[IReallyNeedThisToWork]

Still here for thread 4! A place to record what you’re eating, get ideas, chat about food and stay accountable. New starters, long timers and those in maintenance all welcome.

Sharing and support not judgement!

Is the 7.5mg working well for you @IReallyNeedThisToWork? I have a lot of food noise at the moment. I think all my sugar receptors have been unregulated over Christmas 😢

E: cycled to work

@Incognitoburrito88 only the first day but I would say yes so far. No food noise and am absolutely stuffed 3 hours after a stirfry of chicken and veg. Ditto to the sugar receptors being disrupted over Christmas and I’m up 7lbs from my happy place. I reckon I could possibly have stuck with the 5 and powered on but I’m drinking too much as well and that has to stop!

Back doing this because found it helped me make better choices last time 🙂 gained 2lb over christmas but all off now
