Okay, so six months down. Found some old pics from a friend's wedding back in July, I was pushing 170 then. Started sema in September, and by late October, I was closing in on 150, around 147-148ish. Now I'm hovering around 128.

It’s been wild, not gonna lie. Shopping is actually enjoyable now, which is a huge change. I used to just worry about clothes covering me up, never about how they looked *on* me. I still have hang-ups – arms, thighs, could stand to be stronger, that c-section pooch is annoying. But I'm finding my style, finally. Taking the kids to the shore next week and found a swimsuit I don't totally hate.

I'm technically 'normal' on the BMI scale, around 23. Haven't dropped any weight in about a month. I'm not counting calories anymore, just trying to eat intuitively, lots of protein, fruits, and veggies. Originally, I wanted to be under 140, but then I hit it and still felt like I needed to lose more. Now I'm second-guessing everything. Should I buckle down and try to shed a few more pounds, or just maintain? I'd like to slim down a bit more in certain areas, but I don't want my face to look gaunt! When did you realize you were happy with your weight?
 
Awesome results! You're doing great! As for when is enough... that's so personal, and there's no easy answer. If you want to lose a little more, go for it! The important thing is to be happy and feel good about what you've achieved.
 
It's all about the happy scale! I had a friend who dropped about 70 pounds total on a GLP-1 and she said she knew she was done when she just felt... right. No more, no less.
 
Fifteen months sema fine, suddenly cramps sulfur burps two weeks. Friend recommended Metamucil, worked! Guess eating sushi daily week caused it. Fiber fixed it.
