Slow progress is still progress!

My heaviest was around 290 pounds. Managed to drop some weight on my own, but it was a constant battle. When I started my GLP-1 journey, I was squeezing into size 20 jeans, sometimes even a 24. I hate wearing them. Recently, I tried on a size 12 and they fit! Didn't buy them though, still not a jeans person. I'm currently at 170 lbs. The scale hasn't budged in about a month. I upped my water intake, tried stacking different meds for a couple weeks, but nothing seems to be working. The good news is, it's not going up! I still have about 20-25 lbs of stubborn fat I want gone, especially around my stomach. But it's only 25 lbs, not 100+ lbs. I'm only 50 lbs from being over 200 lbs, but also 50 lbs away from weighing 120 lbs. That's wild to me. I haven't been this weight since I was in school. The meds have really quieted down the food cravings. I always thought I just lacked discipline. I assumed other people who were good at diets were just stronger than me. Maybe they had those same cravings but could ignore them, and I never could. I just thought I'd always be overweight because I chose junk food over dieting... until now. These medications have changed my life. I'm so much happier, and if these were around a decade ago, I can't imagine the confidence I would've had. I'm losing weight slowly, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I'm an older guy and wish these medications were available years ago—my self-image would have been totally different. I'm happy to say I'm down 55 lbs! Just a few more to go. Been on sema for 9 months or so. I was stuck for about 5 weeks but i broke through it. It's strange when you stop losing—I think our bodies just want to adjust. My plateau has passed, and my body is ready to lose again. Congrats on your progress and great observations!
 
You look amazing! It's so obvious that you've transformed. The weight loss really shows in your face. And that dress is adorable, by the way.
 
It doesn't matter how long it took, the important thing is you did it! Also, you look great! I'd have to know your dosage and diet to give my thoughts on the stall. There are tons of helpful people here. Let's get you to your goal!
 
I agree with IMO, don't worry about how long it takes. I'm on month 9 myself and still seeing progress. Plateaus happen, but they don't last forever!
 
I'm down about 120lbs myself, I started at a very high weight too. Still got about 30lbs to go. The journey is so worth it.

I can't believe how much the glp1 silences the food noise. I always thought I lacked willpower.

I so relate to this! It's like a switch flipped.
