Almost a year on sema!

[Lou07]

It's almost been a year since I started this crazy ride, and wow, what a difference! I went from a BMI that was considered morbidly obese (around 295 lbs) to just plain overweight (about 195 lbs). My confidence is back, I feel way more energetic, I'm generally happier, and I've actually managed to stick with a regular exercise routine. Really happy with my progress and excited to see where I go from here.

Just a friendly reminder folks: No discussing or sourcing unapproved substances. Keep it legal and safe!

Congratulations! Did you increase the dosage at any point? If so, what was the final dose?

Incredible work!

 

[Lou07]

Congratulations!

May I ask - did you up your dose? If so, how much?

I did increase my dose over time, as instructed by my doctor. I'm currently at the maximum dose and it's working well for me.

That's great progress!

Almost a year! Fantastic job, friend!

Your face, your stance, everything just looks healthier and more vibrant.

I saw someone else post on here on Reddit that they hit their goal weight after about 10 months. Started at 155lbs and got down to 104.6lbs. Height was 5'0". Said maintenance is gonna be interesting!

 

[Lee]

Wow! Green-FWIW That's amazing! I'm hoping I can do that well. I'm just starting out and a little nervous.

It's interesting to consider the maintenance phase after reaching your goal weight. I've been researching different strategies to ensure long-term success and prevent weight regain. Has anyone had experience with this? What has worked for you after stopping?

That's a great question. I'm also thinking about that. I'm planning on continuing with a healthy lifestyle and working closely with my doctor to adjust my medication if needed. I'm also thinking of switching to a lower maintenance dose rather than stopping completely.
