F65 here, losing at a good pace for 5 months. Have you had any issues with extra skin? I'm worried about the 'rolls' still being there when I reach my goal. 😕

Thank you all for the encouragement! It really helps to stay motivated. I know I still have a ways to go, but every pound down is a victory. And yes, I plan to update everyone when I hit the 300s! It feels like such a far-off dream still.

WAY TO GOOOOO! 🎉🎉🎉 And flaunt those jeans 👖💃

Back when I was hospitalized with edema and struggling with both hypercapnia and heart problems, my weight hit a peak of 711 pounds. After starting on semaglutide, then switching to tirzepatide, I was down to 566 pounds, having already shed a lot of fluid. Now, I'm at 460, which I realize...

Wow, just amazing. No offense, but you looked like you were carrying more weight in your before picture. Your success is really something. If you haven't, try adding some weight lifting! Squats or trap bar deadlifts would work wonders and challenge most of your body. Include some rows and...

Fantastic progress!

Wow, Sunny_Cookie390, that's amazing! My A1c is still kinda high even with diet changes. Maybe I should ask my doc about GLP-1 meds too. I'd love to lose some weight, too. It's encouraging to hear it's working for you.

It's the best when you can lose the stomach and keep the girls. Congrats!

I'm starting Tirz next week for insulin resistance. I'm kinda nervous. My doc suggested it. I didnt even ask! A friend gave me a judgy look when I told her. Is that weird?

Kelly_1976, I think I was on it for maybe 6 months during the research trial.

I was actually in a study for it. My doc thinks I was getting the highest dose, 15 mg. My A1c went from almost 9 to 6 and a half. My weight went down, too, from 180 to under 140. But the study ended, and my insurance won't pay for it now. I've been on Victoza for a couple of months, and I've...

Did you change your diet and exercise routine in addition to taking the medication?

That's fantastic! 👏🏻👏🏻

You look amazing! 😯👍

Such a great change! You're seriously glowing in the second pic, I love it 😊💖

It's so good to hear you got back on track after the shortage issues, round-two. I'd be so worried about stalling. Did you find it harder to lose weight after you restarted?

I'm stacking both and wondering about the order - start with tirz or semaglutide first? I did .25 sema and the appetite control isn't where I'd like it yet. We went semaglutide first and are adding tirz this weekend.

You look amazing and your skin is glowing! Keep it up!

With reta and other GLPs, it's more likely to be *pseudo*hypoglycemia (relative hypoglycemia) than actual hypoglycemia. Symptoms similar to low blood sugar, but caused by something else: For your heart, have you tried taurine and CoQ10? I also stay hydrated with electrolytes.

What's your dosage when these panic attacks started? I haven't had that happen with reta, but I've dealt with panic attacks way back. For me, it was things like not enough sleep, too much coffee, or even some over-the-counter cold meds. Might not apply, but just throwing it out there!
