hi guys welcome back to my channel how are you all doing um I'm in a great mood today I am feeling so happy and I've got all of you to thank for that um after my recent video just sort of telling you that I had been on mjara for a few weeks I've had so much love and kindness and support honestly I'm like completely overwhelmed by it I am so pleased that I did put that video up and that I'm not going to sort of like record my journey here with you all um so many
of you feel the same as I feel um lots of you are thinking about um starting on a glp1 or know somebody that you think May benefit from it so it's just like so nice to hear that we're able to like open a discussion about it so um yeah thank you so much I'm like honestly today I feel like a we has been lifted off my shoulders it's been sat there i' filmed it a week in advance and then I was waiting in waiting and i' i' said to myself that it had to be uploaded
by Sunday evening it's just so important that we talk about it isn't it but anyway hello if you're new and you're wondering what on Earth I'm talking about who I am and my name is Maria I'm 53 and it is now four weeks that I have been on my glp1 journey I um started with munaro on the 21st of May so I thought I'd come on today and do a a four- week update so like my first four weeks kind of summary really and then moving forward from here I'll just start doing weekly updates and
weigh-ins and everything and then um yeah it's just it's going to be so exciting I think there's so much content I can create with this for and sort of share my experiences the things I'm finding out about it um just all sorts of stuff like that any questions that you've got lots of you had questions already so I am going to address those in another video but yeah just I'm trying to talk about it get it out there and yeah we don't need to hide away or feel like we're doing something wrong it's just it's
an incredible new medication I am so thrilled with the results so far so yeah today we're going to do the 4we recap um I was I don't even know what I'm thinking about I'm like my brain's buzzing so yeah 21st of May was my very first injection but I've been thinking about it quite a bit prior to that leading up to it I was away in Scotland when I placed my order I placed the night before I was due to travel home so I would be at home to receive the parcel because it is like
a refrigerated item it comes down through the Cod chain um and this was my first box it's now finished so you get one pen in here which lasts four doses I will show you in another video how that works how to use it um I was absolutely not terrified that's the wrong word I was so nervous to inject myself and bear in mind that um up until last May when I retired I I'd been a nurse I have injected thousands of people in my time and yet it's very different to inject it on yourself but
um honestly it was so easy pain free I actually filmed myself just before I did it and then just after it because I was originally going to start a vlog well sort of keeping like a video diary and then I just I just didn't do it um but I think I've still got that footage so if I have I'm going to pop it in here somewhere in this video because I just need to go back and look at it CU I think I was a nervous wreck it's it's a real thing isn't it injecting a
drug into yourself but um I'm so pleased I did I'm so pleased I started this journey and I'm really really pleased that I'm sharing it with all of you so if you have got any questions along the way honestly drop any of them just down in the comments section down below if you don't feel comfortable asking like openly because I know I've had a few private messages about people that are either on it or thinking about going on it but don't want other people to know um I completely understand so if you have got some
questions honestly just message me over on Instagram and I will get back to you I promise I am doing my best to answer every single question on here but there are some um like common questions that keep coming up so yeah I will address those common questions in another video so yeah today was my four week weighin and it has oh honestly it's it's incredible I just can't it's a complete Game Cher I feel like this is just going to really just turn everything around and get me back to how I was and I'm just
feeling so happy what I'm going to do in this video today I'll let you know um each date that I Wai in so I weigh in every day every week on a Tuesday I'll let you know what my starting weight was um in like stones and pounds also just pounds in case there are any American viewers I hope they is anyone from America say hi and and I'll also share my BMI and then with each weekly weighing I'll let you sort of know the new figures for that and where I'm at and then I'll bring
you up to today um my injection days um so my first injection was a Tuesday I've now changed that to a Sunday I'll explain why as we go through like the week by week and what my process was and why I did that um so yeah oh I don't know where to start I I have actually filmed this once and it ended up being a 50-minute video cuz I'd gone through each day and told you all the symptoms for each day which is actually nobody needs all that now and it' be easy as I say
going week by week from now on um so yeah I'll be back next Tuesday with my next weekly weighin and um sort of summary from the week and then also though I think on the 21st of each month I'm going to do like a monthly recap but in those videos rather than just talking about like side effects and things I don't want to do that I'd rather we can do um have a look at photos so we've got like a visual change we can look at the photos I've got a Remo um scales and apps
