Scale's a liar!

Hey everyone! Just a friendly reminder that what the scale says is only one way to measure progress. Don't let that number determine how you feel about yourself! In these 2 pics, there's maybe 10lbs difference, but my energy and confidence are through the roof. Keep it up, everyone!!!
 
You look fantastic! I can totally see a difference! I've been on this for 3 months and I've only lost 9 pounds, so I understand what you mean. My face is definitely less puffy. Did you experience any queasiness? Does it become more intense as the dosage increases?
 
You look amazing!! I'm having a similar experience; I'm down around 28 pounds and have lost a ton of inches. Keep up the awesome work, you're doing GREAT!! 😁 💪
 
I needed to read this. Thank you for sharing! I've been working so hard, both with exercise and my diet, but the scale isn't cooperating. It's easy to get discouraged.

I had some mild nausea when I first started, but it faded after a week or two. Staying hydrated and eating smaller, more frequent meals really helped. It didn't get worse with higher doses for me, but everyone's different!
 
I saw someone post about finding an old mountain biking shirt that didn't fit for 25 years and now it does! They went from ~250lbs down to 180lbs. A good reminder to try on clothes from the back of the closet for a non-scale victory!

Thanks for the tips! I'll try the smaller meals. I've been so tired lately, maybe it's an electrolyte thing like someone else mentioned.
 
Started sema 2 weeks ago through Freya, down 5 lbs already. Aiming for 10-15 total since I'm under 5 feet. Second weigh-in showed not just weight dropping but muscle up, body fat down, even my metabolic age came down to my actual age. Feels healthier and happier. Upping dose today per doc.
 
The scale doing the same thing - responding to being questioned by producing a slightly different number the next morning - is why weekly averages matter more than any single reading.
 
The reframe from discipline failure to biology explanation tends to be the unlock for a lot of people - the self-blame model made the problem harder than it had to be and replacing it is underrated as part of what makes this work.
