Half a Year Down, Down 90 lbs! Whoa!

[DoseIRL709]

So, I've been on 1mg most of the time, and the side effects have been pretty minimal. Honestly, the biggest thing is I think I had some kind of eating issue I didn't even realize. Once I started the medication, it just...stopped. Like a switch flipped. Those constant cravings I had before? Gone. I still log my calories, but I don't really restrict myself. I just eat smaller portions of the higher calorie stuff and load up on water and low-calorie foods so I feel full. I'm averaging around 15 lbs lost each month, but I still have a ways to go!

This is probably the most inspiring post I've seen about this med. Fantastic job!

That's awesome! You must look amazing. I'm three months in myself, hoping to have the same kind of success you're having. Keep it up!

Fantastic job! We're all so proud of you!

Wow, that's a ton of weight to drop in just six months on the drug. Are you doing any exercise too? Way to go!

Thank you for this post. My doctor told me I have a long way to go and surgery would be better. I was so bummed out, but your post gives me hope! Needed that!

So great for you!

Isn’t it crazy how you don’t really see the changes until you do a before and after? It’s amazing! Keep up your awesome work

That's excellent! You look fantastic, and younger, and I bet you feel better too. I really appreciate people who post before and after pics. It keeps me motivated!

I agree with ToneBetter803 - seeing the progress pics really helps. I saw a woman post recently that she's lost over 100 pounds since starting her medication in May. Her type 2 diabetes is under control now, too! Makes me want to keep going!

I'm in the middle of cleaning out my closet and getting rid of all my old larger-sized clothes. It feels so good!

Yes! I had to do that to really see it!

My blood pressure is way down since starting. And my sleep apnea is much better. Anyone else notice improvements in those areas?

That's great to hear! I haven't had those issues, but it's good to know there are other benefits!