so we can look at how like body fat and things like that are changing and we can do some measurements as well so if you like non-scale victories also quite a way back ago I'd filmed um or taken a couple of photos of some things that didn't fit me um so we can s of start trying those on as well or I might find new items of clothing that are a bit snug or W even fasten and then hopefully over the weeks I'll be able to get into those I'm already feeling like I don't know
if you can tell like with this blouse like everything is just starting to like un noticeably be big on me and that's like in four weeks it is crazy all right so um yeah I ordered my um it's it's an online pharmacy how I've got it from I will chat about this as I say in another video but you have to go through a load of questions you got to meet a lot of criteria um you do need to be obese so you know your BMI does need to be more than 30 and they they
look at everything and they'll sort of work out whether you are eligible for it whether there's any concerns or anything safety concerns um I've said yes it can notify my GP you know absolutely and um there was several different doses so there was a 2.5 milligram 5 milligram 7.5 a 10 a 12.5 and a 15 so everybody starts off on the 2.5 which is what this is here this is a little quick pen so yeah this has got your four does in and um everyone starts on that and it's just a very low dose just
to get your body used to the drug if you're going too high too fast you more than likely going to experience an awful lot of like really unpleasant side effects and yeah we're just not about that life so yeah every single person that starts starts on the lowest dose um if an injection once a week um do that for four weeks if yourself absolutely fine not having any awful side effects uh and then you can like oh if you're not having like if you're still feeling really hungry and and stuff like that then you're going
to move up to the next dose and you just keep moving up every four weeks until you reach like a dose that you think is working perfectly for you where that you're not getting hungry you're losing weight um you know all of these things are all sort of tying nice not having any awful side effects you can stay on one of the doses for more than like the four weeks if you want to stay on for 8 weeks 12 weeks you can just like need to discuss it with your prescriber and um yeah it's just
very sort of T you know is tailored to you how your symptoms are your side effects and things so yeah I started on the 2.5 milligram it arrived on the Tuesday morning or so Tuesday lunch time when I got back from Scotland and in my head originally I thought I was either going to give it to myself on on the Friday or the or the Sunday after that because my grandson was going to be coming on the Friday and I thought oh what happens if I'm ply with it and what happens you know if I
have all these horrible side effects I don't want to be poly when I'm looking after him and so yeah and I joined a few Facebook groups as well like like little private groups as like a bit of a support Community really just it can feel a little bit isolating first and you are I think you can be quite worried that people are going to judge you so on there it's great apart from most people that are going to be posting are people that having all these horrible symptoms and so you're like oh gosh is this
is what's going to happen to me anyway I decided long story short just to go for it it had arrived at the lunchtime put it in my fridge and I thought oh what's the point of waiting nearly another week when I could actually just get it injected now it's going to start working going to see how I am um plus I um at the end of June I've got a like a w wedding to go to so I'm away for three nights like the night before the night of the wedding and the night after it's
one of my really close friends from school and so she she's having a lovely big wedding all of us girls are going and and partners as well so I'm really looking forward to that so I was a bit thought let's just get it done thought oh I might be able to lose a bit of weight before the wedding as well I'll be feeling happier myself so I went ahead and gave myself the injection on Tuesday the 21st to May if I have got any footage I'll pop it in here now okay so if I haven't
got any then it doesn't really matter we'll just carry on talking but oh my gosh I was so nervous anyway it didn't hurt I did it in my tummy and um and that was that so I was sat there I just remember the first evening um after i' had it done I sat watching TV and I thought ooh do I feel okay and I think I was waiting for this like big rush of side effects and I was like o do I do I feel hungry oh I don't know it was really weird I was
really overthinking it apparently I think this is quite a common thing anyway that was fine had um husband brought me through like a little glass of wine that night and I was just like oh I actually don't think I want it and that was like the first little indication about o is this maybe working so generally my first week was fairly uneventful um rather than going through day by day like which I did in take one of this video I'm going to just kind of su eyes really so it kind of work on throughout the
first week I would say I had a couple of mild headaches normally on waking and it would usually only last maybe half an hour or an hour one day I took some paracetamol um other times it was drinking and I do think I was probably a little bit dehydrated um for three the first three nights I was up about every half hour weeing like mad and but they do recommend that you drink a lot of fluids while on like a glp1 medication so um yeah I certainly needed to work on that in the first week
