How do people without diabetes get these meds? Seems like every diabetic person I know struggles to get them.

If you're feeling good and healthy, congrats. You looked fantastic in the first pic, too.

I support whatever makes you happy and healthy. You looked amazing before as well.

I was 230 pounds and considered obese. It's been a long journey, and GLP-1s helped me lose the most recent 30. Some people are commenting without considering the reality of obesity.

Wow, some of these comments are wild. Thought we were past body shaming. You look happy and healthy, which is what matters.

Beautiful before and after! I liked my heavier figure, but my arthritis and cholesterol didn't!

Too thin in the after pic. Be careful. Check your BMI and adjust accordingly. You looked healthier in the first picture.

Just had my first shot yesterday. Trying to lose around 25 pounds and feel healthier. I'm pre-diabetic with insulin resistance and high cholesterol, but I feel like I don't "deserve" the medication because I'm not obese (yet). Your post gives me the confidence to keep going! Did you reach your goal weight yet? Amazing pics!

It's so important to remember everyone's journey is different. Seeing someone at a 'healthy' weight doesn't mean they were healthy *getting* there, or that they feel good. My labs are better with GLP-1s than they've been in years!

Not quite, but that's okay. It's about health, not a number.PantsOnTheGround said:

For those who have reached their goals, what maintenance doses are you using? I'm trying to get a sense of what works long-term.

I've heard of folks switching to .25mg every other week, along with calorie counting. It's probably more about the calorie counting at that point though.Groovy_Great said:
