Sema Journey: Down 75, Keeping it Off!

[Bobby58]

Hit my goal! Shed 75 lbs and kept it off for almost a year now! Started doing strength training in the last year, never really worked out before this.

Wow you look like you're in your early 20's!

That color looks amazing on you.

You seem to have knocked off like two decades, you look fantastic!

Are you still taking the medication to maintain?

 

[MaintenanceMode]

That's a serious transformation!

You look great! What does your daily eating look like?

 

[Bobby58]

Congrats! What med are you on and what's your current dose?

 

[TheQuest280]

You look like you found the fountain of youth!

Seriously you look way younger now.

 

[KelsK6]

I love this, you look great.

 

[JuiceSet664]

You're killing it! You look amazing in both pictures though!

 

[Nat_92]

You look like you've always been slim! Gorgeous!

Congratulations. I've lost about 70lbs and want to lose maybe another 10, but I might stop the Ozempic since my blood sugar is getting a little low with my low carb diet. You look fantastic!

I lost around 75 lbs as well and have been on this forum for a couple of years. I'd say this is one of the best transformations I've come across on here. It must be so fun to see people you haven't seen in a while! Unreal. Don't let it happen again.

Have you had your thyroid levels checked or seen an endocrinologist? There could be other hormonal things going on. Also, are you taking any other meds that might be affecting your appetite?

I'm curious for those of you who have been on sema for a while, are you planning to stay on it long-term? I'm a bit worried about the appetite suppression wearing off eventually.

I've been on for about 18 months and plan to continue indefinitely. I dropped about 30 pounds initially and have been stable for the past 6 months. Still have about 20 to go but not stressing, I feel great!

If the sema stops working, have you considered tirzepatide? I've heard good things about it for people who plateau on semaglutide.

curious what dose everyone's sweet spot is? noticed it hits everyone different even with same builds. I went from 197 to 175, mostly diet and cardio, just titrated from 1mg to 1.5mg last week. anyone here on 4mg or higher?
