Hello All,
I hope you are all enjoying the Easter bank holidays. I’ve very much enjoyed having a few days off.
This week has been pretty good. I’ve finally hit the 4 stone mark, which I’m chuffed with. A 2.2lb loss.
Easter is a bit of a weird time to be a diabetic on a weight loss mission. I do miss the eggs, and the hot cross buns even more so. I know I could have a bit - but I’m not good with moderation. It’s always been a slippery slope for me. However, now that I’m back in the normal blood sugar range, I am slightly less restrictive. I will have a very small portion of rice (usually with a microwave meal when I’m busy) or a flavoured yogurt these days. All within my calorie limits. Still fairly strict but a little bit more relaxed.
Mounjaro symptoms wise - nothing to report this week. I don’t feel big appetite suppression, but I’m still managing to control my food and the weight is moving, so I shall plod on with 5mg. I can recommend the app Shotsy for anyone taking Mounjaro, Ozempic etc - helps you to track it all.
I’ve done plenty of exercise this week. Weight lifting class was good. I’ve been on some lovely walks in the sunshine.
I hope you all have a great week x
SW: 23st 2lb (18/11/24)
CW: 19st 2lb
Weight lost total: 4 stone
Weight loss since starting Mounjaro on 13/01/25: 2st 4lb.
