Hey everyone!
I'm on week three of 2.5, just took my third shot this morning, lost 6lbs in my first week then only 1lb last week.
My starting weight was 11st 7.5 and I'm aiming to get to around 58kgs, which is just above the weight that my PT recommend. I do have PCOS, pre diabetes and insulin resistance - so I'm hoping that shifting these extra pounds will help.
I've had no side effects at all really, other than tiredness but I'm usually feeling worn out anyway, I have really struggled to eat in the evenings, most days I can barely make it to 800 cals. I have very little appetite and even when I do eat I get this feeling of being completely full, like I couldn't possibly eat another bite.
I'm training in the gym 5 days out of 7 and trying to focus on lifting weights over cardio, as I'm aware of muscle loss. But I've been doing this for the past few years now so making time for the gym is just something that I plan into my weekly schedule.
My usual supplements are, biotin, collagen, vitamin D, magnesium, psyllium husk and I also have an electrolyte drink in the morning- I don't really like the taste so I add it to weak squash and it does the job of masking the flavour.
Initially I ordered a double pack of pens from Zava , one 2.5 and one 5.0 but I'm not sure I'll need to go up to the 5mg so soon, I'm considering buying another 2.5 but not sure where to go, ideally I'd like to find a supplier that will offer a maintenance dose as I've heard that some people with a BMI less than 30 are being rejected when they try to place a new order.
Good luck to anyone just starting out - honestly don't worry about injecting yourself it honestly doesn't hurt and is quite straightforward.
