New here

Following up on my current medication and wanted to open this up for the group. Keep going, seriously. Cheering you on from here.

Welcome aboard. What are you currently taking and how long in, if you don't mind sharing? Always easier to swap notes with someone on a similar timeline.

The joint relief alone made sticking with it worth it for me, especially once I got past the early appetite adjustment on my way up to 10. Down 22 lbs here too and my knees already feel the difference. Keep us posted on how it goes for you.

Welcome aboard! The joint pain angle is something a few of us here have noticed too, so it'd be great to hear how it goes for you. Second the suggestion to start your own thread so your updates don't get buried.

Dropping 22 and feeling it in your knees tracks with my experience too, though my hips were the bigger win. Almost at 30 lbs here and stairs stopped being a whole production somewhere along the way. Hope you start that own thread so we can follow the numbers.

Came here to say the same about joints -- at 48 down my knees quieted down somewhere in the 30s and stairs just stopped being a thing I thought about. Def start your own thread, it's motivating for the rest of us to watch the numbers move.

Down 60 here and the joint relief was the biggest surprise for me too -- my knees pretty much stopped complaining once I got under 250. Welcome aboard, and yes, start a thread so we can cheer on those weekly numbers with you.

Down 53 myself and the knee thing is real -- mine used to ache on every flight of stairs and now I honestly forget about them. Curious if the joint stuff keeps easing up for you too. Another vote for your own thread so we can keep tabs.

Down about 20 myself and my hips already stopped barking when I get out of bed in the morning, so I get the joint thing. Watching all these "down 50 and climbing" posts makes me hopeful for what's ahead. Keep us posted on your next milestone.

Down 9 myself so still early days, but even now my morning stiffness isn't as bad as it used to be, so the joint stories here give me something to look forward to. Seconding the own-thread idea, would love to follow your progress.

Down about 31 myself, and the knee thing is real -- mine quieted down somewhere past the 20 lb mark too. The joint relief is honestly what keeps me going on the tougher weeks. Hope you start that progress thread, I'd follow it.

Down 62 here and I can confirm the knees stay quiet even past that 31 mark -- stairs stopped being a whole production somewhere along the way. Definitely start that progress thread, long-term stories from folks further along were half my motivation early on.

Down 63 here so basically neck and neck with the last poster, and yeah the stairs thing tracks -- I noticed mine around the same stretch. Would read that progress thread for sure, the long-haul posts are what kept me going in year one too.

Down 40 here and the knees were the first thing to quiet down for me too, somewhere in the 25 to 30 range. The long-haul posts in this section really did carry me through the early months, so adding one more voice for the OP to start that thread.

Knees quieted down for me too around 50 lbs gone on liraglutide, still remember when stairs felt like a chore. Another vote for the progress thread, those long-haul posts kept me going through the rough early weeks.

Only about 9 lbs in so far so I can't speak to the knees yet, but my ankles already feel less cranky getting up off the floor. Definitely start that progress thread, us early folks need the roadmaps.

Six pounds in here, so still at the very start, but even tying my shoes is less of a production already. The long-haul stories are the reason I stuck with it past week three, so yes to that progress thread.

Down 55 myself and the joint relief keeps compounding - getting up off the couch without the grunt is a small thing that still gets me. Add another voice for that progress thread, the long-haulers are what got me through the early stalls too.

Down about 11 on Zep myself and the early wins add up faster than you'd think - stairs stopped being a whole event for me somewhere around the two-month mark. Another vote for that progress thread, I'd have loved a roadmap when I started.

Down 43 myself and the little stuff sneaks up on you - I realized last month I could cross my legs again without thinking about it. The early months felt slow but looking back the trend line was always moving, so keep posting those wins.
