I've been trying to lose weight my whole life! I can't believe this is really happening! I'm doing my part (tracking calories, protein, and water intake), and this med is making it doable. I feel so lucky! Lost about 35 pounds in 14 weeks.

Keep going, everyone! We've got this!
 
Isn't it wild? 😂 I started it for type 2 diabetes. The doc explained it, and I was like, whatever, I doubt I'll lose any weight. But it really helped with my diabetes AND weight loss! I dropped about 45 pounds in the first couple of months and have kept it off for a year now with no issues.
 
The way it cut off my hunger and cravings on the very first dose was unreal! I'm down 20 pounds in 5 weeks without really changing my diet (just eating smaller portions!) and no exercising. I went from .25 to 1.0 over a month, and the side effects are manageable.
 
I'm ready to start, but my appetite is still huge. I'm just beginning, so I hope that changes soon. 🙌
 
OMG! These posts are so motivating! Congrats, everyone! What kinds of exercises are you doing to avoid losing muscle while burning fat? I'm trying to find the right balance. 😅

I've been trying to increase my protein intake and lifting light weights 3 times a week. Nothing crazy, but hopefully it helps!
 
It's not just the weight loss; it's the mental burden that disappears. I've tried everything to lose weight, but this is the first time it's truly working. Down 46 lbs since March '25 - that's WILD.
 
I've had to completely give up my beloved pasta and bread, at least for now. I've also become a bit of a shopping addict – new clothes, new jewelry, new makeup for a new me!
