This "every two months" thing seems to be working pretty well for the Zepbound updates, so I think I'll stick with the format for 2025. (You know, until I change my mind again, as I am wont to do.)

So here's something I learned about GLP-1 medications about a month ago that I wish I had known sooner: appetite suppression is apparently a side effect (vs an intended result of taking it), and it wears off, typically within 6 months of starting a dosage level...

A recap of my weight loss journey for September and October 2024, and a look ahead at my plans for finishing out the year.

I really did intend to do this every month, but things always seemed to go haywire that last week, including this month! It's a holiday weekend and I'm home for a change (that would be this month's haywire part; I have a stupid cold and don't want to infect my parents!), so there is unexpected time in my schedule. And also, HOW IS IT ALREADY SEPTEMBER??!!!

I've read that it's important to set weekly and monthly goals. These will not be actual weight loss goals in terms of pounds or inches. Instead, they are focused on changing old habits and building new ones to set myself up for future success.

"Your prescription is ready." Those are magical words. And it has taken a long time to get here. [Note: republished due to some blog weirdness]
