Hey everyone! So, I started at 370 lbs and I'm now down to 280 lbs! I was really worried about starting Mounjaro, but it's honestly been the only thing that's helped me lose weight and stay motivated. I feel so much better! Still got a ways to go, but hoping this gives someone else the push they need.
 
That little dog in the second pic is probably wondering where half his human went! Seriously though, congrats!
 
You look fantastic! I'm curious, is this mostly from eating less, or are you exercising a lot too? I'm starting next week, and I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect.
 
Thanks, everyone! Reta_Fam, it's mostly been the medication helping with appetite and portion control. I haven't been doing much exercise at all, unfortunately. I have a pretty sedentary job and struggle to even get 3,000 steps in a day.
 
You look amazing! This is so encouraging. I started about a month ago at 310lbs and I'm down to 299lbs. I'm already noticing I can walk further without getting winded, and I'm actually enjoying going to the gym!
 
I've been doing body composition scans every couple weeks, Reta_Fam, and it's so interesting to see how my muscle mass and fat mass are changing. If I don't get enough protein or skip my workouts, my muscle mass actually goes DOWN! Even if the scale isn't moving much, it's good to know what's happening under the surface. Might be worth looking into!
 
It's awesome to see people having success. I started Ozempic (switched to Liraglutide now) at 213 pounds and I'm 5'7. I'm now at 190. Getting out of the 'obese' category felt like a victory!
