I've made travel vials before to keep my main stash from getting messed up by temperature swings. Travel vial stays at room temp, no big deal for a couple weeks. You could also dose right before you leave and when you get back, cuts down on what you need to carry. It's one of those things that...

That's interesting about tapering off, HappyTale. I wonder if that makes a difference in the long run. I'm also curious about the maintenance dose some people are talking about. Is it really a lifetime thing?

I had to discontinue use early Feb for surgery. My last shot was Feb 1st. By the 12th, the food chatter and severe hunger pangs, even right after eating, were back. It was awful. Also, the meds had been controlling some really bad IBS and gut problems. More than even the weight loss, getting...

For those who have stopped taking GLP-1 meds, what was your experience? Did everything revert back to the way it was before, only with the benefit of being lighter and potentially more active? Did the constant thoughts about food and strong cravings return? Did your hunger become overwhelming...

Yeah, I'm on one of the GLP-1s. It really helped get things moving. Good luck to you!

I'm with Flex_Tale on this one. You might feel good about the scale but then feel bad about the food. I changed my mind about rewarding myself with food – new shoes are my thing now!

I think it's mostly loose skin, Bobby2005. It's weird, I lost like 70 lbs, but I still feel huge.

Totally on board with the banana split! But don't let it be your only meal. Make it with the good stuff, and maybe share it with someone since it's pretty filling.

Almost at my goal! Went from 220 to 150, size 16 to a size 8. What's the best shapewear to hide my stomach under t-shirts? PS, the body dysmorphia is REAL. I still feel like I'm a much bigger size.

If you have Tricare, they *do* cover Mounjaro and semaglutide, but there are usually some hoops to jump through. You have to meet certain medical criteria. Ask your doctor to look into the prior authorization requirements!

I see a weight management specialist who's covered under my insurance. He gets compounded sema from a local pharmacy for me. Cost is around $70 a month with delivery, which is a much better deal. I used to pay over $300 through an online service. Maybe your doctor can refer you to someone...

Sure, Shed-Win. Everyone's different, but I found that adjusting my macros helped me break through plateaus. I focused on getting more protein and cutting back a bit on carbs. Also, making sure I'm drinking enough water seems to make a difference.

Appreciate all the kind words! Been quite a journey, and I'm still going. Feeling much better these days.

Thanks, everyone!

Had to renew my state ID the other day. Quite the difference from the old one, haha!

Congrats girl! I went from 135kg - 79kg (check my recent post if you like!). I've pretty much felt the same way. How tall are you?

Awesome, you look fantastic and that was super fast. Great job! I'm really happy for you.

I hear you about that extra skin. I'm down about 130 from my highest, and while I feel great, there's definitely some...remnants. Considering surgery myself, but it's a big decision.

Damn, great work. Looking good!

Incredible! It's like you unleashed a new person. Congrats! Thanks for sharing your progress and the pics. You're killing it!
