Down 40lbs since Jan, feeling great!

@Cat-Fixed Progress pics are great! Another thing is to measure yourself. You might not *see* the difference, but the tape measure doesn't lie! Also, pay attention to how your clothes fit. Congrats on your progress!
 
That smile says everything. Love that you're feeling better inside and out - transformation is incredible. Keep pushing, you're doing the most important work.
 
Pescan diet is naturally high in carbs and works great for tons of folks. Like the volumetrics approach since veggies, fruit and unrefined carbs have way more volume.
 
I get it - when you discover how much it helps, you want to tell everyone. I'm more careful about it since work, but people who want to listen hear all about the benefits. Maybe just give your son a break on the topic though haha.
 
i make fancy drinks every morning—ice, lemon/lime, electrolytes in mason jars with straws. people ask what i'm drinking cause it looks so good. keeps me drinking way more water & stops the constipation issue.
 
felt that way week 2 but i went from half to one to 1.5 to two and stayed there two weeks. first week was just hunger, week 3 stuff changed, week 4 i'm really watching what and when i eat, taking digestion supplements. feel pretty dialed in now. stay at 2 until it stops working then add more if needed.
 
down 10 lbs but everyone else's results make me feel like i'm failing. still struggling to stay under 2000 cal a day and i'm hungry after. on 1.75 weekly. really wanted this to be my summer and i'm nowhere close. working on a farm burns calories too so i don't get why the weight won't budge.
 
It's the absolute best. Stopped obsessing about good or bad food. Eat what I want, just not much of it. Had a half bagel with whitefish salad this morning because I wanted it. No internal debate about eating the whole thing. It's freeing.
 
never had food noise honestly. didn't overeat after my gastric surgery before this either. never craved sweets - if anything it's weird stuff like liver or steak or fish. lost weight first with bypass surgery, now with this med. been active most of my life, played sports in school and all that.
 
Noticed very vivid dreams since starting about two years back. Sleep interrupted occasionally. Recall about one per week. This month had two great ones plus ridiculously wild ones. Not concerning to me.
 
Skipped a pound last week which sucked, then put back 1.8 this week even though I ramped up protein at meals. Need to get moving and exercise more. Feeling pretty defeated without a deadline pushing me.
 
18 months on this, zero side effects. high protein, low carb the whole way. it's been slow but results are stunning—down 100 lbs. never had hope for weight loss before. truly shocked. there is hope for us.
 
Vivid, memorable dreams are one of the more consistent off-label reports across GLP-1 medications - shows up regardless of compound and doesn't always settle with time. The sleep interruption piece is more worth tracking than the content; if actual sleep quality is dropping, that affects recovery, energy, and weight loss outcomes. Two years in with ongoing disruption suggests it's not early adaptation.