so yeah I had uh a bit of like a headache hunger I think for the first sort of couple of days it felt normal but I did notice I was getting Fuller a bit quicker and then from like the Thursday onwards my Hunger was reducing down which was really really good on the Friday when we picked up my grandson and we went over to um like the wh Friday marches which was up around sorth and on the auction malls um it's a great day out and I literally want had nothing to eat all day through
the day I just wasn't hungry and we're at a pub and um husband and Grandson had some crisps and things as well like do you want some crisps I was like no I I don't I just literally was not hungry and I did have a couple of lering limes was a bit worried about it because I've read a lot of things again online and you know but I was absolutely fine no um detrimental effect of at all so that was really really good um that day when we came back actually we stopped at McDonald's cuz
it took us nearly two hours to get home cuz there's loads of road closures because of the the marches you know for the band contest and so it took absolutely ages to get back and I with a four-year-old grandson went to McDonald's for our tea which was still about half 7 at night and had nothing to eat all day wasn't overly hungry and I just got um I got a chicken Legends three strips meal I Med meal I ate I thought well it's chicken at the end of the day it's chicken breast so I ate
the chicken and couldn't eat the chips and then had a little bit of the drink so my husband finished off my chips for me and I was absolutely stuffed all night I was just so full and so I'm looking down here I've got like a little diary with all my symptoms I been writing them down and taking notes cuz I knew I'd want to talk about it in a video um really apart from that I I felt quite bloated at times um weing a lot for the first few nights and um another thing I've had
and I've had this actually throughout is that I'll have every few days I'll feel really really cold to the point where like I'll have like my fleece on when I'm watching tell and I'm still frozen and again that seems to be quite a common side effect and sort of chatting to other people who are on this medication as well so yeah nothing particularly weird or awful I didn't have any nausea I didn't have any vomiting I didn't have any diarrhea anything like that at all and some people talk about sulfur burps which is meant to
be like eggy burps none of that thank God cuz they sound horrible and so yeah all in all pretty good um just looking here there's nothing really more particularly to comment there about that first week apart from the day before it's like on the Monday so like day seven um again I had a little bit of a headache um and I woke up and I was starving I was so hungry but I had something to eat and literally it's the weirdest thing just you feel ra sometimes you can feel ravenous and then you'll start to
eat and then you get full like really quick and you might have only eaten like a third of your food and you're absolutely stuffed and you feel like you've had like a huge um Christmas dinner and you can't eat anything else so not only you trying to like eat it but your brain saying no I'm full and you feel really full as well so it's so clever it is so so clever um so yeah that was the first week pretty uneventful no constipation diarrhea as I say nausea vomiting anything like that just a couple of
headaches felt a bit cold bit of bloting nothing and definitely noticed that my portions were getting smaller um I was just going to say something to them oh yeah so yeah apart from like making sure that you drink plenty of water it's also really really important that you eat lots of protein um I've still got my Weight Watchers app and I've switched it they've got a glp1 program on it which is amazing so I've switched it and it changes your whole dashboard if you want a video on that I will probably do it anyway um
let me know but it has made tracking absolutely fantastic I bluming love it so I'm tracking on there but I'm also tracking on my fitness pal because um I've noticed it's very easy to have very low calories especially when you're trying to like eat well not have too like too many pro processed foods and things like that so I'm just keeping an eye on my calories and if I think they're a bit too low I'm trying to think of smart ways to get a few extra calories in like what a problem to have is just
like crackers so yeah that was the end of week one fairly uneventful so choose oh so you need to know my weight I was just going to crack on with the next week so yeah so my starting weight um so on the 21st of May I got weighed and I weighed in at 13 stone 12.8 so it's literally 1 .2 away from the 14 Stone and that's what's really pushed me and and triggered me into um wanting to do something else and I did chat about of all this in the other video as well so
I'm not going to go over all of that again about Back stories and what I've done in the past but yeah I really did not want to reach 14 Stone like a new stone bracket it was just like no so I was 13 stone 12.8 which is 94.8 um and my BMI was 32.4 so I was like smack bang in the middle of the obese category obviously once you reach 35 um you then go into morbidly obese and that's when it really can start knocking years off your life you know so it's that it can
have real sort of bad effects on your whole body um in so many ways so yeah we're not about that we're just about trying to be proactive and bring it down so week one in the bag few little changes nothing Dreadful and I jumped on the scales on the 20 of May and I weighed 13 Stones 7.4 which means i' lost 5.4 in my first week which was like I'm so happy like what a great loss I was really really delighted um I know a lot of it was probably like water weight and things but
