I'm totally open about it. Why not? It's helping me take control of my health. I get the 'cheating' comments sometimes, but I just explain that it's a tool to help me manage my appetite and make healthier choices. People need to know this stuff works!

Hey Shed-Boss, that's awesome you're seeing results! Even small changes can make a difference. Just something to keep in mind!

I'd bet it's more about the weight loss itself and less about the medication directly.

You really aren’t supposed to take it thinking you'll do zero exercise.

I started at 394lbs, and in the first month, without any extra activity, I lost 22 pounds on a .25 dose. The next month, I went from 372 to 350, same thing, no extra exercise. Then I started exercising with a .5 dose, walking 10k steps daily. I thought I'd lose even more, but I only lost 11lbs...

I was on 0.5mg for a really long time, like 6 years, before I went up to 1mg (and I've been on 1mg for over a year now). It was working, so I didn't see any reason to increase it. Plus, with the shortages, staying at 0.5mg was a safer bet, until the 1mg pens were back in stock. When Health...

That's exactly what I'm hoping for! What's your maintenance dose?

Thanks everyone for the kind words! SemaGotMe I'm on 1mg of Ozempic. What's been key for me is really focusing on protein. It's curbed my cravings a ton. Also walking 30 mins every day. Nothing crazy but consistency is important!

I've managed to drop from 194 to around 152 since May of last year. It's been a challenge, no doubt, but my energy levels are way up, and I just feel so much better, both physically and mentally. Honestly, for me, it's almost more of a mental health boost than anything! Getting closer to feeling...

Total glow-up!

Thanks for asking The_IMO! I focus on making sure I get enough protein. Usually that is greek yogurt for breakfast with some fruit and nuts, a salad with chicken for lunch, and then fish or chicken with veggies for dinner. I also try to find healthy snacks like protein bars or fruit to keep from...

How did I become *more* attractive? I'm so happy!

I've managed to shed 91 pounds over the past two years and I'm feeling amazing. I'm hoping to drop a few more pounds still. I actually started a weight-loss Instagram account. Any other users who'd like to follow each other's journeys? I'm posting recipes, progress updates and, if I ever get...

You look lovely.

Beautiful lady!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support! To answer a few of the questions, it's been about 16 months since I started, and I'm currently on the highest dose of Mounjaro. Yes, I definitely have some loose skin, especially around my stomach. I'm hoping it improves with time and exercise, but...

Peptide_Sis Thanks! Congratulations on your own progress! So glad to hear you are experiencing success.

HW: 240lbs, current weight: 135lbs, target weight: 130lbs. I'm 5'5" and 37 years old. I honestly can't believe that I'm only a few pounds away from my final goal after battling obesity since I was very young. Sometimes I'm startled by my own reflection! I hope my journey can be inspiring for...

I prefer injecting before going to sleep because it tends to make me drowsy a couple of hours after. So, I take advantage of that and inject right before bed.

Your entire path brought you here. Now your body's working smarter and the best is definitely ahead.
