Just sitting here after another good week on my compound Tirzepatide and felt the urge to say how much this forum has helped me stay sane since I started. Between the side effect tips and the milestone cheers, I honestly don't think I'd have stuck with it this long without you all. Down 35 lbs from Louisville and feeling grateful for this weird little corner of the internet.

35 lbs is huge, congrats. I'm over in Lexington only about 7 lbs into my Zepbound journey so far, and posts like yours keep me believing it keeps working. Threads like this are exactly why I stick around too.

#3

Threads like this are a good reminder of why I lurk here daily. I'm only a few lbs in myself and seeing folks hit numbers like yours makes the rough weeks feel temporary. Congrats on 35, that's no small thing.

#5

Congrats, 35 down is a milestone worth posting about. The side effect threads saved me early on too, stuff I never would've figured out solo. Grateful for this place as well.

#6

Still near the start of my own journey but the hard-won tips here (ginger chews for queasy days, small bites) already saved me twice. Congrats on 35, that's the kind of number that keeps the rest of us going.

#7

Threads like this are why I lurk here daily. Down 4 lbs myself, barely a blip next to your 35, but seeing someone stack that many good weeks makes the early grind feel worth it. Grateful for this place too.

#9

22 lbs in myself and this thread is a nice reminder of why I keep checking in. Those queasy-day tricks got me through my rough first month too. Here's to more good weeks for all of us.

#11

Posts like this hit different when you're deep into the journey yourself. Down 53 lbs from Jacksonville, and I second everything about the side effect wisdom people share here being the real glue. Congrats on 35, keep it rolling.

#12

Only a couple months in myself and down single digits so far, so threads like this are proof the rough patch is worth pushing through. The queasy-day tricks here already saved me more than once. Congrats on 35, Louisville!

#13

Threads like this are why I still lurk daily. About 26 down myself and the queasy-day hacks from this place have honestly kept me going more than once. Congrats on the 35, well earned.

#14

Six months on Mounjaro myself and still in the early lbs territory like reply 2, so seeing 35 from the OP and 53 up there gives me something to aim at. The queasy-day tricks alone are worth the price of admission around here. Congrats on 35, and thanks for posting it.

#15

Posts like this hit different when you're 15 down on Wegovy and wondering if the slow weeks mean anything. Turns out they do. Grats on the 35, and yeah, the queasy-day threads here are gold.

#16

These threads are a nice reminder to pause and look back. I'm around 45 down myself and the slow stretches earlier on felt endless until someone here pointed out the trendline matters more than any single week. Congrats on the 35.
