Fitness Journey feat.Trulicity

#blackgirlweightloss #fitnessjourney #weightlosstransformation #trulicity #weightlossshots #blackcontentcreator #blacklemon8creator #bodytransformation #Lemon8Diary #lemon8challenge

I have been going to the gym 2x-4x per week for the last 6 months and didn’t lose a pound. I also upped my water intake to 90oz per day and a no carb/keto diet and still nothing. I told my dr I wanted to try the weight loss shots like mounjaro, ozempic, Trulicity, or Wegovy. They were super supportive and requested to do bloodwork first to make sure there’s no medical reason why I am not losing weight. After a few days I heard back that everything came back normal! They had to give me Trulicity because mounjaro wanted proof I was type 2 diabetic but I wasn’t and it would be $550 without using my insurance. So then we tried wegovy and it was out of stock literally every where- I was even willing to travel to a state over in every direction. So finally my dr said well if we give you Trulicity it’s here at our pharmacy and it would only cost $12 without even putting it through insurance. So, they called in my prescription that day and I’ve been on it since April 28th. I take my shots every Sunday and it’s quick and painless. The end of week 2 was rough for 24 hours, I had to call out of work. Then week 3 I had headaches for a couple days and then 3 days after taking my week 5 shot (first week on my new dose of 1.5mg) I was sooooo nauseas for an entire day). I am 2 days away from taking week 6 of Trulicity (but week 2 on 1.5mg).

I am down 12lbs.

... Read moreNavigating weight loss can be a daunting experience, especially when traditional methods don't yield results. After committing to the gym 2-4 times a week and drastically changing my diet, my breakthrough came with Trulicity, a medication designed for type 2 diabetes that has emerged as a powerful weight-loss aid. This drug, often discussed alongside other popular options like Ozempic and Wegovy, has gained traction among those struggling with weight loss. The impact of medication varies; for some, it can be life-changing, while for others, it might pose challenges like side effects of nausea or headaches. It's important to consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new regimen, as they can guide you based on individual health needs and medication compatibility. Additionally, staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can complement the effects of Trulicity. They can also address dietary concerns, especially for those following low-carb or keto diets, which can be tricky while on these medications. Ensuring that you track your progress accurately and adjust your lifestyle accordingly is essential. Finally, joining community groups like #blackgirlweightloss or #fitnessjourney on social platforms can offer support and shared experiences, enhancing motivation and accountability. Explore your options, and remember, everyone's journey is unique!
