Haha my ID still says some crazy weight from high school. I was expecting to hit 135 but honestly 170 feels right for me. Going any lower would probably look off.
Makes me wonder what's different about how my brain worked before. Is this what a typical person feels like day to day? Wild to think about how much that imbalance shaped who I became.
Heavy exercise last week weighed Monday. 1400-1800 calories daily, 1500 deficit probably. Lots protein. Weighed lost four whole target. Starving first week probably muscle loss. Restriction works. Cut hard wish.
I had the same issue with semaglutide - didn't kick in for about two months. Keep pushing through the dose escalations. Also look at your telehealth costs - I was way overpaying until I found a cheaper provider that didn't sacrifice quality. Student budget struggles are real, there are...

These drugs just cut appetite, they don't magically drop weight. You still choose whether to eat less and create a deficit. If it's not working for appetite then you might be in that ten to fifteen percent of people these don't suppress hunger for.
Society engineered food to hit dopamine buttons. That's why I ate all the time. This med helps regulate that dopamine stuff so you're not fighting biology anymore. And yeah there's weird stigma around any health med but it's just a tool. Positive side effects might show up too.
