Yeah, echoing what others have said, over 3lbs a week is FAST. And you kept titrating up aggressively which tanked your calories. Unless you were using other hormones, I'm not sure why you thought you'd keep muscle. There are different ways to approach this, but following the trial titration...

It often starts working better around 1mg...

That's why a lot of people explore other avenues. If you decide to go that route, do your research. There are online forums dedicated to GLP-1 medications where users share their experiences and findings. Some even do independent lab tests to verify quality. Just be careful.

Congrats!!! And, on a completely unrelated note, that pair of pants in the last photo are fabulous!

Congrats! 🎉

Down from 225 to 170, starting maintenance dosing this week.

I know that feeling! It's such a relief. I also find that I'm not craving junk food as much, which makes it easier to stick to a healthy diet.

When I see posts like this, I just want to cry happy tears for you. I know what a big shift this is for you and what possibilities it opens up. I'm so happy for you. It also makes me feel sad that more people can't get access to these medications. They really do turn lives around. I know it...

I saw someone else post on here on Reddit that they hit their goal weight after about 10 months. Started at 155lbs and got down to 104.6lbs. Height was 5'0". Said maintenance is gonna be interesting!

Almost a year! Fantastic job, friend!

Big congrats! Great job. Keep it up!

For those considering stopping, remember that many people regain the weight. One study showed that a large percentage gain all or more back within a few years. Long-term success requires serious, sustainable lifestyle changes.

Exactly. I totally agree on food prep, an exercise plan, and making better choices.

It's important to have realistic expectation, and sustainable habits. The medication is an adjunct, but lifestyle modification is critical to long-term success.

It was clearly worth the time, effort and money. It is great to see it pay off for you. Congratulations.

I've seen very different experiences reported on Reddit. Some people had to stop and then had a really bad reaction when they tried to resume at the same dose, even needing the ER. Others stopped and then it just didn't work anymore. Either way, I'd hold off on taking a break until you've...

A resounding success.

Happy GLP-1 anniversary!
