to push me to my goal. The other thing is that your body will adjust and begin to compensate. My loss has slowed down to about 3# per week. I got ahead of the curve without ever getting to 2.3. And you're supposed to work your way up until you find the right balance. And happy to answer any qquestionsįrom everything I have read, you want to be closer to the 2-3lbs a week range. Anyhow I'm just curious of other experiences with this. This shite is the nuclear bomb of appetite suppressants and weight loss drugs. I ate maybe 6 or 7 shrimp, and I couldn't finish my beer. I went out the other night for boiled shrimp and beer. I'm choking down less than 1000 calories a day. The waitress put it in front of me, and I ran to the bathroom and puked. The next day, I ordered my normal lunch (even though I was strangely not hungry). It's a weekly injection that I've learned to give myself. And then getting it from a compounding pharmacy was a whole other story. Then getting it approved by my insurance was another drama scene. I probably called 20 places before I found someone to give me the Rx.

I won't go through the details of how I finally got the medicine. But I had been following the trials of Semaglutide used as an appetite suppressant for 2 years. I am 6'1" and on Sept 1st I weighed #245. I probably had the worst food discipline - the worst diet I guess - of any educated person I know.
