Soooo, yesterday was my fourth injection, but the beginning of week four. So this post looks back on the previous week. Let's be real people. No one lost weight this last week π On top of that I got my period for Christmas, so I have to give myself some grace. Someone once told me that both weight gain and weight loss don't happen over night and you can look at the results of either only two or three weeks later. I sincerely hope that's not entirely the case and I suddenly get a big whack of unexpected weight gain when I am back in the swing of things...
After the trifle is finished, obviously π€£π€£π€£π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
So this week was my last dose of 0.25 mg and next week I will move up to 0.5mg. To date, I have not experienced any unpleasant side effects, and lets hope it remains that way. So let's jump in and have a look at what the horrible scale and the measuring tape say:
Weight tracking:
Firstly, let's look at the scale, which was actually kind to me this week. I think this was due to hormones counting in my favor for a change as monthly water retention started to dissipate. I am actually expecting a gain in weight as I start getting back into a good exercise routine - which I have totally been avoiding over Christmas.
Body Measurements:
So I have no idea what is going on with my boobs π but I am pleased that my belly fat loss has been consistent! That is, of course, the most concerning place to carry weight, so I am pleased to see that coming down nicely!
In other news, I have actually dropped an entire dress size: from and 18 to a 16, and I was able to fit into a lovely dress I bought myself on sale a few months ago to wear at shows, but I couldn't get it past my upper arms and it was really uncomfortable. I wore it with absolute pride, feeling gorgeous on Christmas Eve :)
Also, one of my presents from @zakludick was a lovely red dress, also on sale and only available in a 16 and I rocked that on Christmas Day!
Double confirmation that all of this effort is paying off. Even in these early days!
Unfortunately, one can't really measure weight loss in the face except through photos, and I am definitely starting to look like myself again <3
