Sitting and watching sky and birds in total contentment. Feeling less need to prove myself constantly. Maybe it's not just food noise being suppressed, maybe it's everything noise.

That combo should help you shed serious weight. You training with weights too?

If the vial got jostled around it'll do that. The vacuum's still holding, air just got shaken loose. Nothing wrong with it, happens all the time.

I totally understand where you're coming from. For quieter folks it can feel like progress is slower, and that's just how it goes. But honestly your contributions here are solid and worth a lot. Hope I'm saying this right - I genuinely mean it. A forum lives on people showing up and connecting...

Even if you don't plan the higher dose, it's nice knowing you could bring back a full supply abroad.

Started at 295, now at 195, five-ten. I wasn't sure I'd share but seeing other before-and-afters in here gave me the courage to try. It's wild looking back at how far I've actually come, even with more to go.

3 weeks in and you're absolutely crushing it! Solid responder right here.

That's my aim too! So close. Holidays will probably stall things though, won't hit it till after New Year. You did great!

Oh my gosh congratulations you look amazing! If you don't mind me asking how many months did it take before your upper abdomen started changing?

I switched from sema to tirz too and oof, this plateau is real. At 2.5mg I'm basically seeing nothing, so I'm hoping once I jump to 5mg next week things kick back in. Had lost 35 on sema so fingers crossed the new med works better.

I started November 2023 at 307 pounds, standing 5'7", age 63. Now I'm at 170! Went from wearing size 24 jeans down to size 8. This med has transformed my life ever since I discovered I had type 1 diabetes. Still on it for upkeep and everything's fantastic. Hope I can motivate someone else out there.

End point doc picked. Halfway lowest weight height, highest still normal range. Smart, pounds play either goal. Twenty to go. There stay year then maintenance.
