Almost at my goal!

[Bee_Strong]

I started my injections in July of last year and I am so happy with my 50+ lb weight loss. I feel amazing!

That's awesome! You look so much healthier and happier!

That's awesome progress! Down to 128 is incredible. Keep pushing toward that goal, sounds like you're right there.

r/GLPGrad might have better info for you. Goal is a controlled descent for now.

A1c down to 5.5 from 7.8 in four months! Blood glucose 92 an hour after a 200 cal protein drink. Going out to celebrate tonight. Question—has anyone had mounjaro auth rejected after blood sugar normalized? Insurance situation unclear, wondering if long-term's possible.

.6 pounds per week is still consistent loss - at 157 lbs with 7 to go, the smaller deficit is expected. The final stretch always takes longer than the same weight loss in the first half.

I'm pretty open about it too - got prescribed for blood sugar and it worked for both that and the weight. 85 lbs is a serious result and the 'medication plus lifestyle change' framing is honest because both things are true. The medication changes what's possible, what you do with that is still on you.

18 down and the OP at 140 is what staying with it long enough looks like. Did you start on your own or through a provider? That tends to change the titration path a lot.

January to December to go from 235 to 208 is a year of real work and then tirz changing the pace is exactly the before-and-after most people describe. Not comparing that first year to what came after - it was hard and it counts. 140 down total is an incredible result.

65 down and then two years of plateau between 162-168 even on max Mounjaro is the hard wall. 140 lbs in the OP is a remarkable result - that kind of stall at the tail end is a completely different problem from where most people start. What would you do differently with what you know now?

 

[zen_pretzel]

Oh the joints thing - this doesn't get talked about enough. Mounjaro basically gave me my mobility back. 50 lbs in looks and feels like way more because the inflammation drops with it. Keep going, still a long way to go but you're already living differently.
