Stepped on the scale this morning and finally saw 25 lbs gone since I started. Non-scale win: my rings fit again. Just wanted to share with people who get it. 🙌
Your journey
Hit my first 25 lbs down today!

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.

My doctor kept me at 0.5mg for 10 weeks. Slower titration, fewer side effects — worth it.

Your labs look incredible. That A1C drop is massive — your doctor must be thrilled.

The protein-first approach is the single best nutrition change I made. Before any carbs or fats, get your protein in. It works synergistically with the medication to preserve muscle while you're in a deficit.

For the nausea: small meals, no greasy food, ginger tea, and Zofran if your doctor will prescribe it. The first 4-6 weeks are the hardest. Everything gets better after that point in almost every case I've seen in this forum.

Honestly, Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Hang in there.

Totally agree. I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Thanks for sharing this.

Adding my two cents: Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Such an inspiration honestly. Thanks for sharing this.
