Down 76lbs! Feeling like a new me!

[LightTale]

Just wanted to share - it's been an amazing 10 months! I took my last dose a couple weeks ago. Hoping I can keep the weight off now. I went from 216 to 140.2 lbs! I'm so excited.

Thanks for posting here! Just a reminder: no discussing or selling unapproved meds. And be careful about DMs from people offering to sell meds.

Incredible work! I'm so happy for you! I've lost around 90 pounds since early December last year. It's life changing!

You look great! I'm hoping I see the same kind of results. I'm also planning to stop the injections eventually. I'm at 240 lbs, I'm a man and 6'2", and also not exactly young anymore. My nutritionist told me staying stable the first year is key because your hormones need to reset. Good luck!

You look amazing! I'm really hoping I have the same luck. Similar starting weight and goal weight, but I've only lost maybe 5 pounds in almost 2 months

What's your plan to keep it off? I tried stopping and the hunger came back so strong! I'm thinking I'll just stay on it forever. Or until I'm too old to care, lol

Thanks, everyone! @LabDad To answer your question, I'm focusing on diet and exercise right now. It's only been 2 weeks, so I'm still in early stages of figuring it out.

You stopped the injections completely? I thought everyone should taper down their dose so they don't gain the weight back.

I didn't taper, no. That was the doctor's advice. Hope it works out ok!

I think the most important thing after stopping the medication is to change your habits early to change your habits. Start an exercise and strength training routine then after doing this for a few months, you will have broken through old habits and you then need to maintain it! Keep at it

Makes total sense! I'm working on changing my habits now, while the meds are helping.

I'm seeing a dietician now to help me develop a good eating plan and wean off the shots eventually. My doctor also thinks I should stop the injections soon.

the way this stuff works is honestly wild to me. i had basically given up on getting my weight under control and it just kept creeping up. then one 2.5 shot and i felt like i could take on anything. 6 weeks in now, 9kg down, and that same feeling has not left.

Main thing I eat is chicken and rice, plus occasional meatloaf or similar. Running about 800-1000 cals daily. I got to 15mg in 3 months by taking my time with each dose increase and making sure I felt stable before moving up. Eating smaller portions comes naturally now, just like everyone here reports.
