Still shrinkin' - even when I cheat!

I kinda thought my progress had stalled, but I'm still gradually losing. I've been less strict with my diet recently, which makes it even more surprising.

I never imagined I could get this light. It's kind of surreal.

I'm not worried, I'm not underweight for my height (5'0"). I think I'll deliberately increase my calorie intake now. I don't want to eat larger portions, so I'll need to focus on foods with more calories per bite. I don't want to lose any more, but I have to admit I've never looked better. I guess I'm ready to start spacing out my shots a bit more too.

Start weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 101.6lbs
Height: 5'0"
 
We're almost stat twins! I float between 100-103!! Relaxed my eating too, so I was surprised the scale didn't budge much! Just normal little ups and downs. I've been dialing back my dose by .25mg-.5mg each time and stretching out my shots. I'm at 10 days now. Hoping to get to a tiny maintenance dose every 2 weeks. I'm wary of telling people my weight because they won't get the whole height thing. They hear the number and freak out! But sometimes I just want to SHOUT it from the rooftops!
 
Awesome job. Some folks don't realize how much tougher it is for us shorties. I'm 5'1" and weighed 120 pounds when I was 12 and wasn't even close to chunky. Our body composition is just different. I'm aiming to get down to 130 pounds because that's where I feel my best. SW 174.5 CW 149.8, so still have about 15 more to go. I enjoy reading about other people's progress.
 
I'm curious, over those 7 months, do you recall how much you lost each month? For example, 5 pounds in the first month, 10 pounds in the third month, etc.?
 
Where is everyone getting the semaglutide from? Is it through your doctor, or something else? I need to get started. Between a thyroid problem and menopause, I'm really unhappy with my body.
 
This is amazing, congrats! I'm a little taller (5' 2") and hope to get down to 115. What was your max dose? I'm still increasing mine and am curious what others have taken.
 
We have similar stories. I started sema around April. SW140 CW131 GW110. Thought 110 was a big dream, but 101 is incredible. How many calories are you eating per day? I'm around 1200. And what's your exercise like? I exercise almost every day but maybe do too much cardio. My current dose is .75 mg, and I'm losing, but not as fast as I want.

I wasn't tracking calories closely, honestly. But I'd guess around 1300-1500 most days? Exercise is mostly strength training 3-4 times a week. Nothing crazy!

Definitely talk to your doctor about your health concerns and see if semaglutide is right for you. They can assess your specific situation and make the best recommendation.
