Same clothes, totally different me! Still feels incredible. My inside is changed too. I'm way happier. My mood is better than I can remember. It's wild how a medication can have such a huge effect.
 
You look amazing! Truly awesome after only 20 weeks!

I've had similar mental health changes. So glad you are too. My spouse even commented that I'm even more "myself" than I have been in years. I bet the medication's anti-inflammatory action helps the brain too. I don't have crazy worries anymore (just worries about real life stuff, which is great because I feel like they're valid), I feel sharp, I have energy, I feel smarter!
 
You should be so pleased with all you've achieved! I've been on another med for a year and a half and I've dropped 115 pounds. I'm only about 25 lbs away from my target weight so I am very happy with myself.. I'm smaller than I was when I was only 28 years old before I had my 2 boys who are age 34 & 24 now.
 
I totally get the mental health boost. I'm way less stressed than I used to be. It's like food was my only coping strategy, and now I don't need it. I get a little dopamine from other things now.

What kinda things give you that boost now? I'm struggling to find replacements.
