Love to see more of you again! You are such an inspiration, I have lost 116 pounds in the last 18 months on Ozempic and Wegovy. Love your tips and advice!❤
You’re killing it Mindy! I’m 10 lbs away from onederland! You’ve given me an idea to try to add in maintenance phases. This is terrifying to me. I’ve realized I’m great at restricting calories but terrible at the maintenance phase. I keep telling myself I’ll figure it out when I get to my goal weight but I really need to figure this out now!!
OMG, THAT'S SO EXCITING!!! GO BABY GO!!! I totally feel you. I've said before that "losing weight" is easier for me than keeping it off. I've lost weight a million times in my life, but I've never managed to maintain it. I'm still not great at maintenance either, and I've been practicing on and off for over a year. It's all a learning experience.
Congrats on your continued progress!! You must feel so good! I'm down 17 pounds and am currently in Wegovy 1mg. My appetite is way down and it's starting to get easy for me to forget about food - especially when I'm really busy. I'm trying to be conscious and really prioritize yummy protein options and so far it really helps me to not feel deprived! Cottage cheese protein pancakes with triple zero yogurt on top and a little apricot jelly has been such a great breakfast treat and I didn't feel the least bit guilty! Will we have a California vlog in the works???
Wonderful long form video! I love these little slices of life. I love seeing you take your walks with Helios. I very much look forward to being able to walk without being in a lot of pain. I have been a Ranch girl since I discovered it as a teenager - I am known among family and friends for always ordering ranch (and lemons) on the side - but my taste has changed a lot being on these meds. I still am a foodie - I still watch cooking shows and enjoy eating and etc, but my appetite is so suppressed that I find myself not as interested in cooking a lot of the time, and I'm spending FAR less money on food, and eating out way less. I don't want sweets, Ranch, fast food, etc - and what I do crave instead are things I never craved before, like fermented foods and grilled fish. I burned myself out on bananas years ago with my orthorexia, but lately they have started to really be "appealing" (rimshot!). I actually had to give up the Oikos Triple Zero because it tastes "too sweet" to me now - I used to adore it but now it really kinda grosses me out. The medication seems to be making things taste more intense, and I think that is part of it. And of course, I get VERY sick if I have anything too acidic (sugar, beef, marinara) or simply eat too much of anything, and so that is a psychological deterrent that I know has to play in there somewhere. But do I still love food? Oh hell yes. I will always be a proud foodie. I think a disinterest in food is a failure to thrive. 🌳💝🌳
Your chicken salad looks delicious. I just added the ingredients to my grocery list because were eating that tonight! 🤤 Have a wonderful time in California with your family!
I think we started around the same time, and i too have lost 125 pounds. I also started out much heavier than you, but now I'm currently on Zepbound my Endo started me on. Hoping for good results. Congrats!
One more comment, sorry! Have you tried vanilla Greek yogurt with PB2 and a drizzle of honey? It's SO GOOD! And, I crumble in two Metamucil Fiber Thins (chocolate) sometimes. :)
@@mindypweightloss They're by Metamucil, and it's 100 calories for a pack of 2. The only ones I like are the chocolate ones, though. They're kind of expensive, but you do get several packs in the box.
Have fun in California! I also dont focus on my food intake as much when on vacation....I mean,,,it's vacation! I do still try to keep my portions smaller, but I will enjoy a couple bites of whatever dessert is set before me. Just not all of it. Lol. And then when I get home, I go back to my normal eating, and normally lose any weight I might have gained within a week or two. I have been maintaining my weight loss for 6 months now. No shots. I flucate between 150-153. After vacation, I can weigh 160! But then lose it again. Before I got off the shots (Monjaro 2.5, never went higher) I was taking a shot every 2 months. I had slowly worked myself to that point, which is why I think I am able to be successful at maintaining currently.
@@mindypweightloss the one I’m using now doesn’t provide much other than the medications. I just need to see if I can still use my FSA then I’m switching!
@christyallen-bess7048 According to Google, telehealth services are eligible for reimbursement with FSA, HSA, and HRA accounts. I'd check with your particular plan, but you should be gtg. ❤️
I am so new to wegovy, I did .25 now on 1st .5 its kicking my butt I want to stop by my husband says keep going it will get better wii it? how do I make it go easier ? I already told my dr I want to do 2 months maybe more if I keep going on .5 to avide this next month its so crazy will it get better?
If you were doing well on 0.25 my advice would be to talk to your doctor about going back down a dose. One of my biggest regrets was rushing through the doses and I wish I hadn't. There's no reason to make yourself suffer. Your body may just need more time to titrate. ❤️
LaB brand makes a zero carb tortilla! 60cal, 4g protein. Got them at Sam's. I was so afraid they would stop carrying them, I ordered a whole box!😂 $7 for a 16ct.
I haven't tried them because I love this recipe so much. Those are considerably smaller than these. I also get these same ones in the street taco and snack size. They are the absolute best low carb tortilla out there!!
