Okay, folks, here are my deets:

Started way back on 9/2024: 265 lbs, dress size 26, A1c 6.4
Ended on 8/2025: 153 lbs, dress size 8, A1c 5.1

Hit 10 mg at my highest but now on 5mg. Thinking about going down to 2.5mg in a couple weeks for upkeep (PCOS diagnosis so probably on this stuff forever).

My hormones are chill, blood pressure is good, back/foot pain is decreased, skin's clear, my eyes are better, cycles are predictable, and my fatty liver is gone! The only issue was anemia, but it's genetic plus prob from suddenly having periods again.

Most side effects were my fault: sulfur burps, constipation, and random nerve pain. A few injection site reactions.

Weight came off in waves, mostly when I had my period. Got some bug from work and lost a bunch then (all good now, went to the doc!). Biggest drop was the first 2 months - 40+ lbs, the doc said it was water weight.

I only lost like, 2 lbs of muscle, even when sick. I think it was my butt, lol.

I wanted to share what I learned when I started. You all are the best and so helpful. Thank you!
 
Congrats LazyLady! Amazing progress. Thanks for sharing. I'm on my 7th shot of 2.5mg and might move to 5mg, especially since prices are going up here. Good to know you only needed 10mg. I want to stay low as long as possible but I'm tempted to increase every month.

So glad your conditions improved! I might have PCOS (scan showed cysts). Do you think you'll need 2.5mg forever? I might too, given my history of weight loss/gain cycles.
 
Wow, you must feel amazing! I've lost about 30 lbs after 4 months, just went up to 7.5mg. Not sure if I should go to 10mg. My 7.5 pen will run out next week. The 7.5 isn't much different than 5mg, but day 6 rolls around and I want to binge! Last week I ate half a bag of chocolate pistachios. Only gained a pound, thankfully, and haven't touched them since.
