Haha, yeah I messed up the dates! Good catch everyone!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Here are some before and after shots! Me with my bestie at her wedding in late summer '24, and then again at her baby shower in early summer '23. Started on sema around mid-'23 at about 170 pounds, and now hover around 117. What a difference! I feel fantastic overall. Been slowly lowering my...

Yeah, I'm starting to think I need a whole new wardrobe. This is getting ridiculous!

This is the ultimate non scale victory for me.

I was heading to the kitchen this morning (points to anyone who knows what I'm talking about) carrying a bunch of stuff, and my sleep shorts decided to stage a revolt and ended up around my ankles. I'm officially at the point where I either need to go shopping for new sleepwear or figure out...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I appreciate it.

Amazing 🤩

My weight loss journey has had its ups and downs. I once weighed over 1000 pounds! I've dropped about 550 pounds since my highest weight, but since I started on Mounjaro, I've lost over 200 pounds in the last couple of years.

Even though I've been stuck around the same weight since October when I lost my mother, I'm still down over 200 pounds overall. It's been hard getting back on track, but I feel like a different person now. The first picture is from a father/daughter event in early 2023 (about 650 pounds). The...

Anyone else notice they're actually saving money now? I used to drop like $900-1000 a month on takeout without even thinking. Now it's halved! Maybe I can finally afford that vacation...

You look incredible!

Spotted the American.

You look way better without makeup, why would you want to hide it?

Gorgeous!!!

I ended up ordering these instead: Endure Insulin Syringe with Needle 31G, 5mm, box of 100, about $25 shipped. Sounds like it should go through any stopper, but short like a pen, and not much more expensive than the basic 8mm ones.

I actually saw those earlier! Good to know they work. I'll probably get those! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice and checking the stopper!

I thought about the pens, but there seem to be so many steps and things that could go wrong. I'm sure it's easy, but I want the simplest option. And I only inject once a week. If it was more often, I'd use a pen.

I used to just have the brand-name pens, so I haven't dealt with any of this before. I'm getting some peps soon, and I want to buy syringes that are long enough to draw, but kinda short for injecting (like the pens). I guess 6mm would be safe?
