This is a no judgement zone! 😊 people can mind their own business. But I’m glad you’re talking about it and sharing this as a solution to help with weight loss. 😊
Yay for judgement-free zones! Seriously, I appreciate all of you for chiming in and letting me know you're there for me. Maybe my experience will help someone else who might be considering it but doesn't know anyone who is currently doing it? Maybe! Thanks again for watching. 💚🐝💚
I look so forward in following this part of your journey, I've seen & heard of a lot of ppl using this or something similar to help aid in their weightloss. Keep us updated and you got this! 💚
I literally just talked to my best friend, who also happens to be a Nurse Practitioner, about this! Eager to see how this works for you. Looking forward to updates!
Dude I'm eager too! I have high hopes but am also trying to brace myself for disappointment just in case anything compromises my little "journey" here. Thanks for supporting, friend! 🙂
Cool! Is she happier? I'm hoping to fit into my clothes better... amongst a lot of other things like getting off these blood pressure meds! Thanks for supporting! :)
I’m glad you get it! Can’t win, and certainly can’t please everyone. I’m the one who has to live in this body so I’m gonna try everything I can to get it into better condition. I wanna feel comfortable in my own skin again. And yes, opinions are just that! Haha, you cracked me up. 💚🐝
You already know I support whatever you decide to do for your health. I don't know that I'll ever get out of the overweight category but it's certainly an understandable goal. I won't say it'll never happen for me, I'll keep ya posted. 🤣 Sounds like the meds make you feel how I do on keto. No appetite and lots of water weight staying off. Let us know how it goes.
Misty! Thanks friend. Yeah I think my goal of getting under a 25 BMI is that that was a standard I had to meet in the military… so I feel like I need to get back to where I felt my best. Definitely keep me posted! The progress you’ve made just in a couple of years time is unbelievable. Cheering you on always! I remember feeling like that on keto too. Haha! Goodness, get those electrolytes day and night. 💚🐝
I’m also 5’5, my heaviest pregnancy weight was with my 2nd child at 199 lb which was cause by edema, I was back to 155 lb before I got pregnant with my 3rd child three months later. I only reached 175 lbs with my 3rd/last. All this to say that I started Semaglutide at 199 lbs many years after I had my kids, I can’t blame baby weight. 😮😂 My goal is 145 pounds, which seems like a pipe dream but for some reason I think this is going to be different . I just started week 2 and am down 5 pounds which I’m confident is water weight. I’m like you and not finding it difficult to not snack. The first week I had some heartburn and was occasionally lightheaded. Great idea about electrolytes, thanks! Here’s to the journey!
Oh I can’t blame baby weight neither! My son is 17 years old. Haha. I don’t think 145 lbs is a pipe dream; it’s totally possible! I’m excited for you to get there. I have my goal set at 150 lbs and really hope to get there! We can do this! 💚🐝
I also tried ozempic for about 10 months. I lost 25 lbs. I stopped taking it because I vomited so much. I hope you do well with it. Good luck. I have about 80 to lose and I’m still working away at it.
Oh no! What dose were you on that was causing vomiting? Or was it from even the lowest dose? Gosh that sucks. But I’ll still congratulate you on the 25lbs down! I just feel bad that you got so sick ☹️💚
I just started watching your vids after looking up reviews for the MOVE program through the VA. I was hoping to be approved for a weight loss med, but it seems like that program is more of what I already know and have already tried. How much do you pay for your injections?
@@TheycallmeMo1111 maybe it’s changed now that the medications have proven themselves effective. One veteran commented that they let him get on Zepbound. But you have to go through all the phases of the program to show you’ve tried everything. I enjoyed the program; I just didn’t like that the dietitian wouldn’t consider discussing the medications with us. She saw how excited we all got when one of us brought it up and it was a quick “Guys guys guys… whoa. Let’s refocus here. Those medications have tons of unknown and known side effects.” She kind of burst all of our bubbles. 😆 I pay $300 per 4ml vial.
