The HR uptick on reta while on afib meds is worth a specific check with your cardiologist. Most have a clear view on GLP-1s by now.

Trusting the process through the plateau months is the real work. The noise from other people tends to peak right around when the scale goes quiet - which is usually when things are still happening below the surface.

The band dropping while the cup holds is the common pattern - the chest wall and ribcage slim first. Most people eventually see the cup follow later as overall composition changes. Still, 40JJ to 34JJ is a meaningful shift.

got some loose skin, bit of thigh jiggle & belly jelly but i'm down 40 lbs at 5'2", 140. been on ozempic 2.5 years at 1mg twice a week now. insurance covers it, $60 copay every 3 months. only real downside is some diarrhea & some days i just forget to eat.

I think that's really key. I realized I had stopped liking myself and I was making bad choices as a result. Hope I can get where you are!

Just started week four and I’m stunned by how amazing this is. Shuts off the food noise (or food screaming?) almost completely. Alcohol use down a lot. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I started my first dose today, just the starter one. I don't really feel anything yet. My doc put me on it because my hormones are a mess and I can't drop weight. Hoping this helps with cravings and maybe some weight loss too!

Congratulations on your success. You're living life to the fullest now. Enjoy 😊

What a journey you've been on! I'm so happy you've reached your goal after all this time. Good for you for sticking with it and congratulations!

That's amazing! I hope you're feeling as good as you look!

Wow GingerChews4Life that’s amazing! I hope I get to experience that someday. I’m on week 2 of this medication and I’m already feeling so much better.

Congratulations Chris02! I'm a bit nervous about starting, but I hope to be as successful as you. It's really encouraging to hear success stories!

I felt like I could never tell when I was losing weight but everyone else would comment.

For me, the key was lots of water, and making sure I got enough protein and fiber. And some kind of exercise to keep my muscles strong!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It's been a journey!