even so it's just really it's a real boost just to see the scales come down so that was 89.4 and that took my BMI down to 31.5 from 32.4 so i' nearly knocked like a point of my BMI so really happy still in the OB Beast category but definitely making a good move forward so um I decided yet at lunchtime it was half 1 on the Tuesday I thought right let's get this injection in I've been a bit hungry the day before I thought rather than wait until later in the day let's just get it
done so um I did it in another part of my tummy from the week before now after injecting that day I actually did have a headache for most of the day but I do think I was probably dehydrated again see I don't go anywhere now without my water you get such a dry mouth well I do um I do get like really thirsty and so I know that I need to concentrate a bit more as well my hydration so yeah I had a headache but I had drank vir one of these um in the afternoon
and then it virtually went away i' had some paraco which haven't really touched it so I do think I was probably dehydrated um the night before though my injection had had a um a really bad sleep so I was probably a bit tired and dehydrated um I was really hungry on that first day of like um day one of week two really really hungry but um I ate a good sized dinner that evening but then for the rest of the evening I was just like I felt so full and um the next couple of days
I just felt like a tiny bit hungry um not starving but just I was aware that was a bit hungry and it is actually is okay to feel hungry on this you're meant to feel hungry um you need to still respond to those cues but what will change is how much food it takes to satisfy that hunger So Hunger is fine it's some people I think um looking at the groups think that they shouldn't feel hungry at all you definitely still need to feel hungry you need to recognize those cues that's your body telling you
you need some fuel So Hunger is fine but I don't want to be starving in ravenous if I'm starving and ravenous it ain't working and if I'm craving things it ain't working oh talking of craving things as well what I did notice um vers straight away in week one was um you know how I come a bit of a nighttime munch I do love like my little snacky plates and um treats and things on an evening um literally nothing I didn't even even think about snacks um I didn't want anything I just couldn't even think
about eating after my evening meal I was like that was me I was done and I just have my drinks and um I've been having some chocolate protein shakes on an evening about 9:00 halfast 9 um so number one it's a good way of getting a few extra calories in also a good way I can get an extra like 20 grams of protein in which is really good and I just have it in a glass with a load of ice I've got a glass straw and yeah I literally get the chocolate ones from Aldi um
and they are delicious and they're only 79p and they're just they're so yum they've got lots of different flavors and things as well but I really like the chocolate one and I think the brand is cowbell but it's from Aldi and the 79p ones and they're in the fridge and um they last quite a few weeks in the fridge so um yeah I recommend if you if you're doing this or you're wanting a way to just get some protein shakes that aren't going to cost you the Earth then they're quite a good one so yeah
I have them in a night and it feels really indulgent I can't always um I don't have them every night sometimes I just can't face it but I have them most nights and and I saw I read a bit of research actually really interesting was it a research or an article or something and it was saying that cuz I thought oh is it all right having protein shakes this late at night so I started looking into it and there's a lot of um people think that actually yes it's really good because obviously muscles repairing things
whilst you're sleeping so your body's got that extra protein there to work on um plus you're more likely to wake in the morning feeling um satisfied and less hungry because you've had all that protein overnight now mine's probably still sat in my belly because um with all glp ones it slows down gastric emptying so who knows but I have it at night and it is a nice little like chocolatey treat but that's not bad for me so yeah I just thought I'd let you know that bit and yeah so moving on the main thing for
the first few days of week two was that I was I had a slight bit of hunger nothing massive and I was thirsty but I had no other side effects in the first half of that week no headaches no nausea nothing at all um and then on a Friday a bit weird I had like a bit of like lower down tummy pain it felt a bit like a like period type pain and again a few of the girls in these groups have also me I've been asking questions about whether other people's per is been affected
so I don't know if that's an issue or not obviously um a bit older and I can't really um respond to that one but I certainly had like a gripey period type discomfort lasted a little while um and then it was gone and then over the weekend I had absolutely unbelievable um suppression of my Hunger like nothing no hunger pangs didn't feel hungry at all like zil and but I did have a couple of headaches over that weekend so um as I mentioned I was going to go I'm going to my friend's wedding at the
end of June so it's like a now as it is it's um it's going to I go away like the middle of next week um but sort of back then at the beginning of the month I was thinking like right I don't want to be doing my injection on the the Tuesday when I'm then traveling up to Scotland on the Thursday because all going well if the 2.5 had been suitable for me then I'd be moving up to the next strength dose I thought what happens if I then have some horrible side effects and then
