2.4 mg
Last Weight: 223 pounds
Down 46 pounds (17.1%)

The night before I was supposed to take the first 2.4 dose…I ended up puking my guts out.  What made it worse (or better?) is that I knew it was coming.  I watched all weekend as the sickness made its way through my children and spouse.  I knew there was no way it was going to skip me.  Between rushing a four year old out of bed as he projectile vomited and trying to help Sofia through the roughest part, there was no way I was going to avoid the virus.

But it passed quickly.  I now feel comfortable enough to actually take the dose.  It feels like a big moment.  Four months in.  46 pounds down.  And I finally am on the full dosage.  I still worry about the future and whether or not I will be able to continue taking this medication into 2025.  But I still have at least this dose and 11 more doses to go.  Even if I don’t figure it out, I am going to be surprised if I don’t get under 210—or even as far as 200.

My perspective is already shifting to: maintain.  Whether I continue to get Wegovy into 2025 or not, I need to figure out how to maintain this new weight.  I know that will involve me continuing to use the calorie counter app.  It has been core to my success.  But I can’t let myself backslide.
