I hit my highest weight of 330 back in '12. Took me years of watching what I ate and working out to drop down to around 240, but it crept back up to 263. Started on 5 mg of a GLP-1 in January '26, bumped up to 10 mg recently. This morning? 199! Lowest I've been in like, 25 years. Just need to lose about 10 more to reach my goal. I'm 52 and never thought I'd see this. This med has been life-changing for me.
 
Thanks, everyone! Been a long road. For those just starting, don't get discouraged. Slow and steady wins the race. Set those mini-goals! I started out just wanting to get below 300. Now look at me!
 
I agree with TBH about mini-goals. They really do help you stay motivated. Also, take measurements! Sometimes the scale doesn't budge, but your clothes fit differently. That's still progress!
 
I started shopping at secondhand stores. It feels better than buying new (less waste!) and it's easier on the wallet. I try to get one or two new items every few weeks. When my old clothes look too big, I drop them off at the same store.
 
That's a really good idea about the thrift store, Kerry50! I'm down about 40 pounds since starting, and my clothes are definitely looser, but I'm nervous about buying new stuff in case I lose more and then they don't fit :/
