Since people are asking, here are my stats:

Started at: 233 lbs
Now at: 178 lbs
Goal: 160 lbs

I started semaglutide around the start of May and mostly do hot yoga. Planning to start lifting weights soon to help with loose skin.

Awesome progress! You should add your starting weight, height, and the date you started, along with where you are now and your goal weight. It helps others!

Fantastic!

Did you incorporate any weight training into your routine?

 

[Geeky-Road]

You still have a nice figure! Mine is totally gone.

You look incredible!!! Gives me hope that my stomach might look better eventually. Do you do any exercise?

 

[ShrinkDonut]

Amazing transformation! I started around 4/22/24 at 233lbs too!! I’m around 5'6 or 5'7, and in my early 40s. I wish I had taken before photos.

 

[Gym_Lady]

Fantastic work! It looks like your posture has improved too!

 

[InjectLoss]

Could you share a bit more about your starting stats?

 

[Jess1988]

Congrats on your success!

 

[Fit-Road]

Absolutely amazing!!! Congrats!! My stomach currently resembles your before so I'm hoping it can look like your after eventually!! I bet you feel amazing!

It's so motivating to see someone with a similar build having results like this. You're doing great! I'm two months in and down about 10 lbs, looking forward to seeing similar progress!!! SW 232

 

[Geeky-Road]

Incredible! You look AMAZING, congratulations!

 

[Shannon]

This is your reminder to TAKE PHOTOS!

This is great advice! I wish I'd done that from day one. It's hard to see the changes day to day.

 

[Fit-Road]

Wow, what a journey! Someone else posted about a similar experience dropping over 100 pounds and not realizing the magnitude of the change until seeing old photos. It's an amazing feeling!

Did you incorporate any weight training into your routine?

Weight training is key for building muscle and counteracting any muscle loss that can happen with weight loss. It also helps with the loose skin issue ShrinkDonut mentioned.

I feel better than I have in years! My energy is way up and I'm finally motivated to do more than just hot yoga. Bring on the weights!
