I've been on compound Triz for 8 days. Best way I can describe the feeling is it feels like being in ketosis without limiting carbs. My appetite is down to 10% of what it was and I've gone from 263lbs to 252lbs. I'm a 50/yo male. Keep up the good work lady!

What you said about still having a piece of cake is spot on. Any 'diet' won't work for you long term, it's about having everything in moderation. I'm glad you are learning that and doing so well with working out too. Keep up the good work! 👍

I don’t believe in “dieting “I just believe in eating healthier and eating in moderation and exercising or staying active

So happy for you 💗 Managing cravings on holidays has been always a vicious cycle~ Keep it up girl🔥

Congrats Lauren. I’m so proud of you.

Go you for not googling the itchiness and planning on bringing it up to your doctor instead! You’re killing it queen!

You’re doing fantastic, Lauren! I’m so very happy for you!! You’re looking GREAT!

I love the quietening effect . I'm down 40 pounds in 4 1/2 months

The black outfit is beautiful! Fasting is not dangerous and as long as the person is not underweight it’s healthy. I got the flu and didn’t eat the week of Thanksgiving, no worse the wear. Keep up the good work and take measurements as sometimes the scale doesn’t show your progress.

So excited to see photos of the concert Love love love them! so jelly!

You GO GIRL!!!! That’s awesome!!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!! U got this girl!! U have motivated me!!! Thanks for that sister. ❤

You just opened my eyes! I'm a small business owner. Which comes with seasonal stress. Every-so-often I get psoriasis flare ups around my eye brows. Wow, thanks Lauren!

Looking good miss brazee!!! Keep up the good work. So proud of you!

I love that outfit you picked out and congrats on your progress in your weight loss journey! It’s good that you’re going to the doctor for the itchiness and I hope it’s temporary and not something like an allergy

Congrats Lauren keep going your on 🔥!!!!

2:11 pm so happy you’ll be able to enjoy the Penatonix concert. Since it’s Christmas, maybe add a pop of red, green , or white - a choker, or a broach.

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! Happy for you 🤩🎉💯

Lauren, my doctor just upped my dose to the 12.5 because she said less people on that dose for now. So if you run into issues maybe check into it. The nurse today also said they're trying really hard to get it approved for obesity but not sure when. I have been out of medicine for about a week and I'm so glad I was able to get my dose today.

About the itchiness: One of the things I uncovered in research about obesity, hormones and fat cells, was that fat cells don't just have fat....it carries toxins as well. When your fat cells are shedding the toxins go back out into the body and exit through urine and sweating. The itchiness could simply be the toxins coming out of your pores onto your skin.

Very true as a nurse that’s why they suggest drinking a lot of water after a massage for it releases toxins from your cells and flushed out ❤

Your husband’s commentary cracked me up 😂 My husband would have been the same way 😂😂. You’re doing awesome, so proud of you and happy for you!

Happy birthday Ella!!!♥️♥️♥️🎉

I am so proud of you for NOT GOOGLING! And YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS!

I love how you and John lovingly tease each other.❤❤❤❤

You look great Lauren! ❤ you should feel so proud ! ❤ 💪

So happy for you!! You are doing so good. LOVE JOHN!! Of course that's what he notices most 🤣🤣🤣 Just like my husband. 🥰 That black outfit is going to look nice on you ❤🎄

So happy for you n ur doing so well.

I’ve been like that too with itching. I know I’ve an anxiety disorder and I’ll itch sometime from that. I wonder if your water is different where you’re now? Like did you’ve well water in your last house and maybe town water where you’re now? I’ve town water and it’s so hard on my skin and makes me itch too! I love you so much Lauren and your beautiful family! I’m so proud of you!

I saw Pentatonix a couple years ago with my mom and honestly either outfit will work fine, you'll see both there, I'd say maybe go fancy outfit with walkable shoes because when else do you get to be a little fancy? John's comments during your full shot was adorable lol, I'd encourage you not to put too much stock in the scale and what you've lost because eventually it won't come off as easily. That doesn't mean important things aren't still happening so keeping the focus on what feels better is good but also making a little list or video about things that used to be hard or caused issues that don't anymore is really nice to look at down the line because even if you don't have any substantial developments one week you can look and say "I'm still maintaining and haven't gone back to XYZ so this is still an accomplishment" and remind yourself that maintenance is a great goal all on it's own.

