So today was my 11th shot … again at 10mg.

Yesterday I weighed in at 311 pound for a 47 pound weight loss which is great... As a percentage of my starting weight though I have lost 13% of my bodyweight so I have ways to go.

This week was my Eureka moment….

 So according to the BMI tables I have been morbidly obese for quite some time.   Despite my great weight loss on mounjaro I am still morbidlly obese!  I reviewed the cutoffs and the reality is that I need to lose about 25% of my starting body weight to be...270# which would be obese but not morbidly obese... That would be an 88 pound weight loss.

And to be just overweight and not obese … I would need to get to 210 pounds which would be a 158 pound total weight loss which is a 44% body total weight loss.  The last time I weighed around 210 pounds was in my early to mid 20s.

Yeah … very sobering indeed.  I think shooting to get out of the obese category entirely will be very very difficult.

So I am setting my sights on 270 for a 25% weight loss which would take me out of morbid obesity.   I guess I will reassess when and if I get there.   Wow.   Okay.   No one said this would be easy.

  Hello!   So today I weighed in at 237.6 which is awesome!      Here is a summary of my weight loss journey for the past 5 1/2 years … it shows my attempts before Mounjaro and although some success with gargantuan efforts it was completely unsustainable for me and very yo-yo like … my maximum recorded weight is in the middle of the chart so a couple of years in I weighed more than my first day!   The last downslope is the past year on tirzepatide / mounjaro / abound … Crazy!!   And now with sustained manageable  total daily healthy eating this past year  I have hit body  weights that I never honestly believed I would ever see again!  And I now believe I can lose even more … crazy but in a good way.   A complete mental reset. Here is the same graph but by BMI: The BMI of 53.4 and 52.2 were in the extremely obese (morbidly obese) category. My present BMI of 33.1 is still considered obese. I need to hit a BMI of 29 to no longer be considered obese .. a BMI of 29 would categorize me as OV

  So additional info from yeaterday’s post… Above is a photo from this morning and the last post had a photo at the bottom of me at my maximum weight!  My food plan: Mostly CorePower Chocolate Shakes (mixed with Fairlife chocolate shakes and CorePower Vanilla and Strawberry Banana shakes) One meal per day at home on work days … mostly Sloppy Joe’s made with ground turkey and keto buns with either side salad or fruit cups (no sugar added mandarin oranges or pineapple) and a 1/4 pint of ice cream (Hagan-Daz or Breyers).  Mix it up with chicken Tikka Masala or Ground Turkey tacos on keto friendly soft tortillas.   Those are with side salad or the fruit and possibly also the ice cream at the end. One weekends when I am being social I allow myself two regular meals without paying too much attention  to what I am eating (whatever is served) or something appealing at a restaurant … I do tend towards poultry and fish or vegetarian and avoid any heavy servings of red meat because I don’t  seem

  This is an AI rendition of what I would look like as a hippie … it made me think of the all the possibilities of what could be or what could have been … I am at a protracted plateau now fluctuating between 237-243 for the past couple of months.   The only thing I am doing different is that I am working out 2-3x per week in the gym trying to regain some of the muscle and strength I lost this past year.   It seems counterintuitive to me that working out would slow my weight loss down like this but maybe it does … for me! I have been amazied hy how many people have started their own weight loss journey.   Like me early on they want to keep it to themselves until other people notice a difference.   Human nature to be self conscious and afraid that what has worked for so many people won’t work for them.  I am going to stay the status quo for now and see if the weight loss starts again … but I will continue working out.  I am doing my shots every 7 days since I am on this plateau.   If I s
