Down 40, halfway there!

[Food-IMO]

Okay, so the before and after pics aren't my best look, but hey, it's real life. Six months ago I was sitting at 230, and now I'm chilling at 190. Still got around 50 to go! Started with 0.25mg for a month, then 0.5mg for a couple, and now 1.0mg for the past three. Haven't gone up to the max dose yet because my doc wants to take it slow. Honestly, I'm loving this gradual thing. No crazy weight loss, but zero nasty side effects. No hair falling out, skin still looks good, and I'm not exhausted all the time, which were my biggest worries.

OMG you're doing amazing! So inspiring, keep crushing those goals! You go girl!

That's like six and a half pounds a month Food-IMO! Awesome! Thanks for sharing the journey, very encouraging to see.

That's fantastic progress! I've managed to drop about 25 pounds in about three months myself. High five!

That outfit is amazing! Where'd you get it?

 

[Bobby_97]

You look fantastic! And it seems like we're having the same weather lol.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your height? And how much weight did you lose during the first month?

 

[Shape_Cookie]

Wow, you rock that 190 way better than I did! I'm at 183 now, and you're still owning it at 190. Congrats!

 

[Food-IMO]

That's awesome! So glad you're feeling great. BTW I think your style is on point in both pics.

 

[ShrinkFixed]

You can definitely see the change. Congrats on the progress! Love the romper too!

 

[Maxie_1990]

You look fantastic in both, seriously! Congrats on smashing your goals!

 

[LightCookie]

Congrats again! I think that jumper is really cute.

 

[FiberWine]

You look amazing! I'm about to start 1.0 next week. Food-IMO, did you notice increased weight loss on 1.0 compared to the lower doses?

 

[Stevie_1988]

That fit is stunning and that's that!

You look incredible!

 

[Bobby_97]

You look incredible! Kudos to your doctor for recommending gradual weight loss. Rapid weight loss can cause gallbladder issues, which you really want to avoid if possible.

 

[Shape_Cookie]

Great job! Looking fantastic!

 

[Food-IMO]

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It really helps to keep me motivated. To answer Bobby_97's question, I'm 5'7". I think I lost about 8 pounds the first month?

Hey y'all, I just saw another thread where someone was feeling down because they didn't think they were seeing results until they put up some side by side pics. Sometimes it's hard to see it yourself!

This is so true. I've noticed a big reduction in inflammation too, which is awesome. Less redness and puffiness is a welcome side effect!

I've heard injecting closer to the stomach can improve the effects.
