Weekly Weigh-In: Apologies, Period Week, and Progress Anyway
Some weeks, the scale isn’t the main story.
This week was emotional. Not just because I’m on my period (hi, PMDD), but because I got some feedback on a recent video and I want to start by addressing it. Then I’ll walk you through the weigh-in, tracking wins, and how I’m using my custom GPT and supplements to stay consistent even when everything feels off.
Let's Talk About Dosing and Shame
I never want anyone to feel bad about the dose they’re on.
Some of you reached out after I shared why I’ve stayed at the lowest dose of my GLP-1 medication. That video was meant to explain my journey, how higher doses gave me side effects I wasn’t willing to live with, and how this dose happens to work for my body.
It was never meant to imply that needing a higher dose is wrong. Plenty of people feel nothing until they get to a therapeutic or max dose and that’s valid. What works for me won’t work for everyone, and I hope my channel reflects that. If I made you feel otherwise, I’m genuinely sorry.
Is The GLP1 Girl Code Just for Women?
Kind of, but not because men aren’t welcome.
I got a comment this week from a male viewer asking why the GLP1 Girl Code community is for women. The truth? Most of my content is shaped by my experience as a woman - PMDD, hormones, periods, the whole thing. And when we talk about those things inside the membership, it’s a space where women feel safe sharing stuff that might make men uncomfortable.
But if you’re a man who resonates with what I share, and period talk doesn’t phase you, you’re not unwelcome. Just know the space was built from a women-first perspective.
This Week’s Weigh-In: 180.4 lbs
Last Sunday I weighed in at 181.4, and Monday dipped to 179.0. This morning? 180.4. A solid 1-pound loss for the week and I’m on my period, so I’ll take that as a win.
Next week, I’m expecting to see even more progress. But either way, I’m not weighing again until Sunday. We take the data point and move on.
Period Week = Cravings + Calm Tracking
I started my period Thursday, and yeah, my cravings were louder, my anxiety was higher, and I ate out every single day. But I still lost a pound. Here’s what helped:
I tracked everything in the Pep App using my custom GPT Food Diary, which breaks down calories, carbs, fiber, and protein without me having to repeat myself daily.
I stayed aware, even when things weren’t perfect.
I focused on protein every morning to anchor my day, even if dinner was Taco Bell.

Supriva Saved My Breakfast
I’m obsessed with the Butter Biscuit Supriva flavor, it makes my Greek yogurt taste like cookie dough. Add a scoop of vanilla Isopure protein, some sugar-free cheesecake mix, and a sprinkle of butterscotch chips? Heaven. Not just tasty, also high-protein and fiber-rich thanks to the inulin in Supriva.
You can find all my favorite supplements on this page.
Let’s Talk Protein Goals
I’m not perfect. This week I hit:
Lowest day: 51g
Highest day: 114g
Average: Better than usual
But I still struggle to hit 100g consistently. That’s why I’m working on the August drop inside The GLP1 Girl Code: Protein When You’re Not Hungry. It’s full of easy, no-pressure ideas for getting protein in when nothing sounds good, because we’ve all been there.
Final Thoughts (and a Freebie)
I’m feeling proud of this week. It wasn’t perfect, but I made progress anyway. I tracked, I listened to my body, I didn’t spiral, and I stayed kind to myself, even on a high-craving, high-anxiety period week.

You’ve got this. You’re doing better than you think.
