220 to 187 in 8 weeks is a big shift - people often don't say anything until it's undeniable.

The A1c drop from 8.1 to 5.6 is a genuine metabolic turnaround, not just a minor improvement. On the BP tabs question - a lot of people do come off them once weight stabilizes, but that's a call for your doctor based on your actual readings.

Higher dose data is useful for ceiling effects but maps imperfectly to individual response - each person's effective dose window is narrower than trial averages suggest.

I'm thinking about skin removal surgery because of all this loose skin. Has anyone had that done after losing a lot of weight on these meds?

I've lost about 55 pounds. My body looks like a deflated balloon. Excess skin everywhere, and my once-round butt is now completely flat. Ugh.

Definitely increase your protein intake, Yuki2003. That can help preserve muscle mass.

I saw someone mention 300 mcg of Sermorelin before bed paired with 100 mg of Tri-amino. They said they experienced increased lean muscle mass and leaned out even more. Sounds promising!

Congratulations! I love the top you're wearing in the second photo. I'm so happy you're doing so well and showing everyone how fabulous you are.

I don’t even consider ordering in anymore!

Congratulations! You look wonderful. I also have type 2 and plan to stay on Mounjaro indefinitely. Good luck as you continue!

It's all about progress, not perfection, y'all! Celebrate those small victories. I had to throw out some really nice shoes because they were too big!

That's so true. It's like they need to recalibrate their image of you. It's still annoying in the meantime though!

Same here. The first thing people say when they see me is "You've lost so much weight!" I just say "Thanks! I've been working hard." That usually ends it. If they ask how, I'll tell close friends I'm on Mounjaro, but for others, I just say diet and exercise.

I lost weight within the first week. Starting week 3 and I've learned having a calorie deficit along with working out is important. Cutting out junk food helps!

I'm curious for those of you who are on it for the long haul, are you worried about long term effects?
