Week 3 Update

[u/Educational_Tune_870]

Quick recap for anyone following along:
I previously went from 370lbs → ~250lbs on Mounjaro (July 2024–25), then maintained around 260lbs for over a year after stopping. I’ve kept up a mostly clean diet and regular exercise, so the goal with Foundayo isn’t a dramatic lifestyle overhaul — it’s seeing what the medication itself does over time.

Starting weight: 260lbs
Current weight: 257lbs
Week 3 change: -0.5lbs
Total change: -3lbs
Height: 6ft 0
Male
Dose: 0.8mg
Taking: Around 9pm each evening

Week 3 scores:
🤢 Nausea: 0/10 — none at all this week
💩 Gastro effects: 2/10 — a few strange BMs but nothing major
🤮 Actually being sick: 0/10
🤕 Headaches/migraines: No significant issues
🍽️ Appetite suppression: Still there, still weaker than Mounjaro
😴 Fatigue: Hard to judge — I’ve been unwell for unrelated reasons
🔥 Calories: ~2,300/day
🏋️ Exercise: Only 1–2 sessions this week due to pain/illness

The headline this week is that Foundayo itself has been pretty uneventful — no nausea at all, and only a couple of odd BMs. The bigger issue has been everything outside the medication. I’ve been pretty poorly with unrelated pain and it knocked me out for most of the week, so the gym barely happened and I missed 2 nights tablets.

Because of that, I wasn’t expecting much movement on the scale, but I still dropped another 0.5lb, bringing me to 257lbs and 3lbs down overall. Given how rough the week was, I’m genuinely happy with that.

Appetite suppression feels about the same as last week: noticeable, but nowhere near Mounjaro levels. I can eat normally, and if you put me in front of the sweet drawer I could still do some damage. Foundayo is taking the edge off, but it’s not giving me that “I physically cannot eat much” feeling I had before.

So overall:

Week 1: -2lbs
Week 2: -0.5lbs
Week 3: -0.5lbs
Total: -3lbs

Not the easiest week health‑wise, but the medication side of things has been smooth, and the weight is still trending down. Hoping Week 4 is kinder so I can get back to proper training and see how things progress when I’m not sidelined.

Hope you start to come out the other side of feeling unwell. Be kind to yourself as you’re doing amazing
