update on my Journey

So it has has been just over two months. I am now on the 3.0 dose.
Tips if your reading this because your thinking of starting saxenda. Go up slower in dose then your doctor may tell you. When you go up a full dose you get more side effects.

It took me almost a full 2 months to get up to the 3.0 but I'm glad I did it that way. I didn't have many side effects at all.
So, for the most part, I have lost a steady 2 lbs per week. I know some people lose faster but because of my APS , Fibro, and bursitis its difficult for me to work out. I do what I can though. My Doctor told me it's actually really good to lose between 1 to 3 lbs a week. It allows your body to adjust easily and your less likely to put that all back on.
With that said I'm down 12 lbs. from the Saxenda and a total of 22 lbs since January.

So, all in all, I'm happy with how it's going. I did have one week where I didn't lose any. It was the week I hit 2.4 dose. My doctor said if I plateau I can drop back down to 1.8.

I have not checked my measurements yet but I think I will later this week because I'm sure I have lost more in inches that I have in weight. Right now My goal is still to get to a size 16... And from there we will see if i want or need to lose more. I only have a year on this with the discount card and then unless something in life changes I will not be able to afford my co-pay.
I am actually pretty blessed to have the copay I do. Most have it much higher or their insurance will not cover it at all. My co-pay is $200 but with the discount card it's 30.00

Well enough for now.....
