How to find a reliable supplier
Ha, this thread being a wholesome break makes it my favorite read today too. For what it's worth I'm down 115 lbs, so threads like this are a nice reminder of how far the community's come while we laugh about supplier drama. Glad you found the same little pick-me-up here.
Congrats on the 115 lbs, that's wild. I'm only a couple months into Mounjaro and down single digits so far, but it's nice seeing the lighter side of this stuff for once instead of another sketchy source thread.
37 lbs in myself, so I get the single digits feeling, it picks up. And yeah, threads that don't make me paranoid about sourcing are a nice change of pace.
36 lbs here too, so that "it picks up" comment checks out from my side as well. Single digits felt slow until I looked back at month three versus now. Nice to see a thread that's just good vibes for once.
Down 15 myself and the month three comparison thing is so true, I remember feeling stuck early on and now the difference is obvious in old photos. Threads like this are a nice breather from all the supplier worry posts.
The old photo comparison is what finally made it click for me too, was stuck around 14 down and couldn't see it day to day. Good to have a breather thread like this once in a while.
Down about 16 myself and only just started noticing it in the mirror, so the photo trick is next on my list. Same amount of weight another poster mentioned, funny how similar the stalls feel. Breathes some air into the usual supplier stress around here.
The photo trick kept working for me long past the early stalls too, 41 down now and it's still how I track real change. Weird how the mirror lies but a side-by-side doesn't. Enjoy the breather, this section needs more of it.

I was the same way at my stall around 30 down, mirror said nothing changed but a six month photo side by-side proved otherwise. 66 down now and I still only trust the pictures. Good thread for a breather.
37 down here and the mirror only started cooperating a few weeks ago, the monthly pics were carrying the whole motivation load before that. Threads like this are a nice palate cleanser from the usual supplier hunt dread.
Only 10 down so far but I'm already learning the mirror can't be trusted, so the monthly pics started early for me. Nice to see so many people still leaning on them dozens of pounds in. Good little breather from the usual supplier stress.
40ish down and the mirror still lies to me constantly, but my side-by-sides from last winter don't. Funny how a thread about nothing serious turns out to be the most useful reality check of the week.
Down 46 on Wegovy and my mirror still pulls the same tricks, so the winter side-by-sides are the only evidence I trust either. Nice having an off-topic thread where nobody's asking where to source anything.
38 down on oral and the mirror still gaslights me too, so the monthly pics are basically my receipt system at this point. Also second the relief of a thread with zero sourcing drama in it.
Doctor was thrilled with my numbers at this visit. My last check-up came back looking great. Keep the updates coming.
The photo comparison thing hits home for me too, down around 24 and my brain refuses to register it day to day. Funny how the "reliable supplier" title turned into the most relaxed thread on the board. Lab work being solid is the real win here, congrats.
