Hi, Allanda. I love the photo of you sleeping with your kitty. 😻 I really enjoy watching your videos, thank you!!!

I love your updates! Your reaction to you falling asleep during a conversation (and the comment "Oh your'e back!") made me laugh! You are so cute! I get it! The other day I went to sleep at 6pm and slept through to 4am! I was so darn tired, but felt completely rested when I woke up. I just figured my body needs the rest because it's going through some changes with the meds. It may be also that the autoimmune issues I have are being addressed on the meds and my body is letting go of the inflammation! Sleep has always been hard for me so being able to rest so well is a PLUS on this medication. Fortunately, I can adjust my schedule because my kids are grown and it's just my husband and me. (He tries to understand when I fall asleep during one of our favorite shows!) You are busy and cannot stop and sleep during this transition. So don't be embarrassed! Just rest alot when you are able. 🤗 Hugs! Oh I just ordered a Coldest sports bottle! Thank you for the recommendation. I've been wondering which one to get. ☺

You’re so fun and funny and keep it real at all accounts. I was surprised that your pharmacy couldn’t give you the 7.5 because it’s a new script and not a refill of the 5. I guess I’m learning to this as well. Take care and enjoy all the free perks you can. See if they have more teacher related discounts and events for the summer too.

Hey Friend!!! 🤗

Heyyy! This is wk 10 on MJ 2.5 and I have 2 more pens left . I start MJ 5.0 after that. On my second day after my injection this week the food noise started. I was like, GET BACK SATAN IM NOT THE ONE! 😂 But Satan decided to go to my husband and he ordered Domino’s cheesy marinara dip with twists. My favorite!😢 It kept calling my name louder and louder. I failed that challenge but I’m grateful that I have you and others for support. I couldn’t do this alone. The food noises and the constipation are the worst for me. I’m losing pounds and inches and I’m not going backwards. I got this, we all got this! Victory is ours!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Yes!!!! You are not alone! That is the whole reason that I started the channel. I left so alone! I knew that to be successful on this journey, I needed some support. I wasn’t sure what it would look like but I knew what was sitting in front of me. Anything had to be better than that! 😊 To my surprise, you all have really come through for me with support, laughter, inspiration, insight, and encouragement! We are here!!! Constipation is the worse! I have a history with hemorrhoids, so when i have it i just suffer. I now drink a lemon/ginger (sometime i add the cayenne pepper) drink once a day and that helps. My doctor would prefer that i drink it less often, but it been helping to be regular. As long as i have a glass a day, I am good! To be honest, I hate Wednesdays!!!! I can tell that’s when the medication starts to wear off. The food noise whispers in the late afternoon and by Thursday night….it’s talking!!! I just have to “try my best to mute the sound!”

Great job with your continued weight loss!!! Thanks for sharing your breakfast items and protein count. You gave me some options to add with the Premiere Protein because I rarely want anything along with it. That may be the reason I haven’t been as successful as you in dropping pounds. I truly appreciate the inspiration. Keep up the good work.

Hi Allanda, when crave for me it’s a clear indicator that my iron is low, I’m curious why ur doctor didn’t run labs on u🧐. Happy it all worked out for you.

@Allanda180

Ай бұрын

Hey! Excellent question! I have alpha thalassemia, so my iron stays low. I am on iron supplements but it still remains pretty low. Even during child birth, bags of blood are ordered. I am a hot mess! 🥹Two years ago, I started iron transfusions (only 4 completed), but as my luck would have it…I am allergic to the iron! 🤦🏾‍♀️. I had two near death allergic reactions where my throat closed and emergency medical services (EMS) were called. The third time, I was given two bags of saline, a bag of Benadryl, the iron, then a second bag of Benadryl. My 2 hour appointment went to four hours. I still had numbness in my mouth. 😔 after those last two, we decided to just keep me on iron pills. I am sure that that has some impact. Again, great question!

Get your rest 😂 I definitely get sleepy. But I do b12 every other week.

What should the fat percentage be? If it goes up you lose muscle ? 🤷‍♀️

@Allanda180

Ай бұрын

Great question!!! First and foremost, definitely speak with your doctor to determine what yours should be. Everyone is different. There are several number that play a factor to determining that I am losing muscle. Also, the call was much longer than I mentioned in the video. I just didn’t want to bother you all with the numbers and details. I was overwhelmed. 😩 I hate dealing with all the numbers. We discussed my muscle mass percentage and that decreased. My doctors would like to see me be in the 37-39% body fat. When I started the weight loss journey I was 49% body fat. I had been 44% body fat with an increased in muscle mass and water. Now that my body fat has increased to 47%, water percentage remained the same, but my muscle mass has decreased in stead of increased, she feels that I am losing lean muscle. I hope that this helps to clarify. Please let me know.
