I agree with I'd bump up the dose, too. Sounds like you had a great first month. Keep the ball rolling!

Stick with it! Your doctor and Reddit seem to agree. If your weight loss stalls for a couple of weeks, you can always increase the dose.

I think it's smart to stretch the doses as much as you can. I stayed on 0.25 as long as possible

If it's working, that's all that matters. I personally prefer 0.25mg every 9 or 10 days myself.

For me, my portions ended up being about half of what I normally ate. Really listen to your body and stop when you feel full. It's more of a mental adjustment than I thought. If your brain says "I'm pretty full, but there's only a couple bites left..." just stop eating!

It's amazing how big of a difference clothes can make! I've been meaning to try on a few older items I haven't been able to fit into for a while now. I bet it'll give me a nice boost!

It's such a rush, isn't it?! Congrats, I'm so happy for you ❤️ I've gone from a size 22 to a 14 myself! Still got a ways to go, though, since my weight loss is kinda uneven, lol.

Tirz is awesome. I'm a 60-year-old male, 6'0". Started at 201 lbs and dropped to 171 lbs in 3 months on just 2.5mg of tirzepatide. Eventually, the weight loss slowed, but that's just because I didn't have much excess fat left to lose. It was amazing. Week 2 hit me with major constipation...

Fantastic work. You look like you've taken ten years off, too!

Yay! Congrats!!

This sort of before-and-after really demonstrates the power of consistency. Updates like these are encouraging and help everyone stay the course when progress seems slow. You should think about putting this on that other forum the community; I'm sure people would really appreciate it.

I'm on 12.5mg and have been for over 7 months. I've only had occasional and minor side effects. People usually don't post when things are going smoothly! Like, why would you? Totally normal. Don't worry about it. Track and enjoy!

I agree with LightCookie, non-scale victories like clothes fitting better are amazing! I kept my old college snowboarding jacket and it finally fits again!

Way to go!

How do you deal with loose skin after the weight comes off?

You're killing it! I started around the same place, 220, now I'm hovering around 170. Keep up the strong work 💪!

I’ve been on it for a while now, and know my body. I'd say get your thyroid checked and maybe see an endocrinologist. Make sure there isn’t something else hormonal going on that's negatively affecting things. Also, are you on any other meds that might be increasing your appetite?

Those glasses look even better now that your face is slimmer! Keep up the great work!

KLOW made a real difference for my back pain. Used to hurt just doing dishes. Knee pain is still there but the back is way better now.

You look great! Fantastic.
