Down 100+ lbs, off meds 6 months!

I stopped waiting for my doctor's approval. Was on four blood pressure meds when I started tirzepatide. Checked my BP several times daily, adjusting my lifestyle to keep readings around 110-120/60-70. Over six months, my weight dropped and BP came down. Now I'm medication-free at 105/70. Six-month check-ins worked for me.

The pace does feel slow watching others drop huge numbers fast. Most of us are more like one pound weekly, and thats actually healthier for keeping it off long term. Appreciate posts like yours.

truly life-changing. lost about 100lbs, way better than i hoped. got me into healthy BMI range. weight finally stabilized so i'm lowering my dose. if rashes develop under belly flap, get them documented. insurance won't pay for skin removal without documented issues not responding to treatment.

Reta and Tirz across 10 months down 100 lbs, then 6 months off and holding - the cravings returning 'not like before' is the real indicator that the habits held. That's the test the active phase was building toward.
