My Weight Loss Story:
When I graduated from university, I weighed 100 pounds. After working for two years, I quickly gained weight, reaching 120 pounds due to stress, overeating, and staying up late. The weight continued to climb to 130, and then 140 pounds. Despite eating less than normal, I couldn't lose weight.
Determined to lose weight, I lost 10 pounds after getting a gym membership and hiring a personal trainer for two or three months. Controlling my diet was painful and sometimes led to breakdowns.
Physical Feeling After the First Injection:
Appetite: Reduced, not hungry
Digestion: Diarrhea after eating too much or too little
I am planning to take a second injection soon, aiming to lose another 10 pounds. Let's see how it goes!
Record of the Second Month:
Timeframe: February 20th to March 20th (one month after the last update)
Weight: 68kg to 67.5kg (minor fluctuations)
Feedback: Friends noticed visible weight loss, though the changes felt minimal to me, possibly due to clothing.
Medication:
Dosage: 0.5mg per injection (as advised by medical professionals)
Frequency: Sometimes delayed by 1-3 days
Exercise and Mood:
Exercise: In a bottleneck period, not much progress due to work and lack of energy
Mood: Feeling low, easily tired, occasional cravings for sweets and fried foods
Health: Experienced pain in the upper left abdomen once or twice, concerned about pancreatitis
After the Second Injection:
Duration: From January 12th to March 27th (74 days in total)
Initial weight: 72kg
Current weight: 67.2kg
Total weight loss: 4.8kg
First injection result: Lost 4kg in 40 days
Second injection result: Lost 0.8kg in 34 days
Reflection and Future Plans:
The weight loss effect has slowed down, maintaining my current state, but less weight loss than expected. Overall, I am satisfied but cautious. I plan to wait for 2-4 weeks to monitor for any weight rebound and decide on continuing the medication.
Using Lantus SoloStar Pen for Weight Management:
In addition to my weight loss efforts, I also use the Lantus SoloStar Pen to manage my insulin levels, which is essential for someone with insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome. Why the Lantus SoloStar Pen is effective:
Consistency: Provides a steady dose of insulin, helping to manage blood sugar levels effectively.
Ease of Use: The pen is user-friendly and convenient for daily use.
Accurate Dosing: Ensures precise insulin administration, crucial for maintaining overall health and supporting weight loss efforts.
My weight loss journey has been a mix of challenges and successes. By combining diet control, exercise, and the use of medications like the Lantus SoloStar Pen, I aim to achieve my target weight and manage my health conditions effectively. Stay tuned for more updates on my progress!
