Can I ask how many calories you eat on a glp 1?

Just curious. I’m also on my own non glp1 weight journey. No judgement around it whatsoever. Please can you disclose how many calories you consume. My issue is that I genuinely just eat out of boredom and having not made good choices post motherhood. I’ve lost 15 pounds very slowly. But I have made some good changes. Ie getting ready (bit of lippy) and walking to the local coffee shop instead of eating a packet of biscuits in front of the telly when bored.

Just seen a lot of friends who have always struggled with weight and had issues like pcos and thyroid issues lose weight very effectively. I can definitely keep to a deficit.

1000-1200 for me. I have lost just over 8st and am on 7.5mg MJ. Trying not to go up higher because of cost and in the hope that I can maintain at a lower dose long term.
It is hard-going, and I still have just over 3st to go. I am only 5ft 1 so I am aware I will likely need to drop calories further soon which I am dreading.

Also 800-1000. I don’t feel lightheaded at all. Drinking loads of water.

Well done. Did you feel light headed when eating 800? I think I possibly would. I’m aiming for 1300 whilst being moderately active.

No, i made sure to keep my fluid intake high, and blood sugars up with drinks that had a sugar value not artifical sweeteners, and consistently take electrolytes and managed ok.

800-1000. Now i have 1500 a day and regularly attend the gym. Lost over 8 stone whist on them in a year, i went up to 15mg, i stayed on 5mg for about 4 months planning to stay on that dose long term, but stopped when the prices rocketed last august. I gained 0.5 stone back but now maintain at 8st give or take a few lb normal monthly fluctuations.
