3 Months in - Down 20lbs!

[HeartCake]

Hey everyone! I reached my 3-month milestone last Saturday. Thanks so much for all the support on my previous posts – it really means a lot! As requested, here's another update on the orange top and those jeans:

* Last time, the jeans were snug. This time, I can easily slide my hand in between!
* I've lost about 20 pounds in 3 months.
* I'm doing strength training 3 times a week and a Zumba class when I can.
* Still on a 2.5mg dose and planning to stay there for now.

That's amazing progress! Maybe get that jack-o'-lantern checked out though! Just kidding!

Haha, very creative way to show your progress. Congrats on losing the weight!

That's awesome! I love the fall theme you have going on.

I'm about to start my fourth week—this Saturday to be exact. I was already exercising a lot before starting because I'm a kinesiologist. I naturally lost about 85 pounds over a couple years during the pandemic but after some life changes the weight crept back. I even started eating healthier after having my gallbladder out last year because my body was not happy, haha. I was worried I wouldn't see results even with all the activity but this gives me some hope. Even as an expert, I sometimes get caught up in expectations, but maybe I'm just recomping. The doctor thought this would help since I already workout a lot and eat well.

Fingers crossed! Keep up the great work and Happy Halloween!

Wow! In just three months? You're crushing it!

Thanks everyone!

Yay!

Love it! This is a great idea! I think I’ll do the same with a suit I have that’s a bit small. This is such a good way to track progress without focusing on the scale so much!

Hey HeartCake, can you share what your dosing schedule has been like?

Hey HeartCake, can you share what your dosing schedule has been like?

Sure! I started at 0.25mg for 4 weeks, then 0.5mg for 4 weeks, then 1mg for 4 weeks, then 1.7mg for 4 weeks, and now I've been on 2.5mg for the last 4 weeks. I'm just going to stay here as long as it keeps working and side effects stay manageable.

I love seeing people's progress! It's great to see so many success stories. I'm down about 35 pounds myself since starting a few months ago. It's been a real game changer!

 

[VeggieFWIW]

I'm about 36 pounds down.
