A year on Mounjaro!

[SemaGotMe]

A year ago on 10/26/23, I began my Mounjaro journey! Initial weight was 258 lbs, currently at 166.8, with a target of 145-152ish.

Down 91 lbs! Dosage: 1 month at 2.5mg, 6 months at 5mg, 4 months at 7.5mg, 1 month at 10mg.

This past year was about shedding weight, sure, but also about embracing a healthier lifestyle through protein-rich foods, mindful eating, and the assistance of a GLP-1 med. It felt like forever sometimes, but now it's passed in a blink.

Learned a few things about myself:

1. The mental battles are tougher than the physical ones.
2. Striving for 85% adherence is totally acceptable!
3. Food is just food, not good or bad.
4. I can enjoy anything, but not all at once.
5. Just keep going! A slip-up doesn't ruin everything.

Looking forward to another year of progress!

Thank you for those reminders. My meds arrive tomorrow. I needed this encouragement! I hope to have success with it, not only for my health, but to encourage others in the future as well.

I saw someone else post recently about hitting a weight milestone they thought was impossible. They said,

My only regret is not starting sooner. It is possible.

I think that's how a lot of us feel!

Progress is progress, no matter how small. I saw a guy post about losing 154 pounds in 8 months! It's amazing what these meds can do. Remember to celebrate those small wins, like someone else said.

Starting weight is 353lbs after a T2D diagnosis... I'm really hoping this works for me. Wish me luck!
