Okay, so the first snapshot is from last year, and the second was taken maybe ten days ago. Check it - same jeans! I still haven't reached my ultimate number, though. I started around 260, and at my checkup two weeks back, I was 210. I actually look even trimmer now than in this recent pic. Just felt like sharing the progress!
 
That's quite a change! How long after beginning on the medication did you start any strength workouts?

Congrats - you look fantastic!
 
For those asking if I work out, yeah! I started lifting weights about a month after starting the medication. It's helped a lot!

That's phenomenal progress in a relatively short time! What dose are you on? I hear some people have to titrate up slowly to minimize side effects.
 
QuirkyKing I'm on 1mg most of the time. Side effects have been pretty mild, thankfully! The craziest thing? I think I had some kind of undiagnosed binge eating issues before, and it's just...gone now. Like a switch flipped. I track cals, but I don't forbid any foods. Smaller portions of the good stuff, and lots of water and low-cal foods to fill me up.
 
Thanks for sharing your story, Toni1991! It's REALLY encouraging to hear that. I got the same diagnosis as you, and my doc acted like bariatric surgery was the only way. So disheartening. Your results give me hope!
