You look fabulous and I admire your style.

I’m 54 and am just so thankful for this med... but also super bummed about the 4 decades I spent obsessing over my body, weight, food, etc, like you said in your post

Totally! I lost about 100lbs myself. I gained it over maybe 5 years, so wasn't always big. I feel like myself again – looking good, more flexible. I'm exercising, biking – squats are easier. People are suddenly nicer, and I'm getting noticed, even at 54 – maybe even more than when I was younger...

To answer a few questions: I was on it for about 8 months. And yes, it totally killed my appetite at first, but that leveled out after a few weeks. As for calories, I wasn't strict about counting, but aimed for around 1500-1800 a day, with lots of protein.

Thanks, everyone!

I'm doing pretty well, everyone. I started at 175 lbs at 5'6", got down to 137 lbs, then stopped the medication. I put on about 10 lbs but I've been killing it at the gym, so I think it's mostly muscle. Now I'm consistently at 147-150 lbs. I feel great! More energy, better sleep, just healthier...

At first I felt a little sick. But I worked thru it. It did really take a few weeks to notice any effects. I had to be patient.

I am so happy for you! Keep up the amazing work!!

Guys, guess what?! I finally went under 300! Back in January of last year (2023) when I started trying to slim down, I was at 375. I started Ozempic in August '23 when I weighed 345, and today I'm at 295! I'm so excited! I'm really starting to notice a difference!

Wow! You look happy and healthy!

The 'before' picture is adorable! What a milestone. I bet it's easier to do everything now, from getting around to just enjoying time with your family.

This is such a good breakdown, thank you. Co-signing this HARD. I started lifting heavy on tirz and my arms and back changed completely. I was scared of "losing muscle" at first but I actually look more athletic now than before I lost the weight. Do you think 2 lifting days is enough if...
