Tracking my weight loss with Wegovy. Taking advice/suggestions/abuse/etc.
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 20th, 2026 10:55 AM Author: bonkers drab corner Age: 40 in a few weeks wtf.
Height: 6' 1".
Weight: Haven't weighed myself in over two years. I'm going to weigh myself first thing tomorrow morning before I eat or drink anything. Definitely north of 220 lbs. How far north? I'll find out tomorrow morning.
Pictures of my disgusting body as of this morning:
I've been overweight for two years, and I've failed to get to a healthy weight and stay at that weight during the entire time. My diet is pretty boring and healthy, but my appetite seems to be all fucked up from stress. I was in great shape until my mid 30s when my gut started growing slowly. At this point I'm frustrated with my inability to lose weight and keep it off, and I'm just too worried about my health now after being fat for years, so I'm starting Wegovy. I took the first pill this morning.
It takes a few months to ramp up to the maintenance dose, so I'm not sure how much it'll help in the beginning. In the meantime, I'm going to add in strength training to my exercise routine, which has just been at least an hour of cardio every single day. I'm going to reduce calories slowly. I used to have a binge eating problem, and my doctor told me to be very careful not to cut out too many calories too quickly because the binge eating could resurface. |

Date: June 20th, 2026 11:04 AM Author: bonkers drab corner Sorry, didn't go into as much detail about my diet. My diet is based on the Mediterranean diet with lots of lean proteins, fruits, veggies, olive oil, legumes, etc. But I have a tendency to eat garbage snacks when I'm particularly stressed. I also used to wake up in the middle of the night feeling starved and would binge eat anywhere from 300 to 800+ calories. So despite being this fat, my blood work came back surprisingly good because the "core" of my diet is still a lot of healthy stuff.

fortunately I do have this information readily accessible in Dr. Ballantyne's excellent book, the Nutrivore Quickstart Guide.
I've screenshotted the essential vitamins, vitamin-like compounds, and minerals and their effects: https://imgur.com/a/K48Jaa4
there are other categories covered that can be considered "micronutrients" but they're not listed as short blurbs like this and I'm not gonna screenshot dozens of pages. however, if there's interest, I can host the entire PDF somewhere and poast it. |

Date: June 20th, 2026 12:05 PM Author: chrome gas station all sounds great, just keep in mind that variety is super important so you get all the diff vitamins and minerals your body needs to function at its best. if you're deciding between meals, go for the one that repeats fewer ingredients from what you've eaten in the prior few days. looking at metabolic health separately from size/weight: eating whole is the #1 thing, and variety within that whole diet is #2 imho. but I'm just a poaster.

|
Date: June 20th, 2026 12:17 PM Author: chrome gas station yeah and I mean you also have it working against you that UPFs are designed to be hyperpalatable, addictive, suppress satiety signals, and so on. personally I don't crave junk but when someone else brings it in the house it's hard to resist, or to just have one... because they make it that way.
how's your blood pressure? if it's good, you don't really need to worry about sodium so just add more salt to everything you make lol. oh and sauces! just a little bit of something acidic like tabasco (or squeezing a lemon) should help too. and then yeah switching it up more from day to day should definitely help with the boredom too. |
|
Date: June 20th, 2026 1:40 PM Author: bonkers drab corner I don't ever check my blood pressure with a cuff, but my Apple Watch has that high blood pressure detector thing. It's never warned me of high blood pressure.
And I don't consume that much sodium because the staples of my diet are unprocessed/low sodium foods. It's just the snacks and junk from one meal that usually are salty, fatty, sugary, etc. |
|
Date: June 20th, 2026 1:41 PM Author: chrome gas station yeah for sure so you have room to add more salt to stuff and make it less bland (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5875882&forum_id=2...id#49951584) |

I'm guessing you feel like shit at your current weight. You'll feel better by losing just the first 10 lbs. That'll likely motivate you to lose more. And I've never taken any of these weight loss drugs, but I assume this shouldn't be too difficult now that you're taking one.

Date: June 23rd, 2026 10:17 AM Author: bonkers drab corner Update: Yesterday I weighed an even 262.0 lbs, but that was right before my morning shit. Today I weighed myself after shitting, and it came in at 260.9 lbs.
After seeing 262 lbs on the scale yesterday I freaked out and immediately started reducing portions for all my meals and also cut out a few things. My guess is I cut out around 500 calories. |

Kind of like carrying 40 lb dumbbells with me all day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5875882&forum_id=2...id#49958919) |

Date: June 24th, 2026 4:55 AM Author: lilac mexican Nutrition is overblown and gay. There are literally like 3 macronutrients--fats, proteins, and carbs. Everything is just swapping ratios. Obviously bad to have way too much saturated fat, but what are you going to do, cut fat off every piece of meat? A lot of meat has marbled fat already in it. Obviously not drinking liquid sugar drinks is important too, but who the hell really drinks a ton of soda and eats cake these days anyway? Most important thing is just not eating too much food. Especially if we are talking regarding actual weight gain. LOL at believing in a "nutrition magic" variable above thermodynamics. If metabolizable energy intake is not high enough to exceed overall energy expenditure over time then you don't gain weight.

Date: June 24th, 2026 9:34 AM Author: Adventurous chocolate national factory reset button This is misguided IMO. The idea of reducing nutrition to macro and calories misses a massive part of the picture (both weight and general health). It's obviously the case that weight loss is driven by the laws of thermodynamics and caloric deficit but this misses the effects on satiety of certain types of food, as well as the critical role of fibre in the health of gut flora.

