    Just found your channel. I'm also a Dasher from Texas. I've been on Monaco for over a year. I was on Ozempic but I had bad side effects from it. I was at 213 lbs I'm now at 189lbs. I'm diabetic that's my reason for taking it. Good luck on your journey.

      Aww thank you and welcome 🤗
      Yes I have heard Ozempic has more side effects. I am so glad you are losing and I’m hoping you like the dashing videos too ☺️

    Just found you, liked your week 1 video. I'm 8 weeks into Zepbound, started at 284 lbs. What got my attention was your ADF, I've tried that in the past, it was very hard to stick to but now that I'm on Zepbound I figured I'd try the ADF in conjunction with the shot. It works. It totally works. I'm down -37 lbs in 7 weeks. The Zepbound allows me to easily do ADF. I track everything I eat in the Lose It app. I avoid all the foods that they say brings on side affects (sugar, alcohol and high fat greasy foods), I make sure I drink plenty of water and I eat the highest fiber foods (aiming for 50 grams a day, including some fiber supplements). I haven’t felt this good in years. I will continue to follow you and i believe you (and I) will do well. ❤

      Aghh thank you! Appreciate the support and comment. I have been sticking to more OMAD but you are so right it really does help having the medication in conjunction with fasting. The brain gets switched off and it’s amazing! Wow you are doing so well! I think I am on week 5 and haven’t weighed for a while but I was down 4kg which is around 10lbs 🥰🥰

    Hey Nic! If you live in Canada this option wouldn’t be able for you. I would discover all my options too. I completely understand you. Good for you to give it a try. It’s nice that just once a week you have to inject yourself. Some of us need a little more help than others. Really rooting for you!

      Thank you lovely. Appreciate you and your support. I’m giving it my best shot and so far so good. Hope you had a lovely Christmas 🥰

    Hi Nic!
    Congratulations on the weight loss success. I’m so happy it’s working for you. 👍
    Anyone that has followed your channel or paid any attention to what you say on your channel, would know that you have been completely honest with your intentions. I for one know how hard you’ve tried to lose weight. And if getting on this medication is going to help you get to a healthier weight and be happy with yourself, then I don’t see why you shouldn’t do what you feel is best for YOU!
    I for one can not do the weight loss medications for medical reasons, but I don’t blame anyone for trying them if that’s what they decide to do. Let the haters hate! You do you! I wish you the best of success and I’m always going to be rooting you on. 🎉
    Even if your next thing is the cotton ball diet! 😂

    Also watch "Aimee May" she's kost -70 lbs on Mounjaro and she's in the UK, you'll love her! I almost forgot to tell you, I've had NO SIDE EFFECTS! I think its because i make sure i get enough fiber. 😊

    • @DashwithNic
      @DashwithNic  12 днів тому +2

      Oh yes I think I have been watching bc her too… she is great. Yes Fibre so important but it’s hard to get enough when you are not eating as much. I have noticed lately that I am getting more hungry so I think it’s time to increase the dose ( I’m so scared though)

    I've lost 2 stone in the first 3 weeks. I was put on it for type 2 diabetes, to control my sugar. So the weight loss is a bonus I guess. I was 16 stone and am now down to14. I am still technically still obese at 13.5 stone. This said I have stopped drinking lager, which I really haven't felt like drinking since I started the injections. I was drinking 3 or 4 cans a night every night. I had a couple of cans one night a week or so ago and felt sick after the second can and really haven't wanted ones since. I am developing a green tea habit. I would think the drinking is largely responsible but the injection has really affected what I eat. I have to make a conscious effort to eat something as I don't seem to get as hungry. I've got one 2.5 mg shot to go then on to 5mg the next week. I'll have to see how I go as the 2.5 has got my sugar down in the 4's and 5's and hypo-ing regularly.

