376 to 290 is already a before-and-after - 86 lbs changes every physical system, not just the mirror. The rest of the journey is easier from here.

Feeling cold post-loss is a real physiology shift - body fat is insulation, and 57 lbs down is a meaningful reduction in that layer. The metabolic rate adjustment from caloric restriction adds to it. Both stabilize as the body settles.

BMI dropping from 41 to 25 is the kind of change that takes a while to register as real - the visual in legs tells the story more directly than any number.

I had some really bad gout attacks the first year on Mounjaro. Luckily, they haven't come back.

I have endometriosis, insulin resistance, and a really bad histamine intolerance with heart racing and breathing issues. My blood work always showed high inflammation (CRP over 2.5). All of that is better since I've lost weight and started Mounjaro. My blood work improved, and my symptoms are...

Totally agree. I maxed out credit cards. The insurance companies don't care how much it affects your mental health. They only care about the bottom line.

SW: ~275 CW: ~140 I got a panniculectomy on December 3rd at the same time as a diastasis recti/hernia repair. The left side of my abdominal muscles were wrecked during a spinal surgery and there was a huge gap where my intestines were being held together only by scar tissue. It was causing pain...

I'm happy about the weight coming off so quickly. But now I have loose skin and wrinkles, and I really don't like it. I'm a T2D and went on this for blood sugar and A1c, which are now much better. I just don't like how I look now. Anyone else feel like they need to hide?
