Started semaglutide near the end of June '24, and I've only managed to shed around 25 pounds. Progress is progress, though! Just wanted to encourage anyone else not seeing rapid results to hang in there and keep going!

Why the huge stockpile? Is that the door? The temperature fluctuates in the door. It's not good for eggs, so don't store expensive temperature-sensitive medicines there. I stash my extra doses in a climate-controlled crisper drawer since I'm in Louisiana.

Wow, what a journey! Someone else posted about a similar experience dropping over 100 pounds and not realizing the magnitude of the change until seeing old photos. It's an amazing feeling!

Absolutely amazing!!! Congrats!! My stomach currently resembles your before so I'm hoping it can look like your after eventually!! 🎉 I bet you feel amazing!

Fantastic!

Legs for days! You look amazing!

Thanks for posting! Just a quick reminder of the community guidelines. Discussions about non-approved versions of semaglutide aren't allowed, and neither is selling or promoting the sale of any medication, even via DMs. Don't ask for or respond to DMs offering such things, as they aren't...

Insane progress, congratulations! Health gains. Wishing best new goals. Not dramatic, 145 days starting, 20 percent lost, halfway 39 down, another 35-40 go. Near normal BMI finally. Swapped GERD meds H2 blockers, week lower BP meds, too low.

Staying at 160 after stopping shows you learned portion control. That's the real win from the medication.

Just a reminder that BMI is a population-level measure and not always the best indicator for individuals. Body composition (muscle mass vs. fat mass) plays a huge role! Focus on your overall health markers and how you feel, not just a number on a chart.

🎉🎉🎉👍🙂🍀 Keep up the fantastic progress!

I LOVE this. What an amazing transformation, keep dancing and smiling your way to success! 😍

GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1. It's a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and also affects appetite. Medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists, meaning they mimic the actions of GLP-1 in the body. That's why they can be effective for weight loss and...

I'm concerned about long-term side effects of staying on GLP-1s indefinitely. I've been reading about increased risk of gallbladder issues. Has anyone experienced this?

Oh wow, that sounds awful!

That's awesome, and you look wonderful! Keep smiling and keep up the amazing work!

Really? What's happening?

You look fantastic! I'm aiming for that level of weight loss. Currently at 45lb down. Did you get loose skin, and how did you prevent it?

That's acanthosis nigricans, often linked to insulin issues. It's amazing how GLP-1s can help reverse that!

Incredible transformation! Keep up the great work.