I'm at the wedding and I just feel miserable and everything else so um I sort of looked into it and it's absolutely all right for me to um bring to like move my injection day and that's fine you've got to have at least I think it's like three or four days between your injections but that doesn't mean you can inject every three or four days but if you're wanting to change your injection day you have got the ability to do that and just move it forward so I thought rather than moving it from the Tuesday
to the Sunday I thought I'd just do it in stages whilst I was on the low dose so I thought what I could do for week three I just move it forward to the Monday instead of the Tuesday and then on week four I'd move it from the Monday to the Sunday so then I'm at my Sunday and it just gives me a little bit of leeway plus what I thought would be a really good thing then is well having it on a Sunday would mean um by the time you get to kind of Friday
Saturday like Friday Saturday um the levels in your body sort of drop off quite a bit it's got a f the half life on it is 5 days which mean well it's a bit scientific i w going to all that but basically then it should be any of the horrible side effects usually should be tailing off if you do get them which means like my Friday and Saturday night if I wanted to go out for a drink or a meal with Glenn I'm more likely to be able to go and be able to enjoy that
and still have like that bit of like normality we still need to be a to socialize and not feel like I can't eat I can't drink I can't do this I can't do that so yeah so that's why um you'll hear me now that my injection date has moved um if you're not sure it's best that you just discuss it with your um prescriber with the pharmacy and or your your doctor wherever you get it from and have a chat with them and they'll be able to guide you with that so yeah um I've kept
my way Days by the way still as Tuesdays so on Monday the 3rd of June I had my third injection of the 2.5 milligram so still on that starter dose that loading dose um I gave it early in the morning morning again I had a bit of a headache when I woke up that day and um but otherwise nothing particularly so yeah that was um the end of week two and so then I've got Wade again it's like becoming my favorite part of the week is getting Wade um so yeah 28th of May Tuesday the
28th jumped on the scales literally and I I weighed 13 stone and 7 point no never that was that was weak one than hang on I've done that one I yeah so week one I was 137 7.4 week two which was the fourth of June so excuse me ever so much I'm losing track of where I'm at have I done yeah I have done weat too gosh I'm talking that much I don't even know where I am I am literally going do l so yeah um so the end of week two um weighting results were
that on the 4th of June I waiting that 13 stone 4.8 which means that was another 2.6 off so that was 8 off in 2 weeks really really happy with that 86.8 and my BMI had come down to 31.1 so that's it's come from 32.4 down to 31.1 still obes but it's really all just going in the right direction so that's really really good um now week three for me personally was probably my toughest week actually um and so I've had my injection on the [Music] Monday so from Tuesday Wednesday so all day Tuesday all
day Wednesday in part of the Thursday I literally felt like had eaten like three Christmas dinners I was so uncomfortable I literally thought I couldn't even eat anything I thought I can't eat because if I eat something there's just literally no room um and on the Tuesday night I was all evening I was very very uncomfortable I literally just couldn't get settled and I was still awake like through to like 3:00 a.m. I had a really poor sleep that day and it was just terrible um on the Wednesday it continued on and all day long
I still felt like I was bloated I was full and I literally I didn't have any breakfast lunch I didn't want anything to eat so I just made myself a cup of soup so i' had something um and then I had the tiniest evening meal literally hardly anything I was just a yet a bit and I thought I just can't eat it um and again really bloed overnight in bed couldn't sleep and then I realized as hadn't been to the toilet for a couple of days so weather was like a little bit constipated as well
obviously the drug will be working and gastric empty and slowing down you your B everything just moves slower you know it all just go slow plus you're not eating the volumes of food that you were eating before as well um so it can be a challenge however I'd rather be a little bit bunged up then have like awful diarrhea which some people have had um I just for them I just I feel really bad for them so yeah Thursday I felt a little less full when I woke up so I had a bit of breakfast
not I think it was just like some like skier and berries and then I literally felt like I'd had a Christmas dinner again just back up to top um and then rest of the week um next couple of days I think the Poo fairy visited and then I started to feel a lot better I went out on the Friday night with Glenn just he wanted to go out and I thought you can't not live your life as well so I went out um I thought I normally drink cocktails when I go out but there was
like no way I was wanting all that Sugar um I was just really worried that it'd have like a bit of an adverse effect and especially cuz I felt so bloated and and bummed up and things so I had um I was drinking VOD CR and day at Kirk and I think my first drink I nursed it for about an hour I just literally couldn't drink it I thought wow I'm a cheap date but we had a really nice night I had a few drinks actually and then it just like things kind of settled down
