Ok so, I'm 5'8", and carry almost all my extra weight in my midsection. It's like an apron belly, makes me feel super self-conscious. I know surgery is probably the only way to really get rid of it completely, but it still messes with my head a lot.
 
Amazing work! You should totally be proud. I know how frustrating that stomach area can be. Have you ever tried the Tracy Anderson method? I used to find some of her vids free on the Tube way back when, and they really helped change things for me. Maybe they're still floating around out there.
 
I would have guessed you weighed a lot less! Seriously, forget the number on the scale, you look fantastic.
 
You look great!!! I'm also 5'8" and have the same issue with stomach weight. Try switching up where you inject the medication. I was stuck, then changed the site and lost another 8 pounds.
 
Honey, you have come so far! Plateaus are normal! It's a chance to pause a sec and see how far you've come! I've been heavy my whole life. I'm on Mounjaro for diabetes and losing, but can't weigh myself every day (I'm 63!). I changed my thinking and how I talk to myself. Inches count! Clothes sizes count! What size were you? What size are you now? Write down what you eat to see what to cut out. You got this!

Remember when you hit 197 - under 200?! Get a new outfit, a haircut, your nails done! It's a journey, and you are on your way! You are already beautiful! ♥️🙏♥️
 
Wow, you look like you're 120 lbs. I'm around 198 and not having any luck with my shots at all. Been on them for six months! Must be my diet because it stops me from even wanting to eat. I don't know why I'm not losing. Any tips? How long did it take you to lose that weight?
 
Just try to remember how good you felt when you first broke under 200. Remembering those achievements can bring some happiness right now.
 
Wow, your before and after pictures are like night and day. It's not just about the weight loss, it's like a total transformation. You look amazing!

You've lost weight in all the right places, you look especially great in the after pics, your face looks slimmer without being gaunt, your neck is more defined, your arms hang better, and the general puffiness is gone everywhere. And your breasts look lifted, the top you're wearing now seems too big in the cups.

86kg at 173cm is a solid achievement. What's your goal?
 
I think some of y'all are forgetting it's not just about looks, but how we feel. Being super overweight was literally killing us. I'll take not having a perfect body over being sick and obese any day. Gotta have gratitude.
 
Thank goodness for progress pics, right?

I did the same and looking at my before and after really boosted my mood during a stall. You look awesome! You look smaller than 190, that's for sure!
 
Thanks, everyone, for the kind words! I think I'm also getting stressed about not seeing the scale move, and maybe I'm building muscle, which would explain why I'm not losing weight. I'm going to try to focus on other things, like how my clothes are fitting.
 
You know, someone on Reddit made a good point: "Progress isn't always about the number on the scale ✨️" They said that even when the scale doesn't budge, you can still be making progress. Makes sense! Ozempic's just a tool, it's the small choices we make every day that really count. Keep going!
