Two years ago, I was in rough shape - high A1C, on a bunch of meds. Started at 244lbs. Now I'm down to 156, off everything except Mounjaro (switched from Ozempic a month ago because of a plateau). It's been life-changing. I can actually ride a bike with my kid now!

Good luck! I've found that the second time around on sema can be easier because you already know what to expect. It's like your body remembers how to respond.

Fabulous! I bet you feel a lot better, too!

Welcome to the forum! Just a reminder about our rules: no discussing non-approved meds, and definitely no buying/selling. If someone DMs you offering meds, report it. Also, check out the if you're new here.

I'm worried about going off completely... I saw a post where someone said they started at 247 pounds in October and now is 180 and satisfied! But they also said they need to stay on a maintenance dose because their A1C isn't low enough. That sounds like a good plan. Small dose of medication to...

Following! I'm also figuring out maintenance. I've lost too much weight and want to regain a little. Should I stop injecting altogether or just use a very low dose? I'm also curious if NAD is contributing to weight loss.

Don't become like Canada, we tip for everything and it's insane. There are even tip suggestions when you buy at a store!

I did two sessions a week with my trainer, plus another workout or two solo. I only saw them for about 3 months. You should outgrow them and they teach you how to work out on your own. Then you can check in every few months. Or when you want to learn new skills/programming. I didn't like...

It might depend on how you hired the trainer. If you pay through a gym, they might not be allowed to accept money. The gym might think they're training you on the side. If you pay them directly, a gift at Christmas would be nice.

No way. They're like $90+/hr where I am!

Yep. I use little sticky notes on my calendar to keep track of my next dose because I can't remember dates to save my life. 😆

I had a similar issue, so I switched to dosing every 5 days instead of 7. Lots of people have had success with the 5-day schedule.

That's amazing, Congratulations! You should be so proud of your achievement! ☺️

You look amazing! Congratulations on all your hard work.

I'm on week seven and have barely lost anything, maybe 2 lbs!. I'm working out with weights almost every day and still nothing is coming off. I had gastric sleeve surgery, so I can't eat a ton. I KNOW I'm not overeating! I'm feeling pretty discouraged! I've tried everything at this point.

Did you have any weeks where the scale didn't budge at all? I'm about to take my third shot, and my weight loss has really slowed down.

I love hearing success stories like this! I'm down about 50 lbs since January and already feel so much better. I'm also finally fitting into single-digit jeans… which is crazy!

Incredible!!! I'm so happy for you!

You look absolutely stunning, congrats hun!!!!

Thanks all! The support is amazing. It's definitely been a rollercoaster. I am still dealing with heartburn even now. I take an antacid at bedtime usually and that keeps it at bay. I think it was about 4-5 weeks before I really saw the scale move. Before that, it was up and down. Stick with it!
