Down 100lbs in 10 mos!

[Heavy_Lifting_Phil]

Just hit a milestone and had to share some non-scale victories:

- I can shop in regular stores now! No more plus sizes (at least for now, I'm fitting into XLs).
- I haven't weighed this little since high school.
- I finally feel good when I'm out and about, I'm not constantly self-conscious.

My hair feels thicker too, seeing new growth. Big confidence booster.

I really wish these meds existed decades ago.

That's fantastic, Heavy_Lifting_Phil! Congrats! The 'ashamed to go out' part really resonates with me. Wish I'd known about these options sooner.

Were you working out during this time?

Amazing progress! You look great!

Huge congrats on the progress! Hope you're enjoying your new lifestyle and wardrobe, you've earned it!

If you don't mind sharing, when did you notice the hair changes (loss/regrowth), and do you think it's related to the medication?

 

[BeforeAndAfter]

You look amazing! Thanks for sharing your journey, it's inspiring!

What's the deal with loose skin? A lot? A little? Not at all? Manageable?

Any side effects to report?

 

[Heavy_Lifting_Phil]

Thanks everyone!

 

[GLP_Wan]

Congrats, you look incredible! You've worked so hard! I can't believe you're in XL already, you look tiny! Amazing job!

 

[ToneLady763]

Awesome progress, and super fast! Gotta remind myself everyone's different!

If you don't mind sharing, when did you notice the hair changes (loss/regrowth), and do you think it's related to the medication?

Heavy_Lifting_Phil, I have that same question about the hair. Did it start thinning from the medication? Anything special you did to help it?

 

[Heavy_Lifting_Phil]

Thanks! HormoneHustle, GymWin917 to answer about my hair - I did notice more shedding around month 3-4. I just made sure I was eating enough protein and taking a good multivitamin. It seemed to help, and the new growth started a couple months after that. Could be the meds, could be the rapid weight loss, not sure!

I've been taking progress pics in my bathroom thinking the lighting was good, but I saw my stomach's sag was less pronounced in my bedroom mirror. Same day, same outfit... huge difference! Going to take them in my bedroom from now on for a mental health boost.

It's just such a gift to have these meds. I think about my family too, like my aunt who had diabetes and struggled with her weight her whole life... Wish she had access to this. It's heartbreaking.