and I don't know whether I was a little bit anxious as well and worried you know in case I was poly whil I was out and then I ended the night with one cocktail which I really enjoyed and we had a lovely night we were home before midnight but it was really lovely and I thought oh let's see how I wake up the next day am I going to be hung over I'm going to feel awful will I be sick will I be this no I was absolutely fine I had no headache I felt great
um ironically um we went for Costa later and after my Costa I felt really really nauseous so whether it was all the milk um or what I don't know but I just like I can't bear the thought of having the Coster again so that's out the window and I really enjoyed my Costas but I'm just not doing that I'm also not really enjoying my Cups of Tea anymore um well no that's a lie I I do a lot of the times I do but quite a few of the times and it just tastes really odd
you'll find that your tastes change quite a lot mostly for drinks I've noticed and whether that's just because I don't know even now I've got like a bit of a weird taste in my mouth um yeah so all okay for the rest of that week and then it was Sunday the 9th um obviously I've had my third injection on Monday the 3D so yes Sunday that week at the end of the week I gave myself my fourth injection and I thought that's me now I'm sorted on my new injection day and I'm going to I
plan to keep Sundays from now on as my injection day so it'll always be seven days in between Jabs so I think at the early days you never know how you're going to respond so if you work and then you've had say if you take your injections on the Sunday night but then for Monday and Tuesday you feel Dreadful and you're back at work well Sundays out you maybe a Friday night it's going to be better so that you're at home over the weekend and you can sort of you know so I think you really
need to work out how it's going to be you never know how you're going to react so I think just be kind to yourself if it's not working if you're feeling Dreadful and you notice a pattern then yeah just speak to your provider and then they'll be able to guide you about what to do how to shift your dose but it's um as long as you're not daed and you're not silly and you're not giving it every few you know a few days it's fine and so for me I thought just cut a day off
the week do it after 6 days instead of seven and then that's all I did and I just brought it back over the two weeks um so yeah I had the fourth injection again that's my last 2.5 milligram DSE and that was on Sunday the 9th all day long I felt absolutely fine but um late evening just before bed I felt a little bit nauseous not a lot and but just a little bit squiffy and then I went in bed and even in bed I thought oh I just feel a little bit not right but
um that was fine I slept okay and in the morning again I did feel a little bit nauseous then um what I have felt actually on and off which I haven't mentioned I've been AB did I mention it I've been cold and about maybe three times a week three four times a week I'll feel absolutely Frozen I'll be sat there watching telly I'll put my fleece on like is it cold Clen he's like no it's not it's you I'm like I'm Frozen I mean but let's be honest like the weather's been terrible I have been
contemplating putting the heating on in it's June I haven't put the heating on but I have thought about it it's not been nice here at all um there's like jokes isn't there going around at the moment that in Britain that June's been the warmest January on record it's just been terrible so yeah I felt a bit um bit cold food's tasting a bit weird bit bit tired actually um going into this week but um obviously Tuesday the 11th was we day so this was my third end of week three weighin so 11th of June I
got on the scales and considering I've been feeling so full and everything you know I just considering I've been so so uncomfortable you kind of feel in your head that you've overeaten and obviously you haven't but um I weigh in a 13 stone 2.4 which means I'd lost another 2.4 so that was a total of 10.4 in 3 weeks so 84.4 and my BMI had come down to 307 so getting closer and closer obviously once you get into like under 30 you're no longer obese you're just overweight and overweight sounds really good to me right
now I'd be happy to be overweight um so yeah that was 10.4 pounds off in three weeks I was like wow I'm like this is amazing and I think it's at this point that I I knew that I thought I am loving this I'm going to stick with this and it's then that I um film a video CU I just wanted to come on so I thought this is brilliant and I need to talk about it um and I'm so pleased I did so pleased so yeah going into week four I was hungry in week
four I'm not going to lie and it's one of these things that you have to um you have to order your next prescription and and get your drugs in ready for when you sort of going on to your fifth dose and the question always is isn't it is do you stay on the DSE that you're on currently or do you move up a dose and really I know I've sort of listed like side effects and things but they've been very mild you know I've not apart from those like two days have been really full that
was that wasn't very nice but um but I was still able to function I was still able to do things and but I haven't been on well at all I felt great actually I felt like I've had a real boost and I I feel my mood feels great I feel really upbe I feel so happy and um and I just thought yeah I feel ready to change up to move up a do so yeah I've sorted out my next prescription through my provider and um and it's at that point then yeah I filmed my my
