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.

Honestly, I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Rooting for you.

Late to this but Cheering you on from here. This past year has been the biggest change of my life. What helped you push through the plateau. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. You should be really proud. Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. This community is the best.

Reading this and Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. Rooting for you.
