Wow!! Every pound is a victory!! The changes are major! Congrats! 🫠🫠

Just FYI, it's the same situation here in Australia. :/ Only covered by our subsidized system if you have diabetes. :(

So, sounds like if you're rich, you get Ozempic. If not, just stay positive about your body. :/

Great job!

Amazon ships bad syringes to california for some reason. Better syringes come from online diabetes supply stores.

I'm also worried about extra skin. I'm in my mid-60s, and I've heard it's harder for older skin to bounce back after weight loss. I'm thinking about incorporating collagen supplements and maybe some targeted exercises to help with that. Has anyone had success with those?

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 👖💃

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! 😯👍
