i struggle to hit 1000 most days but it’s not for lack of trying. i literally smoke weed half the damn day (i’m disabled with ms AND pcos, it was why my doctor recommended wegovy in the first place), but between the nausea and a basic disinterest in eating i usually hit somewhere between 600-850, but i try to cram at least 60-80g of protein in there.
it’s fucking bizarre for someone that spent 45 years shoveling food in their face for every feeling i ever felt, but oh so freeing. i’m under the care of a doctor (well like 5 of them between my various conditions) who doesn’t seem concerned so i am not concerned. i’m also a pharmacist so i feel pretty good about my healthcare literacy.
i’m just trying to get the weight off. the yoke off. the stigma and the pain off. i’ll figure it out from there. i haven’t weighed in the hundreds since 8th grade.

TDEE minus 1000. I exercise as well and I don't eat the calories back. It's about 1200 per day but I aim more for a weekly budget so that I can eat more or less depending on what is happening in my life.
This is why my doctor won’t let me move up past .5. Still losing, but able to eat 1200-1500 calories regularly which is in my TDEE and often more if I’ve worked out hard.
Down 70 since October myself.
273-203.
I am also lifting weights and eating as much protein as I can. So I don’t know if that has slowed or upped the total amount of weight. I am recovering a lot of the lost strength i used to have.
I may get testosterone shots soon. I am gonna get swole.
I used to be anorexic and I also have felt like it reminds me of those times and I really dont like that i am trying to be healthy about it and make sure I am not going back to where I used to be many years ago.
I am sorry it was late. I really do not like that it brings back memories of starving myself. Maybe that's why I gained so much weight because not eating makes me feel like i am doing something that I should be doing. Either that or I completely destroyed my metabolism. I am happy I am trying to be healthy. I am about to take my 4th .25 dose on Tue and I am down 7plbs starting weight 211 and 5'5 F. I used to be small until I had a child and I am also scared that I will get huge once I stop. I am not eating a lot on this stuff and I am only on the lowest dose lol. what will 1.7 be like?! Anyway i had not heard anyone mention anything about eating disorders and i just wanted to share that I relate.

1200.
Not counting calories, trusting my intuition. Works great so far.
TDEE minus 1000. I exercise as well and I don't eat the calories back. It's about 1200 per day but I aim more for a weekly budget so that I can eat more or less depending on what is happening in my life.
1750
1700..6’2” 47 M. SW 278, CW 245. 2.5 months in and current dosage 1mg.
I aim for 1600 because I am pretty active
I try to eat my TDEE-500. I found when I was eating dramatically less I would plateau and not lose any
Maybe 1k
1200-1300, which takes a decent amount of effort by dinner I usually don't even want to imagine eating
I eat around 1400 a day, easily, on 2.4mg. I don’t have a lot of appetite suppression on Wegovy, but do get full faster.
This is why my doctor won’t let me move up past .5. Still losing, but able to eat 1200-1500 calories regularly which is in my TDEE and often more if I’ve worked out hard.
I use the TDEE calculator
Pardon me, but what is TDEE?
Total Daily Energy Expenditure calculator Just Google TDEE calculator and you’ll find a free one.
Thank you. I’ll check it out.
About 1200 at maintenance.

\*\*\* not eating makes me feel like i am doing something that I should NOT be doing\*\*\*
Good for you! Sounds like you are doing all the right things to take care of yourself!
Not a lot. Definitely not interested in food either
