    2 yrs on sema - happy to share!

    Wes1981, honestly, I don't know if I'll be on it forever. We'll see what my doctor says. And yes, I do try to work out 3-4 times a week – mostly strength training.

    2 yrs on sema - happy to share!

    Hey Sub_Path, thanks for the kind words! I got up to 2.0mg for most of the loss, titrating up pretty quickly - maybe every 2 weeks? Now I'm on 1.0mg for maintenance. I didn't really titrate down, just went straight to the lower dose. As for side effects, some nausea at first, but it went away...

    2 yrs on sema - happy to share!

    As the title says, it's been exactly 24 months since I started semaglutide injections. The bulk of the weight came off in about 7-8 months, and since then I've been using it to maintain. I dropped weight very quickly (guess I'm hyper-responsive) and lost about 75 lbs in the first year. I've...

    Two years on GLP-1s! 🎉

    Today marks two years since my first dose! I seriously couldn't have gotten this far without all the encouragement, support, and info I've found on these forums. Huge thanks to everyone! I started this journey focusing on the mental side of weight management *before* even thinking about meds...

    Sorry, Leslie70, I misread your post! I thought you were congratulating me, lol. I wasn't on anything. I admire all of you who are, though! Your weight loss is amazing!

    Bye-bye BMI Obese!

    I'm celebrating shedding a little over a quarter of my original weight (about 260 down to 190)! And I'm thrilled to say I'm officially out of the "Obese" BMI category (even though I know it's not a perfect measure of health!)

    Still see the old me...

    Not from my own experience, but I hear that with extreme weight loss, surgery is the only real way to get rid of the extra skin.

    Still see the old me...

    Only down 40-ish pounds myself, but yeah, I totally get it. It's not that I look different, just... smaller, I guess? I know my clothes are falling off of me, so something must have changed. But looking in the mirror, it's still the same shape, just like everything got bigger around me instead...
