Since January 1st, I’ve been seriously working on losing weight and started using Mounjaro. That means I’m now 19 weeks into my progress.

So far, I’m down 16 kg, which I’m really happy about. I also feel like I’m starting to make progress in the gym. I’m actually quite proud of my arms, even though they’re obviously not huge yet. But progress is progress, and we all need something to work toward. 😉

I also wanted to share my progress here, partly because it’s motivating for me, but also because I’m curious whether others can see the progress Since January 1st, I’ve been seriously working on losing weight and started using Mounjaro. That means I’m now 19 weeks into my progress.

I’m finding it more and more important not just to lose weight, but also to become stronger and build muscle; or at least preserve as much muscle as possible while losing weight.

One goal I’d love to work toward in the future is doing a mud run. I think that would be really cool. The only thing is, I don’t currently have a workout buddy to train with, and I do find that a bit of a shame. I’m also not yet at the level where I feel I could just join CrossFit or Hyrox, but having something to work toward definitely motivates me.

How are you all doing?

How do you approach the combination of losing weight and building muscle? Do you mainly focus on protein, strength training, workout plans, or do you go more by feel?

And honestly: do you see the progress too?

19 Weeks In: 16 kg Down, Getting Stronger, and Working Toward a Mud Run
