I started at 240lbs now down to 140lbs! I went from a size 16 to a size 8. I'm 5'7". My waist went from 45 to 31 inches.

I was obese for so long and always battling constant hunger, which made sticking to any diet impossible. This med has been a game changer. It's like dieting but WITHOUT the insane hunger. The weight just melted off.

My plan is to gradually up my calorie intake to maintain my current weight, then start lowering my dosage slowly until I don't need it anymore.

I've built some solid habits, and now I'm focusing on eating more healthy calories while cutting back on the junk. Excited for this new phase! 💪
 
Fantastic work!!! Very inspirational. I'm just starting out, and my stats are quite similar to where you began. Did you reach the highest dose, or did you stick with a particular dosage? I've done four weeks at 2.5mg and am increasing my dose next time. You're an inspiration! 😁
 
It took me about a year to lose the weight. I wasn't super strict with exercise, mostly just walking, but I'm planning on incorporating more strength training now that I'm in maintenance mode. No supplements or anything like that.
 
I read a similar story recently about someone saying it totally changed their life. They lost almost 200 pounds in a year! It's incredible what these meds can do when combined with lifestyle changes. They went from like 430lbs to 230. Wild.
 
Wow, these stories are really motivating! I'm still struggling a bit with seeing the changes in the mirror, but I know it's happening. Someone else on another site said lifting a 45lb weight plate at the gym really helped them visualize how much they'd lost. Might try that!