@RisaBeesa Thanks for getting back. At my first appt w the primary Dr. I started talking to her abt weight loss. She started in on the advice that many of us have already tried throughout the years and that we already know, just bc it's basic common sense. She was overweight herself. I instantly felt annoyed and said ok let's get real dr. You know, and I know if it were that 'easy' to just stop eating this and that and exercise more, and lose enough weight, nobody would be overweight 🤭. She broke down and agreed lol. We all know there are risks involved in the injections. There are also risks involved in being overweight and taking all the other medications we are prescribed for the other issues that come with being overweight. I feel like, if there is a way to help ppl faster, and they are interested, allow them to make that decision. Sorry this is so long and thanks for the info.
@@TheycallmeMo1111 you’re 100% spot on. And I have zero regrets about getting on these medications. Some might say that I could’ve lost 25lbs just doing diet and exercise, but honestly I don’t think I could’ve because everything has changed over time. I’m 44 and not only are my hormones off but I had more stress in my life than ever before (elevated cortisol) and I couldn’t quiet the food noise. I sleep better now, and am in a better mood. I’m no longer destroying all of my pants due to thighs rubbing holes into the material. Life is better! 💚🐝
I have PCOS and a developing fatty liver. I do indulge myself once in a while and i do exercise as well although not regularly. Still I was shocked at the thought of having visceral fat knowing that I don’t eat junk food much. This has made my GP decide on prescribing me Semaglutide and although she wanted me to start with Metformin, I told her Met made me nauseous. The only unpleasant side effect of it was constipation but with regular water and fiber intake, i was able to regulate it somehow. Still, way better than any weight loss pills that make me palpitate.
Oh man, I’m so glad it’s helping you so far! Visceral fat is a scary thing and not something to take lightly, so I’m glad your doctor is actually doing something to help you. Did the Metformin cause stomach upset with you? And yeah, the constipation side effect still gets me every now and again. 😞
@@RisaBeesaI believe the weight loss process is slow if you don’t do a regular exercise routine. I do walk a lot at work though. Lol. I have not seen an amazing weight loss yet like what others claim in most RUclips videos. I don’t feel as bloated as before though and it really does stop you from craving further when you’re actually full with the help of Ozempic. I’d rather be patient with this than go back to Metformin as met made me really dizzy. I feel normal with Ozempic except for the occasional constipation on the first few weeks. I believe this has been resolved when i went up to 0.5 and my body has started to adjust to the drug. I mentally also feel a bit of calm and don’t get “hangry”. Good luck to you!
Oh the weight loss rate is slow for me no matter what, but the difference with taking semaglutide has been that the weight trend is downward pretty consistently (with some stalls). Best of luck to you to! I’m a bit over 20lbs down so far as of my last update. 💚🐝
Thanks for watching and for the feedback! I did change it up for future videos and stopped adding music, but for this one I’d literally have to edit to remove the music and then re-upload it as a new video… it’s just a hassle at this point so after getting everyone’s feedback I decided to skip adding music to all subsequent videos. 😊💚

Angel!! Omg long time no contact. How are you? Shoot, I hope my next update comes with some good news about progress. 💚🐝
Good luck Risa and I am cheering for your success!!! Sending lots of love and hugs❤️🥰🤗🤗
Thank you sweet Cheryl! That means a lot to me. Sending love and hugs right back! 💚🐝
You got this ❤
*Hugs* Sorai!
Awesome! One of my friends did that and looks fantastic! I am glad you are helping us learn more. I gotta do something, too. 😬
Cool! Is she happier? I'm hoping to fit into my clothes better... amongst a lot of other things like getting off these blood pressure meds! Thanks for supporting! :)
You’re so right, you can’t win, so you might as well do what feels good for you! Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.
I’m glad you get it! Can’t win, and certainly can’t please everyone. I’m the one who has to live in this body so I’m gonna try everything I can to get it into better condition. I wanna feel comfortable in my own skin again.

@@michellecloutier3778 I hope the same! I’m on 0.25 and still have two injections of that dose. I think my next dose is 0.5.
enjoyed watching, but didn’t like the loud music, it was annoying and I switched off. Also the giffs, no need just you is fine!!

This is the best comment! Ha ha. Yes sir, keep on peeing I shall! 🤣🤭