intro video from a couple of days ago but yeah I filmed it over a week ago now um but yeah last week a bit of a weird week so I had actually quite a few symptoms and um there just a bit of a weird one so I had my jab on the Sunday and then through that week I've had a couple of headaches again but I've been getting a really really metallic taste in my mouth like just really not very pleasant um my else have I had again being cold on Wednesday last Wednesday I felt
really a bit Sicky after my um protein shake in the evening so I decided just to lay off it for a couple of nights and not have it and then I've been feeling a bit peckish but not really fancying anything like just there's nothing that I really want to eat that is appealing to me so like you can look at the food you think so it's almost like you don't get any joy out your food almost you know um I don't know I just couldn't find like fancy anything um I've had another um what was
it yeah just feeling hungry between meals feeling cold um hung you're hungry but then you eat hardly anything and you feel full so yeah am all is is fine absolutely fine so nothing really much other than I was very hungry people talk about um food noise and I never knew what that was until I was doing this and so um food noise is just basically when you're thinking about food and you don't realize you do it and I think I've actually all I've thought about for years and years is food subconsciously you're thinking oh what
can I have for lunch oh what will I have for tea oh I might go to the town and buy that we can eat that and um you sat watching tell oh I just you know that oh I just fancy some snacks so I'm going to go in and oh yeah I'm going to have some mini cheddar I'm going to have a chocolate bar I'm going to have this and it's just that constant thought of food and that is really silenced like I don't think about food at all it is so odd I was doing
the shopping in Tesco and literally virtually missed out like the the snack aises where the biscuits are the chocolate the crisps and things I literally turned down the aisle and I just walked straight through it I had to think oh Glenn might want some crisps but literally it didn't even enter my head till it is weird it is literally the weirdest thing um so yeah other than that rest of the we was not bad bit tired bit cold but nothing and hungry so I was really really ready for Sunday and my new dose the five
milligram dose and yeah I'm so pleased I had decided early to to go to increase the dose because if I'd have been on 2.5 for another month I just think I might have well I don't know I think yeah I think I might have struggled a little bit so yeah don't be scared of moving up so Sunday the 16th I had my fifth injection where's the time gone and it was a 5 milligrams I gave it in the afternoon and I had a little bit of a headache after it metallic taste again now that night
I was still really hungry cuz otherwi have been hungry all week so I took advantage and um made Curry I thought Glenn's going to love it be living off just I don't know I've not been cooking the same so we had I made a chicken curry I had a bit of rice and you know I just had smaller portions but I absolutely loved it no adverse side effects from spicy things also through the week i' had some um the week before actually i' had some fish and chips but I just had about 2/3 of a
battered fish and a couple of chips and I was full gave that to Glenn and I was actually fine with that but I've heard stories of people who have had vomiting nausea diarrhea after things like that I mean it's literally just like a oneoff really enjoyed it um I don't think it's anything i' rush to do again but I actually did enjoy that but yeah I was absolutely fine after that I was fine after my Curry felt a bit weird after my Costa um so yeah I had the injection on the Sunday now Sunday nights
was literally just two nights ago um from tea time onwards I just started to feel like really full again after the C I enjoyed the Cur didn't overate but then as the evening went on I just seemed to feel Fuller and Fuller and Fuller as if I'd had another meal but I hadn't and then um for the first time I started burping I hly had not like really loud burps but I was just like you know like under your your breath almost I had I was burping an awful lot I had like bring up a
lot of gas upwards not downwards um and that's the first time I've had burps maybe in the first couple of days maybe um and then I had a bit of an ache in my tummy so I'm wondering if it's just i' had rice and whether the spicy curry was sat there and that's what that was doing not sure but um following day I didn't have any adverse effects from it it was absolutely fine um I did have trouble sleeping after my 5 milligram jab and I think it just I felt a bit uncomfortable again so
yesterday I literally had that sensation again of just feeling stuffed all day um and I actually really struggled yesterday to eat I had some scrambled egg and toast at lunchtime and at the start of this in week one when I was having scrambled egg and toast um well I'd normally have like three eggs two slices of toast and I just can't do that now so now I have one slice of toast and two eggs and that will do me all day that's all I'll have and then I'll have my evening meal and then my protein
shake and that's literally kind of how my day is but I had that scrambled egg yesterday lunch and then literally I just couldn't eat after it I just felt stuffed again now that scrambled egg was like about 400 calories for everything all together and I was was messaging my sister because my sister knows um that I'm on this journey and i' she's been absolute amazing support to me and I think Glenn's just Glenn's really good but like all you kind of obsessed about it not obsess it but you just want to talk about it all
