For anyone curious, I started my diet on 2/25. The night before, I ate a bush of bad, water retaining food, so lots of bloat. The average caloric intake is 1000 calories daily. Most of the calories come from 1 meal a day, mostly protein. Basically a choice of Chipotle bowl with double chicken, queso and salsa or Chick fila, 7-8 chicken strips. I eat the same stuff every day. In throw in a protein shake here and there. I weigh myself every morning fully dehydrated after the first bathroom break.
2/25 - 190.0 lbs 2/27 - 184.4 lbs (there goes the water) 3/4 - 179.7 lbs (1 week) 3/11 - 175.5 lbs (2 week) 3/16 - 172.8 (almost 3 weeks) I’m on the lowest dose of Ozempic at .25. I have noticed it helps you get full faster and not think food as much during the day. However there’s no getting around that you still feel like shit on a starvation diet. I will bump up to .5 this week and 1.0 in 2 weeks. Yes I know I’m losing muscle too, yes I know this is not healthy, nor is it sustainable. I’m going to do this for another 6 weeks or so. I don’t know what it is, and given the previous experiences I’ve cited above, I’ve NEVER lost weight as fast as I have been over the last 3 weeks on similar diets. |

Thank you. 157.2 lb is the terminal weight, which at 2.5 lb a week is going to come at Week 9, so I’m going to increase the calories starting next week. I don’t need to lose 3-4 lb a week. Maintenance thereafter, will be at 1700-1800.

If anyone is still interested, I am down to 163.5lbs (190 lbs starting weight at end of Feb), took the last few weeks off due to work travel and vacation, ate worse but still lost 1lb. Recalcitrant fat around the stomach and ass seems to stay, weight loss has been harder and harder each week. Lots of muscle loss. Upped Ozempic dose to 1mg from 0.5mg and you really do feel less fatigue and hunger even on a starvation diet. HOWEVER, serious negative effects in the form of nausea. Also the food feels like it stays in your throat. Very uncomfortable. Not going to use it in the future, but since I committed to a weight target will tough it out.

Abs. Sort of. I hit 159.9 lbs today. Haven’t weighed that since first year of college. Strangely though when I did weight loss 3 years ago, I felt more lean at 170 lbs than I do today at 159.9 lbs. So a question for those of you who are dialled in. My basic scale says 21.6% body fat. All of my deposits are in my lower stomach, sides and thighs. Per my scale every pound I lose corresponds with a .5% reduction in body fat. So to get to 10% I’d need to lose over 20 lbs. That would put me at 140 lbs. Something has to be off, 140 lbs for a 5’9 guy is way way too low. Any ideas? That said since end of February, I’ve lost 30 lbs, went from a 35-36 waist down to a 30-31 waist. I have 4 lbs more to go. That way I’ll be 156 lbs dry, 160 lbs even with water weight. Going to take my calories up to 1600 in the next two weeks then start lifting again. We’ll see what upward adjustment needs to happen after that. Finally, for me Ozempic is a one and done. 2 weeks and then I’m off. |

Also, not sure your age, didn’t really read into it too much. Don’t really know the figure either. But if you’re a little older, I’d consider seeing where your testosterone levels are, doesn’t hurt to know. |

A solid workout at 37, considering that your test levels aren’t shot, should be enough to manage a caloric intake north of 1800 without gaining weight especially at 50mins. I’m definitely north of 2000 and on a deficit, my workout are about 45-hr 5 days a week. With that said I typically burn from 500-800 calories. At the end of the day, weight loss is calories in and calories out. But muscle mass and keeping your metabolism healthy is definitely key to getting into the shape (literally) that you’d like. |

Drugs, starvation and large amounts of rapid weight loss as you are doing and have done are unhealthy. Fat pct from a scale is meaningless. Tape and caliper measurements, and photos or self observations are the right methods. You could correlate the tape and caliper numbers to your scale so you have a rough idea. Absolute fat pct numbers are not measurable except for immersion weighing. Vascularity in the extremities and lower torso are indicators of low fat pct. Combine these with tape and caliper numbers. |

OP,post up a pic so I can see your upper body without a shirt and I guarantee you I can give you a more accurate BF% than your scale that measures BF%.
They are notoriously inaccurate;buddy of mine who owns a gym has one he told me to step on it for shits&giggles. I did,it said my BF% was 21&my BMI was 32. Pic below is from the same day. 21% lmfao yup
