Back in the day, I shed like 175 lbs with diet and exercise. But something happened... the weight piled back on. So last year, my doc prescribed semaglutide. The pounds practically evaporated for about 8 months. Then I got super sick, thinking it was maybe an ulcer. No clue if the meds caused it, but after stopping, my stomach eventually settled, and I restarted the semaglutide and kept losing.

Now I'm about 210 lbs lighter than my peak weight, with 165 gone thanks to the medicine. I sometimes still get a little queasy if I'm starving. I track my meals with a food diary to keep an eye on my intake. I'm in maintenance now, a little spooky, can't lose forever. People keep saying "you're vanishing!" (I'm not.) No curves, flat chest, never had much of a waist. But I can walk uphill without breathing hard, and I can shop anywhere I want. Used to wear size 28/30, now I'm size 8/10. Best of luck everyone!
 
Hello to the saggy bits group! I've lost 120 lbs and have maybe 10 more to go. I'm dreaming of going thrifting for vintage clothes! Impossible before.
 
Amazing, it's a HUGE achievement! You must feel so amazing. I have also gone through a major 100+ swing in weight and back down again. People can say the rudest things sometimes, but they need to accept you for who you are now. You look great.
 
I really don't care what skinny people think about my meds. They haven't lived it! As a T2 diabetic, I'm on this for the long haul.

You must feel incredible! It’s awful how heavier folks are ignored and face prejudice. I hope your loved ones are supportive.

I am feeling empowered for sure!
 
These meds prove that willpower is BS. The way they shut down cravings shows fighting hormones is futile. Why is long-term Mounjaro an issue when other chronic illnesses aren't questioned? Obesity IS chronic. Great post, Jess_61!
