This week, we’re deep into week 8, and Jon has officially bumped up to a 1 mg dose—breaking through a long plateau with a 1.1 kg drop! 🎉 Charlene, steady on 0.5 mg, checks in from a family holiday in Umhlanga Rocks and reflects on the unique chaos of parenting vacations, the creeping return of hunger, and… digestive real talk.
