My Wegovy Journal

I've signed up for a "run/walk as far as you can" event in September, and I'm also hoping to find a 5K race sometime this fall. If that doesn't work out, my goal is to run my first 5K in the spring, which feels very achievable. And my big dream? To run a half marathon. That one feels a little more ambitious, but there's no harm in dreaming.

Today is day two of the food noise returning, and suddenly I miss Wegovy.

That said, I’ve actually been doing really well today with healthy, low-calorie eating and I even had room for a little ice cream with my son now that the summer weather has finally arrived!

I bought some new pants that actually fit and went for a walk around the city. I feel really confident and also surprised every time I catch my reflection in a window. My legs look long and slim, and my stomach is nice and relatively flat. On top of that, my husband and I have been a lot more active in the bedroom lately and I can definitely see why.

I’ve hit my next milestone of getting my BMI below 26. It’s hard to believe I’m this close to reaching a normal BMI, and even more surprising that my weight is still dropping on a lower dose. Next week, I’ll reduce it even further as I plan to buy what I hope will be my final Wegovy pen.

Oh wow! My husband quit gaming cold turkey, and suddenly I’m getting more love and attention than ever! I’m absolutely enjoying it, but we might need to be a little careful so we don’t end up with a surprise baby! It’s not the right time… yet!

I took my last 1.0 mg dose last Friday, and I’m honestly a bit nervous about stopping the medication. I’m worried that I might gain the weight back. It’s somewhat reassuring though to know that I can get a prescription again after my next pregnancy, even without having a BMI over 30.

Is this a good idea?

On top of that, he’s developed a grade 1 bedsore from sitting in his gaming chair for too long. I want to support him, but I’m struggling myself and barely managing to stay afloat.

I’ve lost a total of 20 kg and feel really proud of myself. Yet, I still sometimes see myself as the heavier woman I used to be. It hits me, for instance, when coworkers make fat jokes around me without batting an eye. It reminds me that they don’t see me as obese. I guess I have to adjust to a world that’s less inclusive as I get closer to a normal BMI.

If my weight hasn’t changed in a month, I’ll discuss with my doctor the possibility of increasing my dose to 1.7 mg. I’m not ready to accept my current weight and feel I haven’t finished losing yet. My goal is to reach a BMI under 25, which means I still have about 12 kg to go.

I’ve been loving it and feel so happy to see him putting in the effort. Today, he even asked me out to dinner on Valentine’s Day. For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful.

My weight loss has stalled at around 88 kg, and I feel a little disheartened. While I don’t wish to increase my dose, I do still want to achieve further results and bring my BMI below 25 so that I’m in a healthy weight range before trying to conceive again.

I’ve lost 16 kg (35 lbs) in 23 weeks, which comes out to about 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs)per week. That’s actually pretty great!

I’m currently down with a stomach virus, so I had to skip my shot yesterday. The weight has been dropping quickly lately because I can’t keep much food down. Right now, my BMI is around 28, and I’ve reached another milestone. I’m finally under 90 kg. I can’t believe how far I’ve come.

I’ve been stuck around 95 kg (209.4 lbs) for the past three weeks, so it’s great to finally see some progress again! I’ve also hit my second goal of getting my BMI below 30. I’m no longer in the obese range, just overweight now! That’s fantastic news. Next goal: under 90 kg (198.4 lbs)!

I’ve finally lost my first 10 kg (22 lbs), and it feels incredible! After years of struggling to shed weight, this is a huge milestone for me.
