I’m about to start a combination of all 3 for weight loss along with PCOS symptoms. Has anyone been on all three? Did you see a decrease in your weight? I’m aware I still need to follow calories in/calories out to see change regardless of medication or not. I’ve been counting calories for about 6 months and the weight is still coming off SO slowly. I’d like to know if these helped the weight loss process for anyone.
Has anyone had any luck with this? I would like to lose some weight and I really find i can’t get any thinner! I am a vegetarian. I est a lot of fruits and vegetables and focus on getting protein. I probably eat a bit too much sugar. I run 6km a few times a week. I would like to be leaner and this drug is really intriguing to me.
This is a drug for diabetes but I know that it has been fda approved for weight loss. I am 5’8 and shift between 140-150 pounds. Losing 20 or 30 pounds would be ideal for me. Thanks
• start date 11/6/22
• age 32
• gender male
• height 5'8
• starting weight 328.8
• current weight 307.6
• goal weight 175
• what's your current plan? Intermittent fasting 22+ hours a day with a 30 min eating window 22+/30mins. I'll keep doing the Keto diet it's been working for me. I strive to drink at least 65oz of water a day. I try to sleep 6 hours a day and I weigh myself every day. I use the Fasting Tracker app to keep up with my water intake and weight loss progress and fasting times. I've lost 20.2 in 46 day and I'm curious to see what happens in the next 46 days.

After 1 year of diet/workout, and 3 months of CICO and daily exercise, i an officially 45lbs down.
I am about 5 lbs from my goal weight, but it feels monumental that I have been able to sustain such a weight loss, after struggling for years.
I used MyFitnessPal to track my caloric intake, and have averaged about 1610 calories in the past 100 days. Simply cutting out junk food, drinking more coffee and water, and making sure I dont binge eat at night.
Also did heavy weight lifting 5-7 days a week, on a split! Went to the gym for 1.5 hours a day, and sauna for recovery!!
Just took consistency, and even though there were times without motivation, consistency is key.
What do you think? As the title says, I hate how this saying is thrown around way too much. After loosing 20kg (sw 98kg, cw 78kg) I can tell you that of course It doesn't solve all your problems or make you magically happy.
What loosing a large amount of weight does to your mood is that it first of all makes you feel comfortable. Its this inner equilibrium. When you're larger, existing is uncomfortable. Standing, walking, sitting and breathing all feel like you're a maximum capacity ballon. That feeling goes away.
The saying is the truth, but also a lie. The happiness people like to confuse weight loss with is that it doesn't heal their with longterm depression. The type of happiness you do feel is for example in clothes being a lot looser, or old items fitting a lot better. My personal favourite; unlocking new bone definition and tendons. I stare at my hands way too much, I feel the bones in my back and I look at how hollow my armpits are. Those things are the real small happiness moments that loosing weight brings.

today has been a great day for me :) i am officially 18 lbs down since i started tracking my calories and food intake in late july. i know it isn't a very monumental weight loss, but seeing the number on the scale finally be 165 was genuinely shocking. 165 is a number i haven't seen since the summer of 2018, i haven't weighed that much since i was 13-14 years old. everything is starting to feel a lot less impossible, i finally feel like i can do it this time. i finally feel like i don't have to be obese my entire life, that i don't have to struggle with chronic back and hip pain and awful digestive issues at eighteen years old. i can actually feel my collarbones and wrist bones again which is amazing, i honestly forgot they were even there lmao. and even though i've only lost a couple pounds shy of 20, my clothes fit so much better and so much more comfortably already. i can't wait to hit 20 lbs down, then 30, 40 and onward-- i'm actually going to do it this time!!
anyways, obligatory details on how i've achieved my 18 pound weight loss :)
- i use my fitness pal as a general guide. i try to stay around ~1200-1400 calories max per day, but i'm not as strict or disciplined as i could be. however i do count absolutely everything that goes into my mouth, even something as small as eating a piece of cheese while cooking is extra calories i have to take into account. what i mean by that is i count my calories when i remember, and if i go over my calories for the day i add in extra movement like going for a 30 minute walk + at home youtube workout videos (so all together, roughly 50 minutes of movement) i find that working out intentionally every other day has been far more successful for me than doing it everyday and i mentally envision going over my calories for the day for a treat (e.g. a pastry or a drink from starbucks) as a fair trade for extra movement. ("i can totally have this treat right now, but then afterwards i need to listen to some music and move my body to make up for it.")
- i try not to finish all of my food unless i'm really hungry. what i mean about this is i eat until i'm satisfied and then i wrap the rest of it up and eat the rest later. a lot of the time i'm having one meal twice through out the day which is a fraction of the calories
- i force myself to move *far more* than i ever had in my entire life. when i decided i wanted to lose weight, i also decided i wanted to be a lot more productive. so everyday i make myself get up and do some light cleaning, make my bed and do the dishes, wash the floors, etc. my home stays cleaner and my body stays far more active. i also have two lovely dogs and instead of letting them out into the yard i now bundle myself up to walk them myself every single day
- before i quit my job to focus on school, i was working in retail which is similar to what i said above. adding in any kind of extra movement throughout the day, even if it only burns 30-50 calories definitely adds up in the grand scheme of things.
- it sounds really cliche, but eating less and moving more has been behind all of my success. not letting myself be lazy and sit around and eat all day but actually going out, being productive and having a meal when its *meal time* instead of when i'm bored or want something to snack on while i watch youtube or play games has really helped me
i hope this helps :D
I’m F 5’6 started at 180 and now I’m 155 . So 25 pounds and I notice no difference. Nothing what’s so ever. It’s mind fuckinf me up and I’m convinced every scale is lying to me at this point. I bought 2 already . Both say the same thing.
People say when you lose weight you’ll notice and feel it but I don’t not even a little bit. I guess 25 isn’t that much but hell I thought my tummy would be gone but it’s the same size I didn’t even start off that big I guess since I wasn’t even over 200. But it sucks I notice no difference in how I look. No one even says anythifn to me about my weight loss either .
What the fuck is happening