      @DashwithNic  6 днів тому +1

      Wow you are doing so well!! I am on week 6 and the weightloss is pretty slow. I have found I am getting used to the 2.5mg but I also like it as I’m still not eating as much. I think next week I will increase to 5mg but I am scared of how I’ll feel. Good luck you are doing amazing

    Just found your channel and looking forward to following your journey. I’m in 🇬🇧 and on MJ and was wondering how you’re getting 2.5 from a 10mg pen as over here once started a pen has to be used within 30 days?

    • @DashwithNic
      @DashwithNic  10 днів тому +1

      Hello 👋
      Thanks for the support. Wow that’s crazy maybe it’s the government trying to get more money? Mine goes in the fridge and says morning about using within a certain day? My doctor even said my pen will last me 3-4 months so must be ok? Thanks bff if the support. I have sort of changed my content lately to vlogging but will out updates up hopefully in the next month or two. At the moment it is really steady of 0.5kg loss. I might need to up my dose to 5mg soon. How about you? ☺️

    • @amomentwithgod5607
      @amomentwithgod5607 10 днів тому +1

      @ thanks for replying, I think it is that they want to make more money! I’ve been on Wegovy and Mounjaro for a year with a couple of breaks and have lost just under 3 stones (19kg). Back on it now after a break and on 2.5 weekly which works well for me. I count calories too using Nutracheck. The only side effect I really have is some acid reflux. Good luck on your journey and ignore the trolls! 👊

    • @DashwithNic

      @ thank you ☺️
      Wow you have lost a lot! Well done. I am still sitting on the fence about going up to 5mg. 2.5mg numbs the food eating but not majority and is cheaper lol
      Thanks again appreciate you x

    Am wondering, why did you go to visit your Doctor Nic?

    • @DashwithNic

      I was getting some pain in my ovaries as I keep getting cyst 😞

  • @el_carbonara
    @el_carbonara Місяць тому +3

    seems like a dream to not be thinking about eating all the time. Did your doc seem to care about your initial BMI as a prerequisite for getting the dose? I think it is a bit unfair only people above a certain BMI can get it (not really sure if that is the case now) but I am not really a huge BMI but I really want to try it for my own sanity

    • @DashwithNic
      @DashwithNic  Місяць тому

      She didn’t measure my BMI until after she prescribed my medications. I don’t think it was a major deal. She just knew how I was dieting and she probably saw I had few kg to lose so didn’t need to check. I think every dr is different. My doc is really good and she is so keen to crack the obesity crisis and think mounjaro is one of the better weightloss drugs. Keep me posted and thanks for your support 🙌

    I understand you want the easy way out…not willing to put in hard work with willpower, diet, and exercise. You’ve done it before, you can do it again. Just say the truth and be honest with your viewers. Unsubscribed

    • @DashwithNic
      @DashwithNic  Місяць тому +9

      Thanks for your kind words! You sound like a lovely happy person 😂.
      You honestly don’t know me and I am glad you have left my channel as I don’t need narrow minded subscribers. IF you have been following me for a while you would have known I have done nothing but try the above. Years and years of battling diets. Losing weight and then gaining back within weeks! Saying it’s the cheats way… you honestly think putting chemicals in my body was my first choice?!! It is called a helping hand as I have tried everything! Also I have been nothing but honest on my channel.
      I could have easily have pretended I was not on this drug but I was being upfront and honest!
      Oh by the way - I am still dieting and exercising but now I have some help without battling my mind!
      Goodbye and good luck with your narrow minded views- you will get far in life!

      You literally said this a month ago Nic;
      “Yeah I would rather be over weight than take those drugs that have serious side effects. I cannot take drugs my body is way too sensitive. Anyway each to their own and not knocking anyone who goes down the drug route but it isn’t me. I’ll keep plodding along hopefully get in the right mind space. I have done it before so hope to get back there! It’s certainly a challenge ☺️“

      @@AbbyGarcia-zd4oz what has this got to do with me being not honest??I said in my last video I used to think ( LIKE YOU) I could do it alone and I didn’t need help…. BUT I am allowed to change my mind and I did my research. I never thought I would be plant based/vegan years ago… so does this mean I should be ashamed of changing my thoughts/actions?
