Weight Loss

AmyLR94

Hi Wave tone1,

For the last 11 weeks I have been taking Mounjaro as my last chance to lose weight. It’s been going great and I have lost 10lb so far…but I have today’s dose and next weeks dose left and with the prices have gone up, I’m worried I can’t afford it anymore. Which has left me heartbroken as this was my last chance to become more slimmer and healthier.

I’ve tried slimming world, weight watchers, NHS weight management groups and coaching. All of them didn’t help me lose weight but this jab has, so now I’m unsure what to do.

I tried counting calories but I really don’t understand it and bored and frustrated. I’ve used apps and asked people but I still don’t understand.

So I’m unsure where to go from here and was wondering if there was any other women who are autistic and how they lose weight and stick to it?

    I know you say you've already tried coaching but there seems to be increasing evidence than strength training is beneficial for women especially those of us who are 40+. When I was at my thinnest and strongest I had a high muscle mass and it burns off so many calories at rest. I too am rubbish at sticking to diets and I'm also restricted by allergies so have to eat what I can. I'm not disciplined enough to weigh my portions to properly track them but basic tracking started leading to an ED when I used My fitness pal to try and track everything in my late 20s so I don't really track anymore. I also get very bored at the gym and doing repetitive exercises and have absolutely zero interest in going out for runs. I build up my strength by doing aerial fitness classes and ballet, both of which I find fun and also have to leave the house to do. I can't motivate myself to keep plodding away on a treadmill or doing a load of  squats/lunges/push ups/sit ups/planks etc, especially at home with lots of other things to do.
