Weight History

Start Weight

235.0 lb

Lost so far: 53.8 lb

Current Weight

181.2 lb
Performance: losing 2.8 lb a week

Goal Weight

175.0 lb

Still to go: 6.2 lb

I have been overweight most of my life. I have tried practically everything to lose the weight, including gastric bypass surgery.

I am currently on Mounjaro 15.0 weight loss/diabetic injection and a 1200 calorie daily exchange diet. I am 62 years old and refuse to give up completely. I want to be as healthy as I can for as long as I can. I go to TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) meetings once a week for support. I also exercise with the Silver Sneakers program.

Wish me the best of luck. I will try to be supportive to all of you.

Trulicity i lost 3.5 lbs in 4 weeks.
Hi dannoci - I have been on Trulicity for a year now. It helped me control my blood sugar and I lost a little weight too. I hope next week to start Mounjaro and created a new group for Mounjaro users. Please join if you want to. I have to stop Trulicity because the savings card is only good for 1 year. Good luck to you!

Are there any other diabetics out there?
I am diabetic - I definitely do better when I am dieting. How are you making it?

How to eat right
http://www.frugalabundance.com/health-diet/how-to-get-the-most-nutrition-for-the-least-cash/ is a link that you might read if you have time. I also want better diet/nutrition/weight loss for less money. Fruit and yogurt were good choices and at least you knew that. Some of the diet frozen dinners aren't that bad in taste and value. Keep reading and searching. I wish you the best of luck. Smile

Unfortunate aspect of Fat Secret's "My Cook Book" section
I do like the cookbook because it calculates the macros per serving of my recipes. I wish FatSecret would update it though.

Unfortunate aspect of Fat Secret's "My Cook Book" section
I have this same complaint. Also I don't understand what it takes to be "published". My favorite easy helpful recipe is not published.
