Down 65 lbs. Feeling Amazing!

[figuringoutpatience]

That's impressive, seriously. The skin thing hit you too - especially the arms. Age definitely plays a role, but you're younger than you think weight-wise in terms of recovery. Your body's going to bounce back more than mine ever will. The transformation speaks volumes.

Size 16 to a 4 is the kind of shift that changes how you move through every room.

Right?! Being able to fit somewhere comfortably without that tight squeeze? That's been one of the biggest wins for me with this whole thing.

That's awesome, seriously! Loose skin can get tightened up with time and movement. Winter makes everything harder though—just staying warm is enough. I didn't hit the gym for 2 years, started at home with stretching 3x a week. Walking is a perfect start. Keep pushing, you've got this.

Hit 159 today on my bathroom scale-first time dropping below 160. At 4'11" that marks a major milestone. Started at 173, using 0.5mg for about 4 months. Doing really well.

65 pounds down and feeling it - that kind of sustained loss takes real consistency. Great result. What does your dose look like now?

 

[picklejogger]

Just took my third dose and I'm already 6 pounds down. Pretty good start.

65 lbs and a grin that shows it. That's the right energy.

Down 65 and into a size 4. The shift from lurking for motivation to providing it is the whole story.

Haha wait I had to read that twice. For a second I thought you said 1932 lbs. What an incredible achievement! You absolutely rock!

65 pounds changes how you move through the world. The lurker-to-poster journey is part of the story too.

 

[QuirkyKing]

65 down from goal with actual wellness markers changing is the real story.

65 lbs after months of doubt is the kind of result that converts hopeful to certain.

50 pounds on Mounjaro since October with 13 left is exactly the phase where the mental component becomes the dominant story - the physical scale number matters less and less when the daily experience has shifted this much.

This made me want to comment too, which almost never happens for me. The mindset you described is exactly the thing that makes the difference long term. You're not just on a drug, you're genuinely changing how you relate to food. That's the version that actually sticks.

That clothes thing really gets me - going from dressing to hide to dressing because you actually want to wear it. I just got back on it 4 months ago and I'm still in the hiding phase honestly but I can see it starting to shift. Your post is motivating.

 

[chia-doodler89]

totally get that first start energy where you're estimating the goal and thinking it's gonna be more straightforward than it turns out. 65 down and not knowing where you'd land is actually the better story - the number surprised you rather than you just chasing a target.

Girl you've got this! Just hit my own -60lbs mark after half a year and honestly haven't felt this good in years, mentally or physically. Wishing you nothing but the best on this path and can't wait to watch you start feeling incredible too!

 

[mauve_dreamer07]

So excited for you! Seventy pounds gone since starting back in October 2025, and honestly the biggest shift for me beyond the number on the scale is all the mental space freed up now that food isn't constantly on my mind. Stay gentle and patient with yourself through this. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Sending good energy and best wishes your way!

Really solid comment here!

First off, congrats on that!

Still catch myself feeling obese in some way. Four months flew by way too fast. Still have to actively remind myself that all this weight is actually gone. Every glance in the mirror feels like a stranger's staring back. Mostly still wearing my larger clothes, so most people don't clock the change right away. But people have been unbelievably kind to me lately, first time ever feeling genuinely seen and like my presence actually matters, like I've got a voice worth hearing. Sad commentary on how society treats people, honestly.

Still got roughly 16 kilos left, somewhere in the 30s in pounds, before hitting a normal range.
