That's amazing work. Going from where you started to here in 9 months - the effort you put in really shows. You didn't just lose weight, you got your health back. Seriously impressive.
My spouse wanted me to clarify - he's down 20 actually. Started at the higher range of normal weight, now at the lower end. He's 5'9, was 150 and is 130 now.
get why you're wondering if it's working - lots expect big obvious change fast but for most it's gradual. what you described sounds normal. feeling full on less food is a sign things are shifting even if it doesn't feel dramatic. these meds build slow and not everyone gets that heavy 'full' feeling. first signs can be small appetite or portion changes.
