Over a Year of Progress!

[Bee-IMO]

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience. I kicked off this journey in Feb '23. Stuck with the starting dose for about 5 months. I'm 5'2", started at 240 lbs, and now, 14 months later, after being on the highest dose for 4 months, I'm down to 150! My bloodwork is fantastic, everything's in the green except cholesterol, but I'm tackling that. I walked every day in the beginning, but the winter blues hit hard, and my motivation dipped. Now I'm losing about a pound a week, or sometimes just maintaining.

Wonderful progress! I'm also finding it hard to stay motivated to exercise with this cold weather.

 

[Bee-IMO]

Totally! My treadmill is currently being used to dry stuff.

Fantastic!!! Hormone replacement therapy can be helpful for cholesterol. Check out the community

Thanks! I am also taking the oral version, low dose, for maintenance.

 

[Salad-Better]

When you mention the highest dose, are you referring to 2.4mg?

Impressive!

I kicked off this journey in Feb '23... I'm down to 150!

Excellent progress Bee-IMO! I'm guessing you feel a lot better now too?

 

[Bee-IMO]

Thank you! BigTex_Slim, It is a very great feeling. I can do so much more.

I agree with Bee-IMO, the weight loss is great, but the energy increase is wonderful. I'm down 50 pounds in about 9 months, but even 10 pounds made a difference!

For anyone struggling, remember that diet and exercise are still important while taking these medications. I saw a guy drop 145 pounds in a year by strength training 5 times a week. Amazing what can happen with commitment.

I'm just over a year in myself, and finally under 200 lbs! It's been a combination of consistent diet, exercise, and the medication. It's definitely not effortless.
