Savings card exhausted — what are my options?

This community saved my first month on medication. I came here when I was ready to quit at week 3 and people here convinced me to push through. It's now month 5 and I'm down 38 lbs. Thank you all.

Maintenance for three months now and holding. Scale didn't move but my rings fit again.

Adding my two cents: Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. Rooting for you.

Coming back to this thread, The mental side is harder than people admit. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone's different of course.
