I found that MJ gave me some sort of energy! Which was weird as I didn't move far from the sofa beforehand. So yes, I exercise - spin a couple of times a week, swimming twice a week, I walk a couple of times a week looking all weird in my weighted vest and I'm considering adding in some basic weights as I'm aware that preserving muscle mass is really important
No side effects really tbh. My fear is feeling sick so that's the main reason I've never gone up to 5mg. I do sometimes jab on day 5 or 6 of the week though - so I'm probably increasing my dose a little in that way if that makes sense
You don't need electrolytes or collagen or anything like that - unless you want to of course.
My best tip would be to look at your weight loss over a 30 day period. If you respond like most people do (and I know people in real life close to me doing this and bizarrely we are all following such a similar pattern) you'll end up losing a decent chunk every month
That really helps me when I have a fortnight of no movement. I have lost 10-12 lbs every single month without fail no matter what stalling has gone on previously
And my second best tip would be to just trust the process. Honestly, you'll do so well. Because I was unfit with higher cholesterol than it should be, high blood pressure, my knees were twinging and I had zero energy. I'm also deep in peri menopause which I was obvs blaming for my lack of weight loss
Ive gone from 14 st 12 to 10 stone 11 now and I'm about a stone away from my goal weight.
The challenge comes when I have to attempt to maintain but I'm really using this time to cement in some positive habits
