Stayed on the standard titration plan of 4 weeks at each level till I hit 8mg. Around 6mg the food chatter quieted but 8 was truly the game changer-dropped 30 pounds over roughly 8-10 weeks. Now at goal weight and hunting for the right maintenance level. Don't give up, it's worth sticking with...

Thanks everyone for the support! It really does help to have this community.

That's incredible!

Good day all, I got back from strolling around my property, shouting "one hundred pounds!" at the top of my lungs. For a while now, I told myself that when I reached 100 pounds lost, I'd make some noise in my neighborhood. Well, today's the day. I still have another 75-ish pounds to go, but...

It's interesting how much GLP-1s shift your whole relationship with food and exercise. Like, I *know* I need to move more to retain muscle while losing weight, but the med makes it less of a mental battle to actually get out there.

Amazing. You look incredible.

It's funny how people react to weight loss. I've dropped about 45 pounds, going from around 195 to 150 at 5'7". The last 20 or so were with a GLP-1 because my meds messed with my appetite. My BP is finally behaving itself, and I feel great. But some people keep telling me to stop losing weight...

You look really happy in your update pic! I still have a ways to go, and I find it encouraging to see great results.

That's really interesting about dancing! I have a friend who says she can now play with her kids without getting winded. Small victories make a big difference. She's using one of the newer weight management meds, might be why.

I can relate, JerseyGirl_Health. I haven't told many people. It's nobody's business, really. If people ask how I've lost weight, I just say I'm watching portions and limiting carbs. It's the truth!

Congratulations!! I totally understand that feeling of thinking never to be under 200lbs again. Great job so far and good luck reaching your ultimate goal!

I understand that feeling. I wasn’t able to walk all the way up to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. My sweetie went up without me. It was our anniversary trip, and I wasn’t feeling sexy or beautiful. I carry excess weight in my face also. I wish I could redo that trip as the woman I am...

That's fantastic, congratulations! Wishing you and your fiancee a long, happy, and healthy life together.

I'm very interested in the skin removal surgery. Did your health insurance cover it? How difficult was the recovery? How noticeable are the scars? Do you have any regrets about getting it done? Congrats on your weight loss!

I've read that Tirzepatide, which includes medications like Mounjaro, works by activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. I saw a presentation by an endocrinologist, Dr. Blevins, that showed people can see an average weight reduction of 35-52 lbs. It's good to understand how these meds work!

Wow, what an incredible story! The results are amazing, and I feel the same way. You're such an inspiration! Congratulations!

First day on 5mg tirzepatide, and my digestive system is having a party... a really bad one. Went from feeling okay to 'oh god, any sudden movement will be a disaster' in about an hour. I thought I was being dramatic. Nope. I'm now in a committed relationship with the toilet. My cat is judging...

I've noticed it takes a few weeks to acclimate to each new dosage. Also, I've found that avoiding processed foods, especially anything fried or greasy, makes a huge difference. My system just can't handle it on this medication.

Have you considered peptides? I've heard good things about Sermorelin for dealing with stubborn fat. Someone I know uses 300 mcg before bed and says it's helped a lot with fat loss and gaining muscle.

Wow!! You look amazing!
