Mounjaro - Week 15 - The unimaginable?

I've been using Mounjaro tirzepatide via weekly injection for 15 weeks now. It's hard to believe I'm almost at my goal weight. I really never thought I'd see the day. Below is a daily journal of the foods I eat and what happens when. I'm still struggling with a few of the side effects of this medication. Constipation is the most frustrating one!

Blood sugar – 122
Week 15 update:
Starting blood sugar: 474
Blood sugar high: 122 (today)
Blood sugar low: 71 (Weds)

Weight this week (Week 14): 166.4 lbs
Weight last week (Week 13): 169.6 lbs
Gain/loss this week: -3.2 lbs

Starting weight 225-250 lbs (not real sure as I stopped getting on the scale past the 220 lbs milestone. Denial is a real thing y’all).
Starting weight day 1 of Mounjaro (Week 1) 185 lbs. Began Mounjaro for the Type 2 diabetes primarily. Losing some lbs would be a bonus.
