Scale's not everything!

Isn't life weird? I signed up at the gym since I was feeling down about myself. I haven't lost weight since early spring, and even though I work out, I still felt like I looked the same as when I weighed 240+ lbs last year. While getting ready for the gym, I found an old purse I haven’t used since last year. Wow! Talk about a wake up call! So, newbies, remember to measure yourself!

Thanks for posting! Just a reminder about the rules. No discussing non-approved stuff or trying to buy/sell anything, even in PMs. Be careful out there!

I totally agree! You gotta take measurements! I didn’t know how much I had shrunk until I measured and compared it to my stats when I started.

That's wonderful. My telehealth provider measures my waist in addition to tracking weight. They explained that sometimes the tape measure tells a better story than the scale does.

Outstanding progress!!!

Good call! I found an old purse of mine for comparison and that wasn’t even when I was at my highest weight ever recently.

So motivational!!! I’m finishing my last week of 0.25mg and I’ve been self conscious about my current size to measure. No more!!! Thank you for sharing. You’re glowing!!

And no loose skin! Lucky you being young. I started last fall and only started dropping pounds last month (not sure if it was the medication or a bug), but I look like a deflated balloon.

Woo hoo!

You look incredible! Good job!

I just had to get a new belt, since my jeans were slipping. Instead of trashing the old one, I'm putting it away as a reminder for moments like this!

I hear ya! I'm losing slowly, and worrying about loose skin too. I'm trying to drink tons of water and moisturize like crazy. Hopefully that helps!

It's important to remember that semaglutide isn't a magic bullet. It helps, but lifestyle changes are critical for long-term success. Diet and exercise are still essential. Otherwise, you might just regain any weight lost.

Exactly! It's a tool, not a cure. You still have to put in the work.

I agree with Flex_Tale. I am working out to help with the sema. It really makes me feel better!

I wish I had started sooner. I agree slow and steady is the way to go. Also, I lost a little at first, but once I got to the full dosage it really started working.
