From March '25 until now, I've shed 51 lbs. That's 51 lbs of doubt and negativity gone! It wasn't a walk in the park. Some days, I was super frustrated, ready to throw in the towel, especially when the scale wouldn't budge. But I stuck with it. Imperfectly, but consistently. And I'm finding myself again. This is more than just the weight. It's healing, choosing myself even when it's hard, saying no to things I used to say yes to, walking instead of hiding, believing I deserve this. 51 lbs down, but I feel stronger and so much more confident. If you're struggling, hang in there. You're stronger than you think. Just start. One choice. One step. One day at a time. Also, I'm a single mom with two little ones and not a lot of money. I'm on lower doses and only went up after weeks of no progress. .25 for a while, then .5. I saved for months to get the first pen. It was $240, but lasted two months. I click count to make it last. Then it's been about $240/month. I get my pen up north in Canada and the savings on my grocery bill offsets the cost. I'm eating way less. I weigh less now than I did in high school! Here’s to the 'me' I was, the 'me' I'm becoming, and the 'me' that refused to give up. #weightloss #goals #weight #weightlossjourney
 
What other lifestyle changes did you make along with the medication? I've been on it for about eighteen months with very little progress, only about 20lbs.

Might be time to check your thyroid levels. And make sure you are getting enough protein.
 
Wow, great job! I'm also working toward a similar goal! I'm a 65-year-old male, started at 374 lbs, now at 318 lbs, hoping to get down to 225 lbs. Started the meds mid-January '25, currently on 10 mg. Keep up the fantastic work!
