I gotta say, the way I see myself has been all over the place during this whole process. Thinking about conceiving again next spring, so this is my last month on the meds. I finally made myself take some before/after pics. I swear, I thought I looked exactly the same as last summer. Turns out, you CAN really see that I've lost like, 30+ pounds. Feeling good about my body for the first time in what feels like forever! Take pics, everyone!!
 
Congrats! The difference is 100% visible. So glad you're feeling happier when you look in the mirror. My midsection is still pretty big, but it's shrinking for sure.
 
That’s so inspiring! I literally just picked up my prescription. Starting this weekend. Any advice? How did you feel when you started?
 
Thanks, everyone! To answer WellGuy, I'm not sure what happened with the stretch marks. Maybe they just faded naturally as I lost weight?
 
I can really relate to this post, Avery08! I started at over 200 lbs and got down to around 150 on this medication. I was feeling amazing! Then I got pregnant unexpectedly and gained a lot of it back. I'm back on the meds now after having the baby and working hard to get back to where I was. It's a real journey!
