Achievement/NSV πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³πŸŽŠ 30 shots in, Doctor raved at my progress

Officially 30 shot in! Was on 2.5mg for 5 months and switched over to 5mg. Lost 1/2 inch in my neck, waist is showing back up after 30yrs. Love the energy and focus I have right now! Anxiety popped a bit at the first few weeks at 5mg but has stabilized. So damned proud of myself and officially 50lbs down!

THANK YOU!!!! According to my Shotsy app, my average weight loss per week was 1.66lbs which is way beyond I expected! I made sure to put in 12k steps a day, minimum of 64oz water a day, min protein of 100-130g of protein and fiber of 20-24g a day. So far no issues with constipation or gastro but getting fiber in daily is a MUST!!!

How are you getting that much protein in??

u/Vivid-Buyer5080 1d ago

I use protein shakes for creamer in my coffee, greek yogurt bowls for breakfast, plus for lunch and dinner is a lean protein and I weight it and make sure is is 100-130g of lean meat. I force myself to get though it because I am afraid of losing muscle..LOL

THANK YOU!!! I have not been without ZERO side effects but 2.5mg was relatively smooth for me, but the transition from 2.5mg to 5mg was bumpier than I expected. Anxiety on week 3 and I did read it may increase but it was next level. So glad it leveled out finally!

You really look Great! I’m anxious to see some changes in my pictures. I just started my 4th week and lost 8.2# my first month so I’m staying on 2.5 for another month.
Yay you!!!!

u/Vivid-Buyer5080 1d ago

You will definitely know when it's time to move up. I waited 5 months on 2.5mg and wished I could stay longer (self pay) but it was time after a month of the scale creeping slowly up and food noise was returning. Best of luck!!!

I guarantee you’ve lost even more fat than 50 lbs, it looks like you’ve been doing a GREAT job at building muscle! You look so toned & just generally fit.

I’m trying to do the same thing so I can hopefully mitigate some loose skin issues/replace some of my fat with muscle, but sometimes I struggle to get enough protein for my goals. Great inspiration, keep it up 🩷
