Lots of questions here, I'll try to get to them all. For those asking about maintenance, I stayed on a low dose for a few months after I hit my goal. Now I'm off it completely, focusing on diet and exercise to maintain. It's definitely doable!

Definitely agree with StubbornFat83 - the confidence boost is amazing! I'm about the same height as you, 5'1", and started my semaglutide treatment a few days ago. My goal is the same - reach a healthy BMI and get my cholesterol down. It's inspiring to see your results!

It's so important to remember everyone's journey is different. Seeing someone at a 'healthy' weight doesn't mean they were healthy *getting* there, or that they feel good. My labs are better with GLP-1s than they've been in years!

Alright everyone, sharing my journey! I went from a size 18 to a size 6, losing a little over 100 pounds. My workout style? Think intense circuit training. I hit classes because the group setting keeps me accountable. My goal is to push harder each time. Remember, we all start somewhere. I was...

Beautiful before and after! I liked my heavier figure, but my arthritis and cholesterol didn't!

That must feel incredible! I can just imagine the joy and satisfaction of needing to make a *new* hole in your belt to keep it fitting! Well done 💪🏻🫶🏻

I've got an old belt from when I was probably 85-90 pounds heavier. I've added a bunch of holes and lost about a foot from my waist. It's like a trophy of my progress!

I'm hoping to drop at least 50 pounds like you did, Shed-Boss! My doctor is super supportive, but it's always good to hear real-world experiences.

Right now, I'm just focusing on diet changes, but I'm planning to start incorporating some light exercise soon!

I'm only a week in and already stressing that it won't work for me. Thanks for posting this and giving me hope!

Tested several brands, all worked fine. Check accuracy with water filled cartridges on a decent scale. Full cartridge is about eight point five grams. Use old towels and reuse cartridges and needles with distilled water. Inject five to ten doses into the towel to see dose differences and accuracy.

Thanks, everyone! I will!

Wow, you radiate happiness and health!

I've dropped 33 pounds in eight weeks on this medication, and honestly, I'm struggling to see a difference. Maybe it's because I had a lot to lose to begin with? Here are four comparison photos, the first two are from when I started, and the others are recent.

Got what I needed coming soon. First time on a GLP-1. Want to thank everyone here. Aiming for seventy pounds down.

I've been wondering about those additives in compounded stuff. My provider now offers Tirzepatide with Niacinamide, Glycine/B12, or B6. I'm not sure which one to pick or how it would affect things. Anyone know?

It might be because the vials are overfilled, so you're dosing higher than you think. My compounded sema 2.5mg did nothing, but the grey market stuff I definitely felt. And this was using a well-known compounding pharmacy working with my doctor.

It's interesting how many people jump to "extreme" dieting. Sustainable change is usually about consistency, not deprivation.

Well done! 👏👏👏

What an inspiring journey!
