I dipped under 200lbs this past week for the first time in a few years! Down just over 30lbs total. Such a great feeling.

That's the goal! I want my doc to be aware and monitor my bloodwork, even if I'm not getting the meds directly through her. It's about harm reduction and being responsible.

Impressive! At what dose did you start noticing the biggest changes?

I also want my PCP to oversee my tirz use, and to have it documented in my medical history. But, I actually haven't told her about where I get it from. She keeps sending scripts to that specific pharmacy and I just ignore their texts. 😂 When she asks if I require a refill, I say I don't. 🙃...

That's fantastic! You must be thrilled. Congrats!

And what about the food noise? My spouse realized what 'normal' people's relationship with food is like. She struggled with that constant background noise, even when she was successful. Reducing that mental load, plus all the other benefits? No reason for someone like her to stop taking at least...

Exactly! Especially when they grab a 500-calorie smoothie on the way out of the gym!

Agreed 1000%! It's a big difference. My spouse and I are both on GLP1s, but we approach it differently. We've lost the same amount of weight, but I use a body comp scale daily to track fat % loss vs lean/muscle gain %. I'm working out every day and seeing about an 8% loss in fat mass and a...

I realized this when I was losing a pound a day just by fasting. Zero exercise. 21 days without food. That was last fall. I've been on a journey since then to unlearn everything I was told about diet and exercise. Only *I* control what I become. No one else is responsible for what I put in or...

I read a study ages ago about the few people who managed to keep the weight off long-term. The key? They totally reorganized their lives around maintaining their weight. It was their top priority, above everything else. Skipping dinner out with family? No problem. Missing a workout for a family...

Well if that's the gospel truth, it's a strong argument for staying on these things indefinitely. Some folks are totally against the idea though...

Why hand someone else the keys to how you feel about yourself? That's just giving away your power. Do what works for your health and let all that noise fade away.

It's so inspiring to see long-term success stories. I've been on a GLP-1 for about 18 months now, down around 80lbs, and hitting maintenance is definitely the next big goal. Any tips for that transition, TrimSis?

Fantastic work!

That's a great point, Donut. I find that being prepared is half the battle. I invested in a high-powered blender and now make protein shakes with frozen fruit and greens. It's a game-changer!

Those low sugar ice creams can be pricey. This week, I went ahead and purchased a dessert machine. I've been experimenting with blending my regular protein shakes and creating ice cream. It's proving to work rather well. Also, sugar-free yogurt transforms into a very smooth ice cream.

That's seriously fast progress! Keep it up!

Amazing transformation! Also, your hair looks fantastic in the recent pic.

Massive congrats!

Been here two years, hit new me milestone. Totally reorganized life around weight maintenance. Was top priority above everything. One stranger saying I'm genuinely proud.
