2 Month Check-in

Weight Loss Journey Check-In

 September 29, 2022 

I decided to check-in because it has been over a week since I check-in and I want to know what is going on with me... I'm not sure how many times I will come in and share with you my weight but just know I'm keeping up with me!!! 

I took my second shot on 5mg of Mounjaro today and I have been asked by my doctor to weigh in on those days. 

Today, I weighed in at 282 and I'm not sure how much I have lost but I can tell the difference in my clothing and they are just falling off like the fall leaves. 

I'm very proud of myself and keeping up with things... 

My eating habits are really down and I have been mostly eating fruits, water and protein shakes. 

I have tasted some veggies and they have a great taste and I'm okay...

I have had some problems with my BM being kind a hard but it was not to bad. I've had to increase the water intake more and that is a plus for me and my skin complexion. I've learned not to over eat and not to eat to get full but to kill maybe the hunger pains if any. 

I can't wait to see my doctor in the middle of the month of October to see how much I have lost but I'm sure I will not disappoint once again. 

14/15 pounds last month anticipating the same results coming up!!! 

See you Soon,  The Winning Life Continues!!! 

Checking In

Today, I started my 5mg Mounjaro and I weighed and I'm so excited to say I'm down another 5 pounds. I weighed in at 283, and I tried something new today and I can't wait to find more at the supermarket. I know you want to know what it is? 

It is FairLife Protein Shakes. 

I was gifted a chocolate flavored one and OH My Goodness...I love it!!!!

I will not weigh in again until this series of the 5mg Mounjaro is over so I will catch you next time...

Check Up Time

I shared in my earlier post that I had an appointment today and although I was skeptical about Mounjaro I can say I'm a believer. I was 302 and today I am down 14 pounds and I'm getting stronger. I set a goal of 5,000 steps in August and I surpassed the goal and I'm walking about 10,000 steps a day. I am having some nausea and I'm working on my reflux. Overall I feel great and my doctor was very pleased. I will be going up to 5mg of Mounjaro and I go back and see the doctor in another month. I will keep you posted and I'm working on me ... The winning life 2k22 and beyond!!!

How I'm doing

Disclaimer....I'm NOT doctor...just sharing my journey with you!! 

If this is something you want to try please go and seek medical advice...

I started taking Mounjaro August 26, 2022 and after much research and speaking with my physician we thought this would be a great way outside of surgery to help me get the weight off. Post COVID and for the betterment of my health. What is Mounjaro is a new weight loss drug that helps your pancreas to break down your food better and it also makes you feel full with also working on your mind not to over eat...I was taught by my physician how it works because I have to give myself a shot in the recommended areas on my body. I'm on my third shot at a dose of 2.5mg and I must admit I'm not eating as much and I also try and eat as much protein as I can because once you are full you are full and you can't eat anymore for the day. I'm drinking lots of water because I'm thirsty but not overly. I am eating lots of fruit because it helps to sustain me when I'm hungry but can only eat a bit or two...recently I have fallen in love with pudding because it is only 100 calories and it is healthy for me when I can't eat solid foods. I truly feel as if I have gotten a gastric bypass or sleeve surgery. I only have a small window where I can eat and if I over eat my stomach will let me know or I will get nauseous, so I watch it.

I have a doctors appointment coming up September 13. I know I'm already losing weight those that know what's going on can see small changes. lastly, I heard from the doctor and she told me I had already loss 4 pounds and that was in the first week. I'm working on me...

Working On Me 2022

In several months with God's blessing I will be celebrating 50 years of life. No it hasn't been easy and I've had some health concerns and challenges along the way but God has been good to me!!!

I have been on many weight loss journey's and have done very well to loss over 100 pounds. We have had what has been call a dreadful virus called COVID that has taken so many people from this world to the next. I'm thanking God that I wasn't one that wasn't taken and I have another opportunity for life.

That being said I want to be better. I want to be healthier once again. I want to feel good when I wake up and I want to have lots of energy and I had that before the Virus came and now I'm doing something about it ...

Follow me once again to the winning life 2022 into 2023 and let's see where we will be in the end....I'm still working on me ...

The winning life 2022...

August 2022

I have heard of Mounjaro and I see how many are doing well on this new weight loss journey. I had the opportunity to start during the ending of May of 2022 but I didn't think it would be the best thing for me. 

First, I thought it would be expensive and I knew with the cost of inflation that it wouldn't be the right thing for me or my family. Second, I hadn't done my research and I wasn't sure if this was something that was good for my body. Yes, had I heard about in the News...Yes!! Had I read about it in media last journal's  ... Yes but not in great detail. I thought it would be best if I just waited my turn and see what I could do.

Thirdly, after waiting and seeing so many different results I have decided to try it!!!

In the next post I will talk about what it is and the affects I'm experiencing if any!!!

I'm working on me....
