So I've been on it for 5 weeks currently at 2mg and I'm down 18lbs, this is impressive for me especially because in this time my grandfather died there were multiple family issues and my fiancés dad was diagnosed with cancer I would absolutely be eating and drinking the shit out of my feelings normally.
 
Extremely proud of you brother. I do hope that you to take care of your mental health as well as your physical body brother 🙏🏽
 
3.6lbs/week. A tad fast in my opinion. First week was likely water.
Yes probably was water weight the first week, there was a nearly 7 pound drop week 1 which was obviously not fat. It has evened out by now. There is no data to support losing fat at a quick but not crazy rate is harmful. My calorie deficit puts me at about 3.2lbs a week and that's going off of a tdee calculator and not figuring in the 10 miles of cycling I've been doing daily since I started.
 
Incredible work!! Even if it is just water weight to start, you're still putting in the work and keeping up the progress.

The initial massive drop was then the slower weeks after which did not match my calorie deficit was obviously things evening out. Im eating 1700 calories which is sustainable to me I'm not starving and I don't have food aversion I just feel full fast and am able to control my cravings, I can walk by the bowl of candy at the office and not have to use every drop of will power I have to not eat some etc.
