Facial changes - anyone else notice?

Inflammation drop when you're off shows how much these meds help beyond appetite. What'd you do to manage the joint stuff during that time off?
 
Rough spot to be in. Knowing what symptoms showed up and where you capped the dose helps figure out whether it's worth trying the other option or if the issue runs deeper.
 
started feb too, second dose of 0.5ml, lost about 2 lbs. been eating clean on deficit and 8-10k steps daily. my nurse looks sad for me 😅. pcos + diabetes, on metformin and just got added jardiance.
 
Always got black beans in my fridge—high protein, high fiber, super cheap (55 cents a pound, or 25 pound bag at Costco). Pair with broccoli and quinoa. For meat I smoke chicken thighs now instead of ground beef. Big thing: eat enough fiber on this stuff. That's what keeps your digestion working and kills most of the GI issues.
 
had a lot of fatigue first few weeks, cleared up after 4-6 weeks. eating a banana or some carbs before exercise and work helped.
 
you can't just take mounjaro and eat whatever. i had to change everything about how i eat. the med rewired my brain around food—stuff tastes different now. i eat way less, more satisfied. 100+ lbs in a year. maintenance dose works, still takes walking and real effort.
 
Only 2 weeks in and it's already working too well for me. Barely think about food. Then day 8 I woke up in a panic and just ate everything—crazy strong urge, felt primal. I've always binged, but this hit different. Way more intense than usual.
 
noticed that some foods suddenly became safe and others wreck me instantly. my doc said that kind of pattern shift is actually really common on these meds.
 
That's amazing progress. 10 weeks, 11 kg lost is really strong work. You'll see the body changes pretty quick. Just breathe, take it step by step, and appreciate the journey.
 
You look amazing! The tummy skin after that kind of loss is really common and mostly comes down to how fast you lost it and the age of your skin cells. Collagen supplements and strength training both help, but some of it just takes time - skin tightens up slower than fat disappears.
 
The belly overhang as the specific stubborn spot while the face changes first is so common on these medications. Face and upper body tend to slim before the midsection catches up. The OP's belly transformation is the part that takes longer but it does come - the face results at 20 units in a month are just the beginning.
 
the medical supply cabinet comparison is where you know you've fully committed - once you're reconstituting and injecting for multiple purposes the supply management starts to look serious from the outside. the DIY aesthetics path tends to follow naturally once the initial injection barrier is down
 
Haha my only real complaint is now I can actually see where the aging's starting to show. Guess it's serum and retinol time! Still, photos this year beat what I looked like twelve months back.
 
Facial weight loss is genuinely the oddest thing to notice, especially through something like sunglasses fitting differently. My husband mentioned my face looked thinner once, and that's when it clicked, my glasses had been slipping toward the tip of my nose the entire day. Guess we're both shedding weight in the most random spots first. Impressive that he actually caught it, my own partner would probably just guess I'd changed my hairstyle.
 
That face change is wild, the shift's visible in your eyes as well, beyond just the pounds gone. Six months in is genuinely worth celebrating. This place genuinely helps people stay motivated, glad you've found that here too. Keep it up!
 
So fair honestly, inches could be dropping in spots that never get measured! Definitely noticed it showing in the face specifically. Guess measuring face circumference is next hahah jk.
 
Ha, nobody warns you about the face changing. I lost close to 30lbs a while back and old photos genuinely didn't look like me anymore, not that I'd looked bad before, just that the face I saw every morning had shifted completely.

Your jawline reads sharper now next to the earlier photo, and the cheek area looks noticeably different too.

The bigger-head illusion is real too, mate. Heads look larger when there's more weight carried everywhere else around them. Once everything else evens out, the proportions balance and it stops catching your eye.

Forty pounds gone since February, that's serious progress, nice work staying consistent. Mind if I ask what dose you're on these days?
 
Awesome progress, seriously. That extra softness around the middle is usually a mix of loose skin plus leftover fat. Time, core exercises, and building muscle in other areas all help even it out. Congrats!
 
Definitely visible where you've changed, your jawline and middle in particular. Three months in for me too, and clothes suddenly fitting differently threw me off just as early. Weird feeling, honestly, pulling something on and having it actually cooperate. Skip stressing over exact macros while dealing with the heat and your flare-up, just getting anything in is what counts right now.
