The weight loss has finally leveled out. 2lbs a week is the perfect amount to drop safely and healthy.

 1.6mg Victoza and 2x5ml Anavar daily seems to be the magical mixture I needed.  

I'm able to lift heavier and longer, adding extra weight and doing 3 sets of 10 and on the last set lift until failure.  

Starting today I will be adding actual measurements to watch my progress, not just what the bathroom scale reads. 

 It's an amazing motivator to look at the before pictures and see all the changes my body has gone through already. 3 months at the gym has done more to help sculpt the body I want then just a healthy diet alone. 

I should also add that it's a great way to burn off aggression lol

Are you taking the MK? Because the exhaustion can be coming from a variety of sources. If you're taking the MK during the day - expect to be tired and lethargic. My main assumption is the lack of food. I understand from what you're posting (as I'm not too familiar with Victoza to comment) that you have no appetite, have you thought about introducing any low dosed stimulants (not the best option,BUT its an option). I would say the Anavar is a great addition, in the very least to help maintain nitrogen retention.

I'm curious are you guys taking any other measurements for progress other than the scale? Like calipers? Dexas? Etc...

Thankfully my appetite is coming back so I'm able to get 1200 calories in a day ( I read that's the maximum I should have in a day to effectively drop the weight)  The fatigue  could be side effects from the Victoza, I'm not 100% sure.   It's a great drug for losing weight but there are a lot of side effects.

 I dont mean to sound dumb  but I dont know what MK is. Sorry. I'm still really new to all this, still in the learning phase.

 Right now I'm just using my bathroom scale to measure weight loss. I'm not sure what calipers or Dexas are. 

My husband did tell me that I'm supposed to be taking 2 Anavar daily so I will be increasing the dosage today

I've been taking VAR ( 5mg pill once a day)  for about a week and haven't noticed any real changes, positive or negative, other then fatigue. Pre workout just isnt cutting it so I'm going to have to find something else to help battle this never ending exhaustion.

 I'm still taking the Victoza every day which is helping the weight loss. A total of 6 pounds in less then 2 weeks.  

 Not much else to log. Not a lot of progress to report.

Wow! What a noticeable difference. Keep up the good work!

The start is always the hardest. But when you start seeing and believing yourself it becomes addictive. 

Consistency is the key. SometimesI tell my wife to just go to the gym and not worry about a program or how much weight she's lifting. Just and go and do what you want at a weight and pace that you want. She ends up having some of her best workouts.

 

Thanks Consistency has always been my biggest issue. I tend to quit when I don't see the results I think I should be seeing. This time I have more realistic goals. Plus I agreed to a work out partner lol Finally after all these years I agreed to work out with the Hubby.  On days I dont want to go he gives me the boost I need to suck it up and get my ass moving.

Are you new to working out? Or just getting back at it?

I used to work out years ago. But , I didnt work out to gain muscle,  I did it to stay small. Then I blew my knee out and gained close to 80 pounds. 

Now I'd like to drop the fat and gain so some muscle. 

Progress photos from March and October. I'd like to add new progress photos every month.

Welcome to the board! And good luck on your run will be following the log

Thanks  

I was told I need to log again today. Not really sure what to say. 

I am down 5lbs since my first post. I have 38 pounds to go. I haven't started my cycle of Var yet, thanks for that Canada Post.

 My husband posted today's workout in his log. 

Yesterday was triceps/biceps 

Today was shoulders

Tomorrow is back ( I really dislike tomorrow already) 

Lifting weights is definitely getting a little easier and I was able to increase the weights this week (so far)

Oh I agree, completely.  I'd rather drop 2 pounds a week healthy and keep it off then the 5 pounds I dropped in 6 days.  But unfortunately I'm still in the early side effects stage of the medication my Dr  prescribed making eating anything a challenge. I'm never hungry and when I do eat I get really nauseous.  So I am forcing as much food into as possible right now. Thankfully , these side effects should stop by week 2. Then I can go back to eating a normal healthy diet. 

My husband wants me to post in this log so bare with me lol I've never done this before. I tend to ramble lol 

 I've been on Victoza for 3 days and the side effects are brutal but the results are worth it. The nausea is constant, makes eating anything a struggle. But its important to push past it and eat small amounts throughout the day. The dizziness subsided after day 2 and I feel exhausted all the time.But I've dropped 4lbs in 2 days. To me this injectable medication is a miracle. 

 With the gym 1hour a day 5 days a week, the healthy diet and this medication the weight should FINALLY melt off. I'm excited to add the Var my husband has told me about.

 Since the Victoza a full day of eating looks like this:

Breakfast: Coffee , 1peice of toast or a banana ( used to be a protein shake but not since the medication)

Gym : 1 hour

lunch: half an apple.or an egg 

snack: 4 cashews 

dinner: 4 ounces of chicken breast or 4 oz of steak and some sort of veggie ( carrots, broccoli etc, no potatoes)

Not a lot I know, but with this medication I have no appetite. 

I'm hoping with time the side effects will go away and I'll be able to add more food. 

 I hope I didnt ramble too much lol