the time going oh this oh this is happening and yeah I become a bit I'm a bit of a bore at the moment I just I'm just talking about mjara because it's the only people I can talk to is my husband and my sister luckily my sister's a much better listener and she engages very well with me about it um so yeah I was telling her I was like I say I've only had this and I know I need to eat something but I literally cannot bear the thought of eating something so last night I
went and I bought some I've got like some protein bars so I thought I don't want it but at least it's not very big and it's going to get me another couple hundred calories in and it's going to um give me some more protein cuz I'm was really down on my protein yesterday I at it and I just was like I did not enjoy it I didn't have my protein [ __ ] last night there's no way oh I could um oh I'm yawning now it's all this talking I'm depleting myself of oxygen um but
yeah just there's no way I can drink that I had a bit of heartburn last night when I went to bed which is the first heartburn I've had so obviously I want a stronger D um and to whether maybe that is starting to kick in a little bit more I I don't know I imagine it probably is isn't it because I'm on double the strength to what I've been on for the last four weeks um slept pretty well though to be honest but a few more few times for some we but um other than that
not bad I took a couple of Ren's for my heartburn I need to just research that a little bit more but L got up at 1:00 in more I was like oh God I need to get some but I'll look into that a bit more and see what the best treatment is for heartburn indigestion sort of things when you're on the glp1 so I will research that and then I'll make sure that that's the right thing to do but yeah I took it and it settled I had a cup of tea and I went back
to bed and I slept fairly well so today it means it was we day so it was for the end of week four because today's Tuesday the 18th of June and so yeah obviously last week I was 13 2.4 and then 10.4 off so I was like oh gosh so I've got two little things that I'm wanting to aim for as my first mini girls one is that I want to get into the 12 stone so to get under 13 stone and the other one is obviously I want to lose a stone and St get
like my first stone off so and then also get my BMI under 30 so I've got three little mini girls that I'm aiming for right now so I got on the scales this morning and guys I could not believe it because now now I'm in the two Stone Club um I weighed I'm only just in it but I'm in it and I did check three times I think two or three times just to make sure the skills were right and they were and I we 12 stone 13.8 so I'm like0 two of a pound inside
um the 12 so I'm absolutely thrilled and so that was 2.6 off again which takes it to 13 off in four weeks it's like I'm so happy I am so happy and my BMI today is 30.3 oh all my so I've hit one out of my three mini girls so those other two and they're not far away for sure so yeah that um 12 13.8 is 81.8 if you're in the US um so that's like my first four weeks I'm feeling fine today I'm feeling full but I had my scrambled egg again today it's kind
of like my little goto if I'm if I miss my breakfast I need like a brunch um so I'm feeling okay I'm also taking some multivitamin gummies I'm taking them every day just to make sure I'm getting all my vitamins in that I need because obviously I'm in quite a at at times I'm in quite a big calorie deficit yesterday and that was the worst I've been I was like 600 calories which is way too low but you know I keep it honest and I just felt blur yesterday but typically I'm around about 1,00 1200
calories I try um I definitely aim to get it over 1,000 calories when you think before when I was doing like my calorie deficits and everything I was like at 800 calories and I could have probably carried on E if I was honest so the fact that like yes I was on 600 and this this drug is working obviously it's I've just had that boost of that new um new strength and things will start start to settle down again as my body adjusts to the new D so yeah that's my first four weeks I'm absolutely
thrilled I'm really really delighted oh my god I've been talking 48 minutes again how am I talking so long but at least in future my videoos going to be much much shorter um I am going to be doing monthly updates as well so I'm going to be back on the 21 and I'll be recapping month one because it be exactly a calendar month since my first injection but in those videos we're not going to be talking about my side effects and things like that what will be talking about our um well we're going to be
looking at photos so we be comparing photos side by side we will also be um doing measurements and I've got some rer scales which we got lot of statistics on and things like that so we can be looking at like my um hydration in my body like muscle mass um visceral fat subcutaneous fat all these numbers and see how they are and they've also got a metabolic age which was I was quite shocked at um so we'll be doing that on the monthly one and then after that here going forward on a Tuesday it will
be my weigh in with a brief Roundup of the week that has just gone by um I'm wondering whether to do like a vlog style like diary alongside with it or just maybe just do the odd day in between of like a a day in the life kind of thing and let you know what I'm eating how I'm feeling but um yeah that is it let's go before I hit 50 minutes gosh thank you so much for your love your support your friendship it means the absolute world if you haven't subscribed yet and you're still