Your so relatable such a good video. Thank you

Your honesty….thank you.

You look fabulous!! Much love to you ❤

Keep up the great work!! You are doing amazing!!!❤

Congratulations, that is so awesome, I'm gonna talk to my doctor about it but I'm afraid of needles thanks for sharing and as always stay safe and God bless love ya Nancy

You go, girl!! 🏆🏆💪💪💪

❤Thank you for this video. I am starting MoJo in a couple weeks (post a vacay). Also, just started EveryPlate too. I love it! I’m making meals I would’ve never learned how to make! Can you recommend some of your favorite healthy meals? Thanks again for your honest feedback and thoughts.

Ooo...wear the sparkle...and flats so you can walk/stand/dance ❤️❤️❤️. Have fun. Congrats on the work you are putting into your weight loss journey. It is great you are focusing on areas such as energy gain and ability to do things, rather than just the number on the scale.

Congratulations on your weight loss. That is great

I’m on my 2nd week too I’m excited so far I love it I’m nauseous all the time but I’m glad I’m not overeating

Omg how are we so alike!? I’m losing weight too I lost 23lbs recently but working hard the end of the year because I’m the same I want to inhale everything during the holidays! I’m doing the 75 soft challenge and it’s helped me so much my starting weight was 336.8 and I’m down to 313!! I love you Lauren thank you for sharing these!!!!

Lauren! My dr recently prescribed me Mounjaro for weight loss but the pharmacy is saying I can’t use the savings card because I’m not diabetic. How were you able to get it to work for you?

A few years back I lost 50 lbs. Wasn’t taking anything to lose just plain old diet and exercise. I also would get very itchy as I was losing. Mine was from stretch marks shrinking. Not much I could do but lotion. Just a thought, maybe that’s why you are feeling this way.

You can see all your hard work Lauren, you always look Beautiful, but now even more if that's possible, my daughter is also on the same medication for diabetes, but it has helped her in her weight, she also has lost 32.6 lbs. Keep on going. 🥰💖

I am also very freaking itchy. I also have psoriasis too but mine is a more severe form of psoriasis that doesn’t really go away.

sis, look at you! "im not going to google it, ill talk to my doctor " thats progress girl!!!!!!

I have psoriasis arthritis and it sucks!!! I want to start meds but not available in my location!! I have to try something else.

Could the itchiness be cause of weather change?? I know that bugs my skin.

😂@Titties! So awesome to have ur husbae's support! Congratulations on your loss, growth and happiness 😊

You are doing so well ! And your attitude is great ! Enjoy the concert 🎶 l hope they do Mary Did You Know . I think dressy black would be very nice . Minus the heels 👠

Good video. Much love and support to you. Continue on your road on getting the silver play button along with interviewing with Chris ULMER of SBSK

Your looking fantastic well done 👏 😊

That’s great that you’re seeing progress….if you stay home that’s an even bigger accomplishment as staying at home is a big trigger for me with my weight gain. As a teacher of 24 years I always gain weight during the summer when I’m home because I’m not on my feet all day…today for example I just checked my steps and I’m at 13,334. That’s a pretty typical day when I’m teaching….when I’m home it’s maybe 6,000 plus I’m grazing all day. Lol

I'm so proud of you lauren; grl you got this( changing in brain has to happen before anything else, and you get it)so jealous you get to see pentatonix 😉I love home free too😘( I lost 48 lbs...my old lady bosoms like like old tube socks, with wet sand in the bottom, so I get it)😂😂

So proud of you! 🙌❤️ Jon's comment cracked me up! 😂🤣 I lost 70 pounds & 80+ inches overall a few years back on keto & my boobs left! Like wth?! Take my big belly & give boobs back! LOL I've since gained it all back & then some. 😕 I'm gonna talk to my Endo about Mounjaro tomorrow. I've been on Ozempic for over a year & a half and I'm no longer losing weight & just staying nauseated. So it's time for a change! Hopefully mounjaro will work great for me, if my doctor gives it to me. I hope you have a great time at the concert! 💜

Go fancy black!! I'm a bit jelous, it will be an amazing concert!! ENJOY!! Love from Ontario, Canada. xo

A few years ago I lost 120 pounds I was itchy that whole time. I was told it was because your skin is shrinking. I was really itchy on my belly, chest and waist.

