Wow, I see a huge difference!

About half a year ago I started taking Mounjaro. My highest weight was around 340lbs, and when I started the medication, I was at 330lbs. This morning I weighed in at 273lbs! I had a photo taken at my drama rehearsal, and I was shocked at how "average" I looked. I'm still a big person, but it feels really good not to feel so much larger than everyone else. I'm excited to keep working hard and losing weight! I feel more confident and active. I can do long rehearsals without being out of breath. Thanks for reading about my journey!

Wow, you look so much younger!

Seriously, you look like a before/after ad! Amazing progress, and your skin looks great too. Keep up the awesome work!

It's weird to be "big" for so long and then see yourself shrinking. Intellectually I know it takes time, but it feels like a fast change. You've clearly put in work, congrats!

What kind of outfit are you wearing on the left?

 

[half-of-me]

You look great! Can you share some details about what you eat?

Hi Tracy_1985! I'm just starting out, but well done you! You look so gorgeous! How are you getting on with it so far?

 

[Groovy_Great]

It's amazing how weight loss can make you look younger. Keep losing, and people will think your parents don't know you're on this forum!

Congrats and keep it up!

Good analogy about being imprisoned in your body.

How do you feel now that you're losing weight?

Oh wow you look amazing, well done!

 

[Tracy_1985]

Looks like two different people! Well done!

 

[MDW-to-ATL]

Congratulations! You look amazing!

 

[not-today-scale]

Congratulations!

 

[half-of-me]

Fantastic progress! Keep it up!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! To answer a few questions:

not-today-scale, I was wearing a loose fitting tunic top with leggings. It was a really comfortable but unflattering outfit, LOL.

half-of-me, I try to eat a balanced diet with lots of protein and vegetables. I'm also focusing on portion control and trying to avoid processed foods as much as possible.

I hear you Hank_2005. Sometimes I think it's better to actually SEE the progress instead of just relying on the scale. I had a similar experience, I went up to 2mg, but it was too hard on my stomach, so I'm back at 1mg now. Anyone else experience that?

I agree about seeing the progress! I had a funeral to go to and realized I could fit into a pair of medium-sized pants from a few years back!! Big win!

One year ago I had a ton of health issues. I didn't realize how overweight I was until I saw a picture. Pictures don't lie.. Selfies are easy to fake though!
