I've been dreaming about this since starting my injections last fall. Like, November maybe? Almost a year ago. I'm speechless... is this real life?
298 lbs!!!! After being stuck at 301 for weeks, did I REALLY see that number this morning?
I've struggled with my weight forever. Grew up with limited access to good medical care and hit a children's size 16 by, like, 5th grade. By the time I was in high school, I was pushing 240. As an adult, I've mostly stayed in the 360-380 range for a long time. Unfortunately, I hit 400 last year and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Then, I spent almost 3 weeks in the hospital with a really nasty infection.
I left the hospital back in Feb '23 at 400lbs and decided I needed a change. I'm turning 30 this year and want the chance to live my life. I dropped about 15 lbs naturally from Feb-Oct '23 before starting the injections in October at 385 lbs and here I am, 298 pounds, less than a year later!!!!!
I know some people here started at lower weights. But I'm proof that it works even when you're starting over 350 lbs.
