308 to 233 in four months is the full Mounjaro effect - the size change landing alongside the scale number makes it real.

17 lbs in 12 weeks at the titration pace you're describing is right on track - the acceleration usually kicks in once you're stable at 1mg for a full cycle.

Pain meds canceling GLP-1 food noise suppression is worth flagging. Opioids specifically counteract the satiety pathway.

Used to skip breakfast and eat around 11-1pm with tons of water, then dinner at 7-8pm. Working on eating earlier away from bed but my workouts are after work so dinner's like 4pm now. Might be one meal 1-4pm or two between 11-4pm a day.

we naturally lose muscle, bone, and fat in our face as we age but we also gain fat in certain spots — getting older's wild. rapid weight loss speeds that up. it's pick your poison: slimmer body and face or fuller everything. i'm choosing health and can always get a good injector for ha later if...

Well done! You’ve really worked hard and it shows!

We just dropped 20 grand on my spouse's tummy tuck, and she wasn't as large as you. Might be time to start saving!

Hey Wild_AF, did you have to pay out of pocket for your GLP-1, or did insurance cover it? Always curious how people are navigating that...