Date: June 24th, 2026 11:06 AM Author: lilac mexican I don’t think we actually disagree much. My point wasn’t that nutrition quality is irrelevant. It was that people often treat nutrition as if there’s some mysterious variable that can override energy balance when it comes to body weight. I just think nutritionmos often miss the forest for the trees. And I agree that for non-body weight matters it obviously matters, but again I think people are underestimating the extent to which they are just swapping out ingredients that each have different benefits/payoffs.

Date: June 24th, 2026 1:18 PM Author: chrome gas station yes all "ingredients" have different benefits, which is why it's important to have a whole, VARIED diet in order to get all the nutrients your body needs to function at its best. a huge percentage of Americans, whether fat or thin, are undernourished because they eat SPS diets of UPFs with almost no nutritional value. body size isn't the only thing that matters.

Date: June 24th, 2026 10:22 AM Author: bonkers drab corner Not sure if it's the Wegovy since I've been taking it for less than a week, but I now crave food much less than I did before. Maybe seeing 262 lbs on the scale just freaked me out and set me straight. My conservative guess is that I've cut out around 600 calories per day, and this change hasn't left me feeling hungry.

Date: June 24th, 2026 10:30 AM Author: Pale misunderstood set mother why did you pick wegovy specifically? there are so many of these things now. what are the pros/cons of wegovy
also wtf you're not tracking calories? should've started doing that even before you took the drug. otherwise you're just guessing |
|
Date: June 24th, 2026 10:40 AM Author: bonkers drab corner I'm unemployed, and I have trash insurance that doesn't cover weight loss drugs. So I went with the cheapest option, which is the Wegovy pill. I don't know enough about the alternatives to speak about the pros and cons other than cost.
I eat virtually the same food every day, and a long time ago I did calculate how many calories I was consuming per day. I don't remember the exact number, but I don't actively track calories because, again, I eat virtually the same food every day. I know that what I was eating a week ago was making me fat, so I'm just eating smaller portions of every single meal and/or cutting out specific foods entirely. It seems like a hassle to track every meal, anyway, since I eat six times a day. I'd rather just measure two things once a week: my weight and my waist size, and then adjust my diet accordingly. |

Date: June 24th, 2026 11:27 AM Author: Maize bawdyhouse Breh, go through the exercise of calculating calories consumed and calories burned once just to get a sense of what needs work. If your diet made you gain all this weight, you might have to cut out more than 600 calories to start losing weight. Too much guesswork involved in eyeballing it.

Date: June 24th, 2026 11:55 AM Author: bonkers drab corner Okay I had ChatGPT estimate the calories and macronutrients. I didn't list brands for some foods, so it has some uncertainty.
Total calories: 2,900 - 3,350 Protein: ~205 g Carbs: ~320 g Fat: ~110 g
According to my Apple Watch, I burn about 1,150 calories per day though my daily cardio and lots of walking. Not sure how reliable/accurate that is.
Basal metabolic rate is around 2,200 calories per day.
If these numbers are indeed accurate-enough, I might have a slight calorie deficit. But it looks like there's room to cut a little more, so I'll adjust. |
|
Date: June 24th, 2026 12:11 PM Author: Maize bawdyhouse I'm not sure how this Wegovy shit works, but if it's really suppressing your appetite, you have room to cut out up to about 600 more calories at the very maximum (20% calorie deficit). Anything more aggressive than 20% will make you lose healthy weight like muscle. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5875882&forum_id=2...id#49960704) |

No amount of pushups or bench presses will make them go away. |

Date: June 24th, 2026 11:09 AM Author: lilac mexican Nah it looks like pseudo-gyno. You can fix that with weight loss or extreme androgens.

Date: June 24th, 2026 11:59 AM Author: bonkers drab corner I haven't considered this. I just examined my mantits, and they just feel like blubbery fat. There's no "firm" tissue or anything other than the pec muscle underneath all the fat.
Why do you think this is flame? |

This morning under the same conditions I weighed in at 256.8 lbs -- a drop of 4.1 lbs in one week. I still look like a fat fuck obviously, but I've noticed that my shirts feel slightly less tight at the waist.
Going to keep my diet as-is for the time being. I think my Apple Watch is underestimating how many calories I burn through exercise and walking. |

Starting weight: 260.9 lbs
One week ago: 256.8 lbs
This morning: 254.9 lbs
For consistency I measure my weight in the morning after using the bathroom and before I eat or drink anything.
My gut is still enormous and disgusting, but it feels subtly smaller. Still a long way to go. |

Date: July 11th, 2026 1:13 PM Author: guy trying to lose weight Update: Exactly three weeks of taking Wegovy today. It seems to be doing something even though I'm still on the very low starter dose: I eat smaller portions for nearly all of my meals, cut out snacks completely except for half a cookie a day, and I don't feel like I'm starving or powering through hunger. Still weighing myself only once a week, so I'm not sure where I'm at right now, but I will weigh myself Monday morning. But I'm pretty sure I've lost more weight because I'm more active throughout the day and don't get tired as easily. And while I still have that disgusting gut, shirts feel noticeably less tight at the waist, and my gut no longer sticks out at the bottom of t-shirts.
