Two Year Oz Journey

Some of you might recall when I first came here - my blood sugar was a mess, and I was immediately started on a cocktail of meds: a GLP-1, an ACE inhibitor, Metformin, and a statin. I weighed 244 pounds at the time. I felt terrible.

Fast forward two years: I'm now 156, off all meds except Mounjaro (switched from Ozempic a month ago after a long stall). I can now go biking with my kid, I fit comfortably in any chair, and buying clothes is actually fun (though the sizing variations across different stores can be a bit of a mind trip). Food is no longer my only focus. I've got my life back. This medication has been transformative, and it's definitely not a shortcut. I'll be here to see my kid grow up, and I'm going to celebrate every non-scale victory!
 
Fantastic effort! You had great style before, and tailoring really helps. x I'm not sure it's effortless weight loss to be honest, though reasonably easy, congratulations.
What's life like without the other meds? I've read such mixed opinions. 👏👏👏😂😂
 
TrueQueen Definitely. Ozempic worked wonders, but I hit a wall. Swapping to Mounjaro seems to be what I needed to get the scale moving again. Plus, I like not taking so many pills!
 
For those experiencing a plateau on semaglutide, tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) can be a viable alternative due to its dual mechanism of action, targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Always consult with your doctor to determine the best course of treatment.
 
I'm so glad to hear about your success! I've been on semaglutide for over a year now, but like you,

. I'm considering switching to Tirze too. It's inspiring to hear your experience.
 
It's amazing how much these meds can change your life. In just about 4 months, my clothes are fitting so much better and I can breathe much easier when I walk. Loving the energy!
 
I'm at my one-year anniversary with these meds as well, and it’s been life-altering. I started on sema, eventually reaching 2.5mg, but switched to Tirze after plateauing. Currently on 7.5mg and feeling good! SW 256, CW 158. My original goal was 159, but now I'm thinking maybe 145ish?!
