Hit 75 lb Loss Goal!

Started in Oct 2024 at 287 lbs (5'7", 56F), now at 206.9. Been on 0.25mg and it keeps hunger pretty quiet most days. Went from couch to 3-mile walks daily. Still got 50 to go but I'm committed to shedding this weight I've carried for 20+ years.
 
Every diet I've tried was fake change. You're hungry the whole time so once you hit goal the old ways come back. Only way off is if they create something that fixes the body's hormone production itself.
 
Been stacking similar for a few months now. Plan to stick with just the tirzepat once I reach my number - seems manageable on its own. Combo has definitely sped things up and helped with the fatigue side of things.
 
I weigh myself daily and graph it out to see the real trend underneath the fluctuation. My official weigh-in day is Wednesday. Hit a rough stall stretch that got in my head briefly, but it actually taught me to follow my own advice and just stay consistent. Thinking about getting a DEXA scan to measure muscle loss versus fat reduction over time.
 
not enough experience to recommend dosing yet but if you're dealing with back issues, isotonic exercises saved my life post-fusion. keep your upper body strength no matter what — you'll need it. be careful with pain meds, that habit is way harder to break than the original injury.
 
this is a nice writeup on na epitalon but there's no human research unlike regular epitalon. mostly self-reported stuff like we'd do here. article says 1-5mg sq but na being more bioavailable, might work better as a nasal spray. making a spray at 250mcg per spray and starting there.
 
At 5'3 starting postpartum from 205, now at 157 is a solid track record. The front-loaded loss in months 1-3 is pretty consistent across the board - body responds hardest to the initial caloric adjustment. The slower stretch after is the grind phase but the losses still add up. 48 lbs postpartum puts you in a strong position.
 
236 to 161 on 75 lbs at 5'3" from May 2024 is the outcome that makes the family conversation mean something. The motivation that started there and the year of execution producing it is the full story. Reaching target is the inflection point, not the ending - maintenance phase is next.
 
Doctor erratic behavior around a long-term medication is worth documenting - GLP-1 as metabolic management is a chronic condition protocol, not a temporary weight fix. Seventy-five pounds down means it's working.
