My clothes are too big!

That's a rough doctor. If you struggled with obesity before the med, why would it be different now? Your body's gonna fight hard to get that weight back. You're in a vulnerable spot. Should at least be on a maintenance dose for a few years.
 
Haha I'm right there with you on the wardrobe thing. Jeans that were impossible last year now feel like sweatpants. New bras were worth it but everything else? Meh. Once you hit goal maybe splurge on some proper summer stuff.
 
Just started HGH at two IU, sleep quality jumped immediately, dosing at five-thirty am. Fifteen pounds from goal, scale moving slow but clothes are looser which is encouraging. Like how things are going so far.
 
That's the fun part - wardrobe shopping as you shrink. Either tailors get rich or you end up refreshing your whole closet. Either way, it's a good problem to have.
 
The loosening skin during active loss is expected - the composition shift is happening faster than the skin can adapt. Adding resistance work now shapes the underlying structure that determines what the fit looks like once the loss stabilizes.
 
From 7xl to small is genuinely one of the most remarkable measurements of a journey I've heard. The 'actually fit' part is worth celebrating too - not just technically the right number but actually comfortable. That's a completely different wardrobe and a completely different relationship with shopping.
 
Buy a few basics now and don't wait for perfect dose - the size you wear in the middle of the loss is part of the journey, not a waste. The appetite suppression on a compounded product can continue shifting your size for another 6-12 months and wardrobe decisions made at each stage don't have to be permanent investments. A handful of well-fitting basics right now beats wearing oversized clothes for another 6 months because you're waiting for the final number.
 
The 'wait until goal to actually restock' strategy is the right one - going through three sizes of work pants is painful enough without buying a full wardrobe at each stop. Even getting to within 10 lbs of goal and then refreshing makes more sense than restocking mid-journey.
 
Scaling from 42s to 38s to a stack of 36s that are almost ready is such a concrete measurement system. The elastic-before-all-of-that detail adds context on how long the journey has been. Welcome to the clothes-that-don't-fit problem - it's a great one to have.
