Day 70: Crossing the 200-Pound Milestone

It's been a remarkable journey since my last update, with two significant weigh-ins marking some exciting progress. The first one showed a weight of 91.6kg/202lbs, down from 92.4kg/203.7lbs, followed by another drop to 90.4kg/199.3lbs from 91.6kg/202lbs.

Yes, you read that right—I've finally dipped below 200 pounds! It's a milestone I haven't reached since 2015, and it feels like a major victory in my journey.

Surprisingly, I managed to shed more than a kilogram over the past week, despite enjoying a few family dinners with indulgent desserts over the Easter celebrations. While I could have exercised more portion control during those meals, it seems the excess didn't derail my overall progress.

The consistent loss of over one kilogram per week in recent weeks is a reassuring sign that I haven't hit a plateau—a concern that had been nagging at me. I'm thrilled with the steady progress I've made so far, and the prospect of continuing this momentum is incredibly motivating.

Here's to celebrating milestones, big and small, and embracing the journey ahead!

Weigh to go with Wegovy

Embarking on the Wegovy Journey: A Six-Month Chronicle I've embarked on a fascinating medical journey as a participant in a six-month clinical trial for Wegovy, a medication being studied for its effects and potential side effects. This trial includes a control group, who will not receive the actual medication, and another group that will be administered Wegovy. My group allocation remains a mystery to me, and it will stay that way until the study concludes. Prior to the trial, I underwent a series of preliminary tests and meetings to confirm my eligibility. My updates here will primarily focus on my personal experiences during this trial, rather than the detailed aspects of the medical study itself. The protocol involves weekly injections at the medical facility, conducted by the trial's professionals. There's confidence in the uninterrupted supply of the medication. My journey begins with a starting dosage of 0.25, which will be adjusted monthly depending on the presence ...

Day 1 Here we go

Day 1 Reflections Yesterday marked the beginning of a new regimen for me. I was advised to abstain from eating post-midnight prior to each weekly injection, as part of the routine includes blood tests. Consequently, my day commenced on an empty stomach. The injection was administered around 11 AM, and initially, I noticed no discernible changes. Lunch was a usual affair – a sandwich. Ordinarily, by dinner time around 5 PM, hunger pangs would be a familiar sensation. However, an unusual lack of appetite greeted me as I began dinner preparations, even with the temptation of leftover birthday cake in the kitchen – a snack I usually can't resist. Despite cooking my usual dinner, my portion size was notably reduced – I served myself only half of my typical amount. Surprisingly, this smaller portion left me feeling content, leading me to store away the leftovers without a hint of further craving. The absence of the urge to continue eating was a new experience for me. My evening included ...

Day 8 Reflections: Steady Progress and a Shift in Routine

Image
Today was largely consistent with the previous days in terms of side effects and appetite – no major changes to report there. I had an indoor football session that lasted an hour and it turned out quite well. Interestingly, I noticed a change in my performance – I wasn't running as much as usual, but I felt lighter and more agile, which made me feel more dynamic on the field. Overall, I played well, but around the 45-minute mark, I experienced a dip in intensity, possibly due to low blood sugar, a pattern I've observed recently. There's been a slight adjustment in the trial schedule. My injection day has moved from Tuesdays to Wednesdays, which required me to fast from midnight. Given my increased hunger at night, especially after playing football, I decided to eat as much as I could before the fasting period began. My goal was to avoid struggling to fall asleep or waking up hungry in the middle of the night. This adjustment in my trial routine and managing my eating schedu...
