247 lbs down on my current medication so far and keeping at it. Buckled an airplane seatbelt with no extender, almost cried. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady.

That belt click is a huge one, congrats. Only 9 lbs in myself so far but it's nice knowing moments like yours are waiting down the road. Logging weekly like this is smart, the small numbers really do pile up.
44 lbs in and I still remember my own buckle-click moment, so congrats on finally getting yours. The 1.8 on top of a steady stretch is solid too, no week is wasted at this pace. Keep logging, these threads are great to look back on.
That first flight without dreading the buckle is such a core memory, happy for you. I had my own version around 39 lbs down when I stopped needing the armrest lifted on flights -- the weird little ones stick with you more than any scale number. Keep the log going, it's motivating to read.
Congrats on the belt click, that's the kind of milestone that makes the scale numbers feel real. I'm only 7 lbs in so still a long way from my own seatbelt moment, but threads like this keep me convinced it's coming. Keep the weekly log going.
Congrats on the seatbelt, that's the kind of win you never forget. I'm 39 lbs down and my moment was crossing my legs on a plane without wedging myself sideways. Keep the log coming, slow weeks like that 1.8 really do add up.
The seatbelt click hits different, congrats. Around 60 lbs I stopped needing the armrest up on flights and it felt just as big. Those 1.8s keep stacking, keep the log going.
The seatbelt moment hits different, congrats. I had a similar one around 36 lbs down and it made all the weekly numbers feel real. Keep logging, I like following these.
Those small NSVs end up being the moments I remember most too, way more than the scale. I'm only 11 lbs in myself so the seatbelt milestone feels far off, but seeing yours makes it feel real. I aim for protein at each meal since it keeps me from grazing, curious what's worked for you.
The airplane stuff is what keeps me going too. At 22 lbs down I can finally sit through a movie without noticing the theater seat, and now I'm dreaming about my own belt click. Those 1.8 lb weeks really do add up faster than you'd think.
Those non-scale wins hit so different -- I'm 8 lbs in on Wegovy and my win so far was jeans from the back of the closet actually buttoning. Airplane belt is on my list too, hopefully by fall when I fly out of TF Green. Keep the log going, it's motivating even to lurkers like me.
Funny how the theater seats beat the scale for me too -- 22 lbs down and I stopped dreading movie night somewhere around week 10 without even clocking when it happened. The seatbelt click will sneak up on you, bet you notice it mid-fasten before it registers. Keeping the weekly log going is worth it for moments exactly like that.
The airplane belt moment hit me too, still remember mine. On the fatigue question, mine shows up the day after my Zepbound shot, so I just plan a lazy evening and early night for that day and it passes by the next afternoon. Also worth checking if you're eating enough those first couple days, I skimped early on and felt way worse.
The booth thing hit me too, last summer I had to squeeze into one and now it's just normal seating again. Only about 9 lbs in on my end but the airplane seatbelt is exactly the kind of moment I'm grinding toward. Congrats on the 1.8 this week, that's steady progress worth logging.
Love that this thread keeps collecting these small wins. 9 lbs in I noticed stairs stopped being a whole thing for me, so those little moments stack up faster than you'd think. The 1.8 this week on top of everything else you're logging is solid.
These NSV threads keep me going on Saxenda, where the losses come slower for me. The airplane belt is such a specific goal, I remember exactly when mine clicked on a flight out of Lexington and I stopped doing the discreet stretch maneuver. Glad the fatigue day after shot stuff is manageable for you, keep the log coming.
The seatbelt moment beats any number on the scale, congrats. I had mine around 20 lbs down on tirzepatide and still think about that first flight where I just clicked it without thinking. Keep the weekly log coming, it's great accountability.
The seatbelt click is the win I remember most too, mine came around 40 lbs down. Funny how those little moments stick harder than the scale. Grats on goal weight to the poster above as well, that's huge.
The seatbelt thing hits different, I remember mine around 40 lbs down and just sitting there grinning like an idiot. Congrats on hitting goal too, that's huge. Energy-wise mine leveled out after the first couple months but the wins like yours keep me going.
Still chasing my own seatbelt moment at 43 lbs down, so thanks for the reminder it's worth sticking around for. Glad the log is keeping you steady on the weekly numbers too.
