That older dress I haven't worn in over a year? Still had the tie where I'd knotted it to fit my waist. Crazy.

I've been on sema for about that long. Down 61 lbs as of this morning. Just 13 more pounds to go! I'm 43F, 5'8". SW: 224lbs, Current: 163lbs, GW: 150lbs.

That's so awesome! I'm hoping to have similar success. Just started last week, kinda nervous.
 
Well done. I'm seeing changes, too, and feeling great! After having my daughter, my weight just kept climbing. I have PCOS, and nothing worked. Semaglutide's made all the difference. SW: 180lbs CW: 139 Goal: 135, 5’3”

That's wonderful to hear! It's so encouraging to see the positive impact on those with PCOS.
 
r/glp1_loss100plus exists for a reason. I'm 135 down in two years. It's doable. Be patient with yourself — this takes time.
 
The knotted tie on a dress you haven't worn in a year is one of those very specific surprise moments. 36 and going from 196 is a real achievement even if it feels smaller next to the bigger transformations. Those milestones that hit unexpectedly - old clothes suddenly fitting differently - are the ones that stick.
 
Babe, you're still gorgeous, don't stress about it. Also, massive congrats on how far you've come!!!

I'm on my own weight loss path too, and yeah it's bittersweet letting go of favorite outfits, but I love treating myself to new pieces, or digging up old ones that never used to fit.

took about 100 pounds gone before i actually needed to size down a dress. then dropped roughly six sizes over the next 50 pounds after that. for me most of that first year's loss came off my arms and legs, way less off my torso. my stomach's still carrying real softness even at goal weight. being in menopause plays a role too, dropping estrogen shifts where fat settles and mine clearly heads straight to the belly. made my peace with that reality at this point.
