It has been awhile since I posted on here. I completely forgot I had this blog. But here I am again. Losing weight and taking names. So in my last posts I was taking Wellbutrin but in the end that wasn't successful. I also did LeVel again. nothing...Plexus slim. I liked the flavor but didn't do what it said. I also went on Phentermine. That was good, but gave me high blood pressure. So I had to go off that. So I slowly gained weight. I tried WW numerous times but I just couldn't get the results I did when I did it back before I started working. Also I stopped going to the gym. Well here I am...trying again. Back in February 2022, I started WW again. I lost 25lbs on that. then September/November my sister was looking into prescription drugs. I found that they had new medication out there. After jumping through some hoops and figuring out what my insurance will and will not cover. I decided on Wegovy but there was a shortage. So I went with Saxenda until the Wegovy came back in stock. So November 2022 I started Saxenda. I was 208lbs. Back in Feb of 2022. my weight was 235. So I titrated up like I was suppose to. I had no major issues with the medication. The food noise was quieted, my appetite was lowered and what I did eat kept me content longer. Then in Feb 2023, Wegovy is back in stock so I switched over. The reasoning is that Wegovy is once a week as opposed to the Saxenda daily. I didn't like having to inject myself. It made me nervous. but I got over it and it really don't hurt. Again my food noise is still quiet, food digestion is slower, cravings are minimized. I don't have any major side effects. Some things people experience is nausea, constipation, vomiting, etc. I don't have any of that. I have currently lost another 25lbs. My loss is slower than some experience but I am ok with that.(or so I tell myself) I am now 179# My goal is 150, anything more and that is good. I will never meet the ideal BMI that all the websites say. that is 110 to 119#.
My body isn't bouncing back like when I lost weight back before I started working. I also haven't been doing the weight lifting I did back then. But my skin is saggy and I guess according to my friend I am also loosing my butt. So now I have to look into skin tightening. I can't do body pump like I did before cuz classes and work don't line up. So I have been doing water fitness and elliptical. I also got an infinity hoop, but I haven't given that a go yet.
