Fitting into a dress from 15 years ago is one milestone. The airplane seat without the extension is a different kind of confirmation - the kind that hits mid-flight.

Two years and 20 lbs on 1mg Ozempic with prediabetes is a blood sugar story as much as a weight story - both are moving. Plateau at that dose after two years is natural; 2mg is the next data point.

Congratulations! Keep it up!
