Make sure you're getting enough protein and doing some resistance training! That should help prevent muscle loss.

Keep it up! You're doing great!

Way to go!! Keep it up! You got this!

It's amazing what these meds can do. I dropped about 80 pounds and my blood pressure is way better. My A1C went from 6.8 to 5.4. I feel like I can actually breathe now!

So true! They are life-changing. Thanks for the links! 👍

This stuff is absolutely amazing. Seriously!

I agree with Stretching_Pennies, sometimes the compounded stuff just isn't the same. I swear it's underdosed or something. I switched back to brand name and it was like night and day.

Thanks, everyone! To answer WellGuy, I'm not sure what happened with the stretch marks. Maybe they just faded naturally as I lost weight?

So inspiring!

I gotta say, the way I see myself has been all over the place during this whole process. Thinking about conceiving again next spring, so this is my last month on the meds. I finally made myself take some before/after pics. I swear, I thought I looked exactly the same as last summer. Turns out...

I was on the highest dose for a bit, but I had to scale back because the side effects were rough. As for diet? I've really focused on protein and vegetables. It’s not always easy, but it helps!

It took me about 14 months to get to my goal. It was a journey, not a race!

What's your maintenance dose like? Or are you off the medication completely? I'm getting close to my goal, so I'm curious to hear how others are managing to maintain their weight on or off sema.

No longer need my hypertension meds! I can actually breathe deeply. I’m definitely feeling stronger. Sometimes I look in the mirror and it’s like, who *is* that? So proud of how far I've come in just over a year. It's so inspiring seeing everyone else's success and confidence blossom! We...

I had a pair of jeans like that! I kept them for years because I loved them, even though they didn’t fit. Then one day, I tried them and they were too *big*. Gave them away.

I pretty much live in leggings lately (thanks, kids!), but I’m looking forward to treating myself to new pants when I lose more weight lol.
