GLP-1 Agonists

How I lost weight (this time! I've lost more than 100 pounds twice in my life plus other smaller losses, so I know all about not keeping weight off). It was gradual over 2 years. Frist, I stopped snacking at work (I work from home). Then, once I was okay with not snacking, I stopped buying pizza, which I had been doing at least once a week if not more. Then once I was used to that I stopped eating fast food Monday-Friday at work. Then I started a home meal delivery service and only ate that meal, so calories became more restricted. I also now try to not eat anything with more than 3 grams of sugar per serving and try to stay away from empty carbs like pasta. I naturally do about a 24 hour fast so now I try to make it a point to only eat only between the hours of 5pm and 10pm. Saturdays and Sundays are "free" days when I go out with friends and family but I still try to be smart about my choices, with admittedly limited success. My problem right now is I've slipped back into eating more empty carbs, which I love. Eating more of them has brough back the cravings so it's an uphill battle right now. I was using a rowing machine but have muscle cramp issues based on chronic migraines and have been unable to continue that practice for now. Although weight loss is all about calories and smart choices. Right now, I'm not being so smart.

These are such great tips. I also work from home and find it really difficult to stop from snacking. I'm making a serious concerted effort to stop and ask myself "are you hungry or are you thirsty? What can we eat that will support your body if you're hungry?" It ain't easy though!


It sounds like you have put so much thought into mindfulness and what you're putting into your body and how it makes you feel. That's amazing! Bravo! As a lifetime lover of carbs, I get the struggle, but I hope you're giving yourself some grace when you find yourself leaning toward them. We can't be perfect all the time with our nutrition plans.

How have your migraines and muscle cramps been doing lately? Do you find that the cold weather helps alleviate them or does it seem to trigger them?

Thinking of you, Kayleigh, Team Member 💙

let me explain. I am a nurse. I hate to give myself shots to the point of getting anyone to give them to me. Therefore I would not be a very good candidate for any injectable medication. I can't even stick myself to check my blood sugar. Told my doctor that if she wanted me to check it I would need something non-invasive to do it with.

I hear you! I am not a nurse, but I am terrified of injecting myself. I am prediabetic and working hard to make sure I never need injectable medication. It's great motivation! Warmest of wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

Hi . I wish it had worked for you. I have heard such mixed reviews. Some people say it works wonders while others have had experiences similar to yours. Have you tried any other weight loss plans or medications that have been more effective? Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
