Down 70+ lbs - face gains!

[SlightlyLess88]

Still aiming for around 250lbs, got maybe 70 more to shed before I'm happy and not always thinking about it. I went from wearing 3XLT shirts to a regular 2XL, and pants size 52 to a 46, almost a 44. I don't always see the difference in the mirror, but these pics I took really showed me the progress. First one was back in November, second one was this past weekend. Seeing everyone else's progress on here gave me some motivation.

You look years younger, seriously! Great job.

Solid effort, man! The fact that you're not obsessing as much says a lot - sounds like you're building good habits. Keep it up.

Make sure you read up on the potential side effects and have a good plan for managing them. Staying hydrated is key!

Agreed with Chill_Mom, hydration is HUGE. And don't be afraid to adjust your dosage if you're feeling too rough. Slow and steady wins the race.

Yeah, listen to your body. There are def some weeks where you need to scale back a little. Pushing too hard isn't worth it. It's not a race, it's about being healthier in the long run.

I'll echo the hydration advice. Also, be mindful of your diet. Increase protein intake to help preserve muscle mass during weight loss. A well-balanced diet will maximize the benefits of the medication.