I itch a lot in the winter because of dry skin; especially with electric heat. And I struggle to drink enough water, so I end up slightly dehydrated most of the time (salt, sugar and caffeine contribute to thirst. My 3 favorite food groups.)

Fancy black but with shoes you can walk in for Pentatonix. We have been pentatonix fans since they were on the Sing Off. The itching and psoriasis flare could be from weather changes/changes in heating/AC indoors. I also get itchy from exercise.

Coincidentally I'm going through a psoriasis flare up too, been that way for a few months now with no end in sight - Mine is mostly on my scalp, so its hidden mostly but holy moly itchy!

Ok, I skipped thru most of this bcus what I wanted to know is what doesage are you speaking of being on for 2 weeks and losing weight bcus my Dr started me out on the lowest dose of 2.5 which is doing absolutely nothing and it's not expected to until I move up next month to the 5mg for and above.

Great video

Throwing this out there, itching can be a gallbladder or liver issue, maybe see if pcp can order a liver panal and cbc and cmp sometimes the ozempic and the new med ur on can cause itching

I would agree about that.

I love PTX been to 10 concerts.

You mentioned your lack of energy, anytime you’re losing weight be sure and ask your doctor if they want you to add B12 to your supplements. It seems to help me with my energy levels.

In honor of your weight loss and because you deserve to, wear some color! Have anything green or red? Wear that with the blazer and/or black jeans. You're going to look stunning!!!

Im starting Mounjaro on monday and im terrified!

I ❤ the black shiny jacket!!!❤️ ❤️ ❤️ You should wear the outfit that you chose. Figure out a comfortable shoe/boot. Go have a BLAST with your Dad!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Plz talk to dr immediately with rash/itching issue

Wellbutrin did it all this for me. I feel very lucky.

just be comfortable from head to toe! i would wear comfortable shoes! just comfort cause you want to have fun and not be uncomfortable in shoes especially.

❤❤

I weigh myself everyday at the gym. I know I'm not supposed to but like you it keeps me accountable and I just have once a week for my official weigh in. I'm 14+5 weeks pregant and so far down about 16 pounds. Still 38 pounds heavier then I was when I had my daughter 11 years ago but who cares. What matters is I'm trying to eat better and I'm going to the gym at least 6 days a week. So I'm trying. That's what matters most right. I also usually do what you do and normally eat everything I can before I start loosing weight. Thankfully this time I had 3 months of bad morning sickness and still have to he careful what I eat so couldn't do that this time. I've only been back at the gym since November 30th. You are doing amazing and I'm so so proud of you .

Pentatonix is my favorite band.

I hope the manjaro isn’t rising your blood pressure. Congratulations on the weight loss.

Congratulations on losing weight you look great.

Is John doing it also? Congrats 👍

Ask your doctor if the itching can be from the Mounjaro. It can be a bad reaction. Just make sure it’s safe for you.

Your doing great! Just wondering does John have a job?

John had a great KZread fitness channel, but he stopped posting over a year ago. I loved his channel. He has had setbacks and the hurricane was a major life change. I asked before if he was going back to college and taking classes, but did not hear anything. He is not in the videos as much anymore. So maybe he is doing something, but they want to keep it private and that is fine. I only wish the best for John.

That outfit is cute! But girl no heels!

Same with me friend. Gorging. Sucks!!

I wore high heels to MGK in cleveland and regretted it lmfao

I think I'm actually going to talk to my doctor about that stuff you're on because me I don't eat unhealthy and I don't restrict myself of food I only eat twice a day maximum but I have a really bad thyroid that I'm on medication for but I'm still putting on weight and I have a really bad back I've already had one surgery facing another one and each surgeon tells me the same thing lose weight in your back will feel better even with the herniated discs and as much as I would love to believe me I would because I used to be a very active person until I hurt my back if it hurts to move I can't get up and exercise even with narcotics I still cannot function as a whole because of all the pain and now the pain pills do not make me loopy I'm way past that stage I don't abuse my pain pills but they don't touch the pain anymore either so it's either lose weight or become a drug addict and I think I would rather take medicine to help me lose weight versus become a drug addict

It's actually better to eat more often in a day than only twice. Also you probably need to work out the exact amount of calories that you're taking in at the moment, so you can see if there's anything you need to change.
