A year and a half in is when the behavioral list stops feeling like restriction and starts feeling like baseline - the things you can't do anymore aren't losses, they're just who you are now.

Respiratory improvement and mood both tend to track the inflammation reduction, not just the weight number.

Stopping because of severe GI side effects is reasonable - constipation and abdominal pain at that level isn't sustainable. Holding the weight through diet restriction afterward is a legitimate outcome even if it wasn't the original plan.

Okay, I'll try the old clothes thing and more pics. Thanks, everyone!

Thanks, everyone!

I've gotten rid of 70+ pounds. I *know* it's gone, and my clothes fit totally different, but I still see the same old me in the mirror. It's like my brain is stuck. Anyone else feel this? When does the self-esteem actually show up?

Thanks Sage12. I'm thinking it might be dose related too. I'll try dialing it back and seeing if that helps. I don't want to lose muscle, I want to lose the spare tire! I'm going to split my next dose and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions! I agree with all of that. It is a new vial from a new lot. Right now everything is a possibility. My math *should* be correct if the labels are accurate. I use Excel, so my math is done, the only thing is I could have plugged in an incorrect number, but I've...

So, my journey started with weekly injections of semaglutide, then tirzepatide, and now I'm using a combo of tirz plus retatrutide. I'm almost at my target weight, so I'm trying to dial things back and using these peptides to try and keep my food habits in check. I've been on 2mg of tirz and 4mg...

These stories are so motivating! I've only dropped 15 pounds so far, but my blood sugar is so much better. I'm even fitting into smaller clothes!

You look great, congrats!

Congrats on getting approved for surgery, ShrinkingViolets55! Hoping you have a quick recovery. Let the good times roll! 💜💛💚⚜️

Huge congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉 So happy to read this! I'm down around 175 lbs. Had a lower body lift all the way around, lipo, and they fixed my stomach muscles, plus an arm lift about 6 weeks ago. I don't regret it for a second; it was totally worth it.

Congrats on the hard work! I started at 380 and have been stuck on a plateau for about 6 weeks at 303. I started in March of '25. When did you start?

Awesome, you look great 👍

Fantastic job!!!! And thank you for uploading the pics in the correct order!! 😭🤣

You go girl! I see those curves coming in!

One time, I was convinced I bent the needle and didn't get the injection because it felt like nothing. Just to be safe I waited until the following week to take my shot. I figured better safe than sorry.

I'm kinda scared to get rid of my clothes. I've been on the diet rollercoaster for so long, what if I gain it all back? 🥺

So happy for you! I'm counting down the days until I can say the same thing! 😭
