Week 46 Weigh In!

Well, looks like I'm a little backed up with fiber this week! Throughout the week I was several pounds down, but on the weekend I was hungry so I ate a lot of raw roughage, and I think it's still with me. I'm sure it will be temporary! And of course, just another reminder that it's normal for bodies to fluctuate for various reasons. During the week I did weigh myself daily just to have an idea of what was happening and there was up to a 6lb spread between the highest and the lowest! So try not to worry if the scale isn't moving the way you'd like- you probably just caught it at the wrong moment.

I had planned to titrate my dose up a bit more slowly, but there was just a bit more than 0.5mg left in the pen and I didn't want either to waste it or to be doing clicks on a new pen if I didn't have to, so I just took it all :P  I had a bit of nausea during the week but no other side effects so I guess it was OK after all. Now I'm back to my previous normal dose, so I'll be staying here until further notice. I don't see the need to move up yet and I'd rather save the dose increases for when I am smaller, as the weight will inevitably be more difficult to lose.
