The roomy jeans are the real indicator - most people shop when the belt stops being enough.

Unflavored isolate plus your own mix-ins is the only way to survive long-term flavor fatigue.

If lower doses were working, returning there is the right call. The titration schedule is a protocol, not a mandate - effective and tolerable beats hitting a target number.

LOL, totally get that! I'm hoping for the same thing.

What an incredible transformation, keep up the great work!

You look amazing! Such a huge difference, congrats!

@[A1C-Slayer], that's a good point about the thyroid. I had mine checked before starting, and it made a big difference to have that baseline. Good luck to everyone on their journeys!

Wow, thanks! You should be so proud. I had a somewhat similar journey in a very similar timeframe! This med gave me a new chapter. Instead of worrying about how I looked and felt in my clothes, now I'm thinking about putting on some muscle, and maybe trying some new styles. Great work!

Started taking it in October of last year, I was around 360 lbs. Today I weigh 147. I've been holding steady for about 3 months now. I bounce between 150 and 160, but I dropped a little more recently because of some stress. So grateful for this med!

It's annoying when people don't understand we still have to work hard, even with the meds. It's a tool, not a miracle!

Okay, let's get political for a sec. In the UK, loads of people pay taxes and NHS contributions, but the NHS often won't give them this med because they don't tick all the boxes. So many have to pay the full price themselves to get healthy. And when Trump jacked up the prices, he didn't care...

It's kinda crazy to think about how old our president is. Born way back in '45... that's like ancient history!

Sure! It's been about 8 months. I did titrate up, but slower than the suggested schedule due to some mild nausea at the higher doses. For exercise, I mostly walk - about 30-45 minutes most days.

Congratulations to you too JuiceSet664! You're doing great!

It's just so wild. After being overweight most of my life, I'm still getting used to my new size. Doing laundry is a trip - the clothes look like they belong to someone else! And when things actually fit, it's a total shock. My brain is still catching up. My weight's been pretty stable...
