The weight loss thread

OVERALL STATS:
Start 2023: 106.5 kg
Start 2024: 81.3 kg
End Jan: 80.8 kg (-0.5 kg)
End Feb: 79.6 kg (-1.2 kg)

Overall pretty stable weight wise now. On any given day it can vary between 73/74 kg depending on what I ate the previous day. Really impressed with myself that I managed to lose 32 kg in total and still keeping them off. Officially a size 34 now, although my odd build means they are quite tight around the thighs, but waist is perfect.
 
Been a while since I posted since weight is not budging below 91. I have been just doing minimal exercise & not very strict on diet for past 2 months so just glad I haven't increased weight. It has been too cold but got 1 hour of exercise session yesterday and resolved to a bit strict on diet from today.

Hoping to see some movement within a month, if I stick to the plan. :cool:

Weight is not budging yet and that is mainly because of eating late in the night. At least it is not going past 91kg so I take it as a win.
 
Just barely manage to squeeze in below 73 kg.

@Crusader How do you manage your diet?

Basically eating as normal. I was lucky enough that I didn't have to make major changes to my diet, but needed to be more active. I have one large meal a day in the afternoons and perhaps a light snack at 7PM if I feel like it. The major thing I cut out was eating party bags of Doritos over weekends.

Since I've started running I can pretty much each anything now without having to worry too much about it.

Been seeing more and more of these GLP-1 and to br honest I have to get in. My weight is causing health issues and type 2 diabetes is probably waiting for me around the corner.

Just go for it.

It is worth the cost, it is an absolute game changer.
 
read up on semaglutide - yoh, it is an injection. I hope it doesn't come to me injecting self. :sick:

I was on this for a while (very low dosage TBH). It works to some extent but it dome come with side effects and for the first day or 2 I felt really rbbish.

The injection really is nothing. The needle is so thin you hardly know about it. Also note, its expensive AF

Oh ok. I will do anything to avoid costly interventions in weight loss. I have plateaued for nearly 2 months but I know what needs to be done. I just need to have discipline that I had for first 6 months of weight loss. :)

Googling "ozempic cost south africa" gives me this as top result. :notworthy:

One injection pen of Ozempic costs between R1200 – R1500 and can last an individual anywhere between one – eight weeks depending on their dose (10). It is important to note, the above studies proving the efficacy of the drug were conducted using a high dose of 2.4mg, with less efficacy seen on lower doses (4,6).
