Down 50+ lbs!

[big-mood]

I started this journey back in March 2025. I was at my highest weight, almost 200lbs at 5'3.5". I don't weigh myself anymore because of past struggles, but I track my progress with pictures, and I'm finally seeing a real difference. The best things about being on this have been quieting the food noise and improving my relationship with alcohol. Congrats on your success!

i stalled 8 lbs from goal for 5 weeks on sema, figured it was stubborn fat. dexa showed 70% water weight from starting creatine. actual fat loss kept tracking fine. check your measurements when the scale freezes.

The comparison to someone else's timeline is always a trap, especially when you don't know what they were running. 4 months into serious goals and building momentum is the right place to be - the 9-month story in the OP is what that looks like given enough time. How's the pace tracking so far and are you finding the approach working?

245 to 194 on the combination stack at 55 and the scale pausing at the current level - the plateau at that combination is the place where the dose question and the diet drift question both need to be looked at simultaneously. The OP at 157 from 210 is the goal-adjacent picture of where the tirz plus reta path can go. How long has the plateau been running and what's appetite like currently?
