Six months in, sharing my numbers

Just hit my first 10 lbs and I keep re-reading the scale. Thank you to this community for keeping me going through the slow weeks.

Those first 10 lbs hit different, I remember checking mine three times the morning I finally saw it. I'm way further down the road now and honestly the slow stretches never fully stop, they just get easier to trust. Six months in means you already know how to get through them.

10 lbs is a big deal, congrats. I stalled around 7 for what felt like forever and then it suddenly moved again, so hang onto that momentum from the slow weeks. Six months of consistency is nothing to sneeze at either.

41 lbs and hitting goal the same week as their first 10 -- that's a great thread to be part of. Congrats to you both. I'm about a year past where the OP is now, down 56 total, and the scale-rewighing habit does eventually fade, promise.

Congrats on the double digits, I'm a bit ahead of you at 16 down and I still reweigh myself when the number looks too good. You earned that 10 after six months of showing up.

Congrats on the 10 lbs, that's a real milestone. The doubting-the-scale thing never fully goes away either, I still catch myself stepping on twice some mornings even after 48 lbs down. Keep riding the momentum from weeks like this one.

10 lbs is the hardest wall to break through in my experience, so congrats. I remember staring at the scale around that mark too, and once I finally believed the trendline instead of one day's number, everything felt easier. Non-scale stuff like rings fitting kept me sane when the scale stalled.

That first 10 lbs felt unreal to me too, and I'm down 19 on Rybelsus now, so it keeps adding up even when it's slow. Energy-wise mine leveled out fine after the early weeks, appetite definitely crept back some on the max pill but that just made tracking meals matter more.

Say, How's your energy been lately. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose?

Ten pounds was a big mental shift for me too, the weeks after it felt so much less discouraging. I'm 34 down now and the scale still messes with my head some days, so trust the trendline like the others said. Appetite creeping back just meant I had to get more honest about portions, that was my biggest adjustment.

Down 22 myself and I remember that first-ten milestone like it was yesterday, the scale shock is real. The restaurant booth comment hits home too, fitting in booths and airplane seats was my first "wait, this is actually working" moment. I track protein loosely since appetite came back around month three, keeps me honest without going full spreadsheet mode.

Ten lbs was the hurdle where I finally stopped weighing daily, took me way too long to learn that. Six months in on Rybelsus and down 53 myself, and the slow weeks still happen but they don't scare me like they used to. Congrats, the trendline really is the whole game.

Ten pounds was also when I stopped dreading the scale around month three of my own run, now sitting at 23 down. The mental part really is the win here, the numbers just follow. Keep re-reading that scale all you want, you earned it.

First ten is such a mental turning point, congrats. I'm still chasing it myself at 7 down on Saxenda, and seeing these threads is what gets me through my own slow stretches. 53 down at six months is seriously inspiring.

Ten pounds is a huge deal when you remember how slow those first weeks felt. I'm only about 3 lbs down on compounded semaglutide at 1.7mg, so posts like this remind me the scale eventually moves if I just keep showing up. Congrats, and thanks for posting the numbers.

Ten down is when it clicked for me too that the scale lies week to week but the big picture doesn't. About 45 lbs gone here and the slow stretches still show up, they just matter less now. And yeah, the food noise quieting down was the part I never expected.

The scale double-check thing is so real, I did that for weeks after my first ten too. Nearly 30 down here now and I still get surprised in booths and car seatbelts. Those slow weeks genuinely add up even when it feels like nothing's moving.

Ten down feels unreal until it suddenly doesn't. I'm on Saxenda and it took me way longer than six months to see that first milestone, so your pace is genuinely encouraging to read. Keep trusting the trendline over the daily number.

The first 10 was the hardest milestone for me mentally too, and now at 90 down I can tell you the slow weeks never fully go away, they just stop scaring you. Six months is solid pace, keep going.

The scale freeze days were the worst for me too, but I'm 48 lbs down now and looking back the trendline never actually broke. Congrats on 10, the first big chunk is the hardest to believe.
