Reached my goal weight yesterday and I'm still processing it. 14 months ago I weighed 298 lbs. Today I weigh 183 lbs. 115 lbs. I don't have the words for what that means to me. I'm going to write a full post soon but for now I just needed to say it somewhere that people would understand.

The mental shift is real and nobody talks about it enough. By month 3 I stopped thinking about food constantly. I'd walk past a donut shop and feel nothing. That's not willpower — that's the medication working on a neurological level. I genuinely feel like a different person and it's still a bit surreal.

Honestly, Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Keep going, seriously. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Same here, Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
