Down 40lbs since Jan, feeling great!

[Mel_2006]

Started at 220, now I'm hovering around 180, hoping to reach 160. I'm so thankful for this medication! I've struggled with emotional eating due to my anxiety for a long time. Now I feel like I'm actually in charge. I'm making better food choices and treating myself sometimes.

Wow! That's incredible! 40 lbs looks like WAY more than 40 lbs on you.

Are you also exercising or just focusing on your diet?

No offense, but you look like you lost way more than 40! Amazing progress!

I know the feeling. Excellent work. You're carrying that 40lb loss well. How are you feeling overall?

You look fantastic! Congrats! I dropped 40 myself and can barely tell. LOL. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful work. You look fabulous.

Looking great!

How did your tattoos hold up with the weight loss? I have a full sleeve and I'm a little worried about how it will look when I start the medication.

 

[BugPath253]

Seriously, it looks like you lost way more than 40! Fantastic progress!

How tall are you? Very inspiring!!

 

[Cat-Fixed]

Keep up the great work!

Incredible! You're doing amazing!

Height is 5'4". Yeah, I'm also doing about 30 mins of treadmill 3-4 times a week. Nothing crazy

 

[Shape-Boss]

Mel_2006 That's awesome to hear about the treadmill. Exercise is so important for overall health while losing weight. I'm glad you're incorporating it!

I totally get how body image can lag behind actual weight loss. I've heard from others that even after significant weight loss, they still feel like they look the same. It's wild. I think it's called body dysmorphia?

It's so true. Even when the scale says one thing, our brains can play tricks on us. I've found that taking progress photos really helps.

I'm still struggling with how I look even after losing weight.

I might start taking some progress pics to see if that helps, I just cant see it day to day.
