You've got the units wrong on your Ozempic doses. It's mg, not ml, so you're on the 2mg weekly dose which is the max dose (Ozempic Inj 8mg/3ml). You'd be overdosing if it was 2ml
Don't need to be a medical doctor. It's just really important to know what medications you're on and at what dose. If you had a medical emergency and needed to tell medics what you're currently using, you'd have given them bad information.
Just wanted to say: first off, congrats on making all the effort. Seriously. Even if the results aren't quite what you want effort is going to be the make or break for your goals.
I can't recommend weightlifting enough, which may seem counterintuitive since it builds muscle and you're trying to lose weight.
The thing is that muscle is lean, and a pound of muscle is going to look a lot different on your body than a pound of fat. Your body also needs to use more energy to maintain it - having more muscle means you have a higher BMR, so as long as you're lifting weights you can eat more without looking fatter.
Thanks for sharing and congratulations.
If you're still hungry, it means your dosage is still a little low. You're on Metformin too right?
I think if you limit your thoughts like that, you're kinda limiting the scope of your success. Your dosage is tiny and so you're yet to see just how much of an opportunity these drugs can provide. Once the hunger pangs are managed, you'll have the ability to be in the driving seat and everything will change.
