Size comparions - anyone else?

[Wes_80]

I'm 5'3", started around 224 lbs, picture on the left was probably around 185 lbs, current is 143 lbs. Been keeping at this weight for maybe half a year now but still enjoy comparing old pics! Started on sema around last November.

Before this, food signals ran constant, stealing my day's rhythm. Kitchen visits filled every gap. Now work productivity soars with so much empty time on my hands. Still here scrolling the forum more than before.

I started at 227 so this really gives me hope. Congrats on your success!

Hello ribs !

 

[Erin71]

You look incredible! Such motivation for another 5'3" person who's still over 200 lbs.

You look fantastic! Besides the medication, what other changes did you make?

 

[Maintenance_Mode]

You look great!

I seem to be struggling with some belly flab. It looks like you just got tighter.

I that dress!

We're the same height, I'm guessing around the same age, and I'm close to your starting weight with a goal of 140. Thanks for posting, it feels impossible to me

If you could give your starting self some advice, what would it be?

Thanks everyone! To answer some questions, I also made sure to increase my protein intake and started doing some light weight training about 3 months in. Nothing crazy but it seems to have helped!

That's great to hear! I've been trying to focus on protein as well. @Wes_80 Did you have any trouble with nausea from the medication at first?

 

[Maintenance_Mode]

I agree with @FiberTracker, it's hard to picture the end results when you're first starting. It's awesome to see real results like this! Thanks for the inspiration!

Amazing transformation! It's not just the weight loss, you look years younger! So much healthier. Huge congrats!

...Did you have any trouble with nausea from the medication at first?

Yes, definitely. It was the worst in the first few weeks, especially after the dose increases. Eating smaller meals more often helped, and so did ginger ale.

so frustrated. been on this since october, down 10 lbs but losing hair like crazy. happy about the weight but for what this costs i wanted more. the hair loss bothers me way more than i expected. wondering if it's even worth the money.
