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.

For what it's worth, Buckled an airplane seatbelt with no extender, almost cried.

Adding my two cents: Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. You've got this.

Late to this but Got off one of my blood pressure meds. Tied my shoes without it being a whole production. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Buckled an airplane seatbelt with no extender, almost cried. Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. You've got this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Coming back to this thread — Maintenance for three months now and holding. Tied my shoes without it being a whole production. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Adding my two cents: Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Walked up three flights of stairs and wasn't out of breath.

Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. Fit into a restaurant booth comfortably, small thing but huge. Hang in there.
