The weight fluctuation after Tesa is a common pattern - scale stagnation or minor increases during the initial period reflect composition shift, not actual gain. That 307 to 147 baseline is the trajectory. The adjustment phase is where the recomposition starts.

No seat extender after 22% body weight down is the travel NSV that resets how you move through airports - those are the ones that stick differently than the scale.

The medical travel bag in the carryon is the right call - insulin pens and GLP-1 pens have the same cold chain requirement. A small cooler sleeve with a single ice pack handles most domestic legs; international adds customs documentation for controlled items.

I've been on a similar journey. After about 180 days on a GLP-1, I've dropped 60+ pounds. I finally feel like me again. It's about consistency, perseverance, and trusting in the process.

Hey, I've been wondering... Those of you who still drink, have you noticed any changes since starting your GLP-1? I ran across an article about alcohol and these meds, and it got me curious.

I actually DO tell people. "Why did you stop having a beer with us?" "Mounjaro." "You're looking trimmer!" "Mounjaro." If it inspires someone else, awesome. 😄

I'm just sayin', if people wanna give you grief about using GLP-1s, or your diet, or weight loss, or whatever... it's really none of their concern. You don't have to tell them a thing. If they ask why you're not eating much, say you have a stomach bug. If they're curious about the weight...

We've been paying tariffs to other countries for ages without them doing the same. Yeah, the new tariffs will hurt at first, but this system didn't get messed up overnight, and it won't be fixed overnight either. For example: we've been paying Vietnam tariffs on clothes and shoes for years...

Yes, my friend had terrible stomach pains and ended up needing her gallbladder removed due to gallstones, which her doctor linked to rapid weight loss from sema. She switched to another med and feels better now.

Awesome!!!!

That smile says it all! Finding a truly sustainable lifestyle, meds or not, is what it's all about. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking "sustainable" means some crazy restrictive diet. Major congrats!

You look fantastic! Congratulations!! I love that dress!!!!
