Summary

I didn’t bother to save my weight history from the ao before it got canned. I started making an effort to drop some weight in late 2018 when I hit 206. Was between 180-185 for most of 2020. I’d look best around 160, but I am not willing yet to make the concessions on diet and exercise to get there. I like to eat well and I know what it takes to get me to 160. I think 170ish is a good goal for now.

Highest adult weight was 235 and lowest was 160. Both were over 20 years ago. I’m 5’11"

I had gotten out of the habit of the weekly weigh in since the ao died, so starting over.

Not a good week for exercise. I normally do a lot of walking, but it’s been heat stroke levels of temp now with air quality warnings here. Also not the best for drinking, as some get togethers with friends for soccer watching has meant I had more beer than usual.

Mid-week, just hit an all-time low:

6/12/24: 146.4
6/19/24: 147.8
6/26/24: 148.8
7/2/24: 145.6

On the negative side, I learned I have a moderate vitamin D deficiency. Here I thought I was getting early-onset arthritis or something with bone/muscle pain in my hands, but turns out that IBD causes malabsorption of nutrients - which I knew - but I wasn’t getting enough D3 which causes the muscle/bone pain symptoms. It reminded me how much my IBD probably contributes to my easy weight loss. That said, I’d gain 50 pounds today to not have IBD. The significant weight drop today is because I dared to eat kale yesterday. Didn’t stick around long.

Already started on supplements for the vitamin deficiency.

That’s huge progress in June. Doing something different? Get sick? -9 pounds in a month is a lot but if you’re being healthy, well, it can happen.

Ah, gotcha. I know little about that. Is it to be taken permanently to keep weight off, or is it something you can do for 12 months and quit and expect to keep the weight off?

Also curious if it mostly restricts your appetite/other craving thoughts, or if it does something physiologically to burn more fat.

I’ve done zero research into these things.

There are different schools of thought on maintenance. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to fully be off it and maintain a healthy weight, but my doctor and I haven’t gotten to that part of the conversation yet. Some people are able to titrate down and eventually go off and maintain, and others end up quickly gaining it back and are on a maintenance dose, which is often lower than a therapeutic dose and less frequent than weekly.

It works in two ways. One, it turns off “food noise” in the brain (and many people notice other addictive behaviors are curbed, such as drinking, compulsive habits, etc), making losing weight less work because you’re not constantly having to outsmart your brain.

Two, it slows your digestion, so food remains in your stomach longer and you get and feel full longer.

It’s not “easy” weight loss, I still have to be very conscious with my eating and make healthful decisions with every meal, but I imagine that this is what people who never have struggled with their weight feel every day. It’s not constantly hard AF.

I’ll also add that these drugs increase the insulin the body releases after eating, which is why they were originally used for diabetes. I have PCOS and insulin resistance, so that has been extremely helpful, as it’s very difficult for people with PCOS to lose weight. I don’t know how the insulin thing ties into the two things I mentioned above, and I dunno, maybe it’s its own third thing.

was at an even 165 again yesterday. so June ended and had 4th of july events (light schedule but still) and the weight remains.

i have not been lifting or doing enough other activity. when things get busy, I fall into “run only” mode. that said, i am running 25-35 miles a week pretty regularly since feb. if I can mix in even a little other exercise i can drop a little more and hold it there.

i bought some new pants and retired some older pairs that had way too much room in the waist.
