Down 60lbs in 6 months - still going!

It's been about 26 weeks since I started the GLP-1 medication, and I've managed to drop around 61 pounds. I finally feel like I'm getting back to my old self.

It's not about perfection, just everyday consistency and trusting that it'll work. I'm in this for the long haul.
 
I'm curious, @Chris02, how are people losing so much weight using this stuff? I've only managed to lose 25 pounds this year, and I'm not sure how others are achieving better results. Do you happen to be taking a high dose, and are you wealthy? I can't afford a constantly increasing dose.
 
The price just soared another $250 each month! Plus, I'm not seeing results because I'm still binging!
 
That's a great trend to follow. The first bit comes off fast, then it takes twice as long for the next bit, then even longer for the next. But it still leads to a gradual reduction. That's been true for me too. Congrats!

Girl, I feel you. The cost is insane, and it's so hard to break those old habits even with the meds. Maybe try focusing on smaller, more manageable changes to your eating?
 
My mother-in-law just gifted me a bunch of new workout clothes! I've gone from a size XXL to a M/L in pants. Never had proper workout sets before, I usually thrift. So excited to keep going!

It's important to remember that we all have good and bad weeks. It's about moderation and balance. I went from 300+ lbs to 175 lbs.

Don't get too hard on yourself.

That's so encouraging! It's easy to feel discouraged when things don't go perfectly, but it's important to remember how far we've come.
 
Your story shows why time matters. Weeks turn into months and people can't see it unless you zoom out. A year wrapped up reminds people the time actually adds up.
 
Same here with the clothes spiral. It was wild going from nothing that fit to slowly cycling through sizes before I finally got brave enough to step on the scale.
