I've been stuck above 200 for what feels like forever. No matter how hard I dieted or exercised, I just couldn't budge it. I'd get down to like 202, maybe, and then bounce right back. But this morning? 199.5! I almost don't believe it. Seriously wish I'd started this sooner.
 
Thanks for posting! Just a reminder, we don't allow discussing non-approved meds or selling/offering meds for sale here, including via PM. Don't request or respond to any PMs offering such. Also, check out the FAQ if you're new.
 
That must feel incredible! I'm so thrilled for you!! I think of it as entering a new weight 'category'. 200s to 190s is one category, 190s to 180s is another, and so on. It's just a fun little way I look at it, and it's always a moment to cherish when the scale reflects it!
 
Congrats!! I felt the same. I didn't think I could ever get under a certain number, no matter what I did. Started this medication, and now, seven months later, I'm almost 25 lbs below that! It's wild.
 
I hung around the low 200s for like, two months straight. So when I finally saw the 190s, I kept expecting it to jump back up. I seem to plateau every 10 lbs or so, but I'm still making progress. My doc says he won't up my dose again, so I gotta be patient. I'm glad I have a good doctor 'cause I know slow and steady is better for keeping it off. I'm at 171 now! Been stuck there for a bit, hoping for the 160s soon. Started at 218 last fall.
 
You got this! I started in April at 200 lbs. Today I'm 165. My goal is 125. I was size 14-18, now I’m size 8. Get a cheap scale with the app from Amazon for like $25. You can track your progress. Good luck
 
I had the same thing happen when I weighed myself last week! Finally back in double digits! The last few years have been rough, and the weight just piled up...and up. I never would've had this victory without this medication, and I'm excited to keep going.

Congrats!! Getting under that weight you've been fighting with for ages is such a high! It's really mind-blowing, right?
 
I agree with NewPizza506 - it's SUCH a great feeling when you hit a goal you've been chasing! I remember hitting 175... I hadn't seen that weight since college, and I literally cried. Happy tears, of course! Keep up the amazing work!
 
It's amazing how much these meds can change your perspective, isn't it? Like,

I began at 257 and am now 155. Never thought I'd see it.

I totally get that. It's not just about the weight loss, but also about feeling like you're finally in control of your body again. I've learned so much about my own body this past year. It's been a real journey of self-discovery!
