Seatbelt success!

[Queen_2024]

Hey everyone! I had a really cool experience yesterday. I got on a plane, and for the first time since starting on this medication, I didn't need to max out the seatbelt. I'd even bought one of those extenders before. This time, I actually had to tighten the belt! It was a little emotional, and I snapped a pic. I wanted to share my win with people who'd understand since most of my friends and family don't know I'm taking anything. You can do this!

I know that feeling! It's so awesome when you realize you don't need the extender anymore. Way to go!

That's awesome! Gives me hope. My goal's the same - hoping to ditch the extender when I fly next month.

That is just wonderful news! Congratulations!

That's amazing!! Such a good feeling, right?

Yessss!!! I love to travel, and this makes me incredibly happy to read! Totally made my day brighter!

I used to travel at around 450 pounds. Needed a seatbelt extender for almost two decades... It's an experience you’ll never forget. Just magical!

 

[Queen_2024]

So awesome to hear that, Protein_Sis! I'm so proud of you!

 

[CompoundRoad]

Happy for you! I'm excited for my next flight now. I always feel embarrassed asking for the extender.

Another win! Congrats!

I saw someone post about losing nearly 130 pounds since May! Said diet was key but also plays pickleball and does peloton. That's amazing motivation!

 

[Tone_998]

That's great Protein_Sis. I've been hitting the gym more often lately and it really helps. It's encouraging to see other people feeling good too.

I saw someone mention that semaglutide helped them lose 100 lbs this year, but it was because they worked with a specialized team that personalized their dose and focused on gut health and muscle support. No big nausea, kept their energy. Sounds like the way to go!

Could be a blood sugar thing — low blood sugar can feel like what you're describing.

happens to me every time — get super sad and anxious the day after my shot, lasts 4-5 days. skip the injection for a couple weeks and i'm fine. soon as i pin again, crying and anxious all over. it's 100% the medicine, not about eating or anything else. sucks but i'm aware now.

Just got diagnosed with prediabetes and jumped on Mounjaro. I'm pretty anxious about meds in general—got OCD, health anxiety—so I'm freaking out a little. Anyone have tips for starting without spiraling? I keep reading the horror stories and my brain won't stop.

Been through weight loss depression before I ever tried this. It's real. Leanness below a point just tanks mood. Could be weight loss itself in your case, or the med's effect on reward stuff. Either way, worth taking seriously.
