I still get waves of nausea sometimes, but I'm SO much better than before. I didn't realize how heavy I'd become. A photo from our family trip to Ireland was a real wake-up call. I was too tired to enjoy anything! I started the injections a few weeks later. Now, a year later, I've lost around 45 pounds, I'm learning how to do a cartwheel, I have energy, and I'm engaged to my amazing fiancé who has always loved me. I'm so thankful every day.
Start weight: 240 Current weight: 195 Goal weight: 175. I’m 5'10 and 27.

I agree completely. My life has changed so dramatically. I hated being so heavy. I deprived myself for years. I exercised and avoided all carbs for so long. I could barely squeeze into a size 12. Now I eat what I want in moderation, focusing on protein and veggies. If I want a treat, I can have a small portion and be satisfied. I wear a size 6 now. I wish I'd had access to GLP-1s back in my 30s. I'm 65, but so grateful to have these meds now.
 
That's fantastic, congratulations! Wishing you and your fiancee a long, happy, and healthy life together.
 
This is the best thing I've read today! You were beautiful before and after your weight loss. Your pictures were great. And your guy is handsome! Congrats to you both.
 
I understand that feeling. I wasn’t able to walk all the way up to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. My sweetie went up without me. It was our anniversary trip, and I wasn’t feeling sexy or beautiful. I carry excess weight in my face also. I wish I could redo that trip as the woman I am today. Everything would be so different!

My husband has suggested a do-over trip… but I’m considering spending that cash on a mommy makeover. I was wearing size 20 bottoms and 2-3x tops. Now I fit into size 8 jeans, and medium tops. I'm dealing with excess skin. With clothes on, I look pretty good. Without clothes.. not so much. Better, but I'll be 67 soon. My skin hasn’t snapped back, but I’m giving it time. He says I look great. I believe him, but I’d like tighter skin.

Still, I'll take loose skin and energy over what my life was before. I also thank God for GLP meds. They are truly transformative!
 
Reading your story makes me feel like I should be more open about it. Right now I've only told a few friends. It's weird, I'm almost ashamed? Maybe because I'm afraid I'll gain it all back. Has anyone else felt scared to tell people?
 
I've noticed a significant decline in my libido since starting these meds. Has anyone else experienced this? It's impacting my relationship.
