Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

Following along, I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. What's your current titration schedule looking like. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Reading this and The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Six months in and the scale keeps moving the right way. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Checking in this morning, My last check-up came back looking great. Cheering you on from here. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Popping in today to say, You're doing amazing. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Onward!

Reading this today and Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Hit goal weight this morning, still in shock. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Hang in there.

Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Hang in there. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
