Down 26, feelin' good!

Dropping 26 pounds is a big deal—congratulations! That kind of progress takes serious dedication, and it sounds like you're building a long-term approach. It's great to hear you're feeling happier too, because the mental shift is so important alongside the physical changes.

One thing that's helped me a lot is staying hydrated and keeping up with electrolytes, especially since you're probably eating less overall. I use these unflavored electrolyte drops that I can add to anything I'm drinking, and they've really helped with energy and focus. Keep it up—you're doing great!
 
Did you consult with a local doctor or order online (if you're comfortable sharing)? I'm only 5'1" and aiming to lose around 15, which feels like a lot for my frame, but my family doctor isn't really interested in looking into it...

So true! I've been on sema for a while now, and honestly, the way it's changed my relationship with food is more valuable than the weight loss itself.
 
For those experiencing diarrhea as a side effect, ensuring adequate fiber intake and staying incredibly hydrated can sometimes help mitigate these issues. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
 
It's fascinating how much face shape changes with weight loss. Someone on another thread mentioned their eyelids looked thinner, which is something I never thought about! Did anyone else notice changes in their face beyond just looking slimmer?
 
138 bone density at 75 is genuinely solid. Z-scores at that age have different reference frames - the -1 to -2 range means different things than it does at 50.
