Officially down 41 pounds! I'm getting closer to my final target weight, but I'm super happy where I'm at now. It took me like, 9 months to get here, a bit slower than some others I've seen, but I'll take it! Seeing that first picture really showed me how much I needed to make a change. I'm considered to be in a healthy BMI range now and my doctor said my cholesterol is way better!
 
I kinda needed to see this. I'm at 8 weeks and only lost like, 6 pounds. I feel like it's so little I don't even notice a change, but damn, you lost around 4 pounds every month?! That's an impressive change when you put it like that!

Don't get discouraged! Everyone loses at a different pace. It's a marathon, not a sprint. The important thing is that you're seeing positive changes. Plus, consistency is key!

Any issues with loose skin? Did any stretch marks disappear?

I was worried about loose skin so I started doing some weight training and that seems to be helping! No stretch marks have gone away completely, but they're definitely less noticeable now.
 
It's important to manage expectations with these meds. We see a lot of huge success stories, but more moderate, consistent loss is still a major win for long-term health. Even a 10-15% reduction in body weight can drastically improve things like cholesterol, blood pressure, and insulin resistance.
 
I'm down like, 40ish lbs over the last two years or so (started around 240, now hovering around 200). It's been gradual, but I'm actually happy it's been slower! Gives my skin more time to adjust, you know?
