That is a great accomplishment! Congratulations!

Congrats Blair1992! It's a great feeling to fit better in your clothes.

For those of you experiencing constipation, I often recommend magnesium oxide to my patients. There are several brands on the market - just be sure to follow the instructions. And of course, as WellJourney mentioned, water intake is key!

Good job on the progress! My husband bought me a new belt when the old one became too big. That was a moment.

Hahaha I wish my mom was into peptides. When she first heard about it, she gave me a strange look.

Keep her away from the forum, or she'll be researching a bunch of things at once! You win the internet for that clever humor...

It's so interesting how GLP-1s are changing the landscape of weight management. I even saw an article about how some bariatric surgeons are doing fewer surgeries because the injections are working so well for people.

Also, it's nice to be able to keep chocolate in the house now and not worry about polishing off the whole stash, lol.

Wow, you wrote this just after I bought a Lindt bar yesterday. It's literally been the only sweet thing I've bought in the last 3 months on Mounjaro!

For those experiencing diarrhea as a side effect, ensuring adequate fiber intake and staying incredibly hydrated can sometimes help mitigate these issues. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I agree with Groovy_Bro - injection site matters for some people. Some absorb faster in the stomach than the thigh. Try to be consistent!

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone! I will try a protein snack before bed and see if that helps. Dana43 thanks for the tips!

I've been able to lower my insulin dose by almost half since starting on semaglutide. It's been life-changing!
