Month 4 update: 32 lbs down, new relationship with food

Glad the week 3 wall didn't get you either, that stretch had me wondering what I'd signed up for too. Sitting around 15 down myself and it helps seeing the longer-haul folks report back that the food noise actually quiets down. Keep the updates coming.

Love that you came back to close the loop on the week 3 wall, that thread from way back was one of the things that got me through my own rough patch on 7.5. Down 12 lbs on my end so seeing your 38 makes the slow weeks feel less discouraging. Keep the updates coming.

That week 3 stretch nearly did me in too, and I'm only 7 lbs down at this point, so honestly seeing where you are at month 5 keeps me from throwing in the towel. Congrats on the 38.

Week 3 is such a wall, glad you climbed over it instead of quitting. We're basically neck and neck now, I'm sitting at 41 down. Congrats on the progress and on finding your new normal with food.

Week 3 was my breaking point too and I'm so glad I didn't listen to it, because month 5 me is down 41 and barely thinks about food anymore. Posts like yours are the reason the rest of us hang in there. Keep checking in.

Coming back months later to update the thread that almost ended it is the kind of thing that keeps new folks from bailing. I hit my own wall around week 4 and reading posts like this is what got me to stick with it. Congrats on the 38, that food noise quieting down is the best part.

Threads like this are why I stopped panicking during my own slow stretch around week 5. Sitting at 14 down so those 38 lbs feel like proof the scale eventually catches up. Congrats on circling back to update everyone.

Halfway to your number myself at 18 down, and the week 3 dip you described sounds exactly like where I nearly bailed too. Coming back to close the loop like this is the thing I hope I remember to do.Congrats on 38 down, that's a huge milestone. I almost threw in the towel around week 3 too and I'm only at 18 lbs so far, but posts like yours remind me the scale keeps moving if you hang in there.

Ten lbs in myself and week 3 nearly broke me too, so seeing you come back to the thread that almost ended it hits different. Quiet food noise plus 38 down is serious progress. Hope I remember to post my own update when I hit month 5.

Congrats on closing the loop at 38 down. I bailed mentally around week 3 too and I'm sitting at 21 lbs now, so this is a good reminder the people who stick it out are the ones posting these updates later.

Sitting at 9 lbs down and week 3 was rough for me too, so this is exactly the kind of thread I needed to see. Thanks for coming back to finish the story.

Week 3 almost got me too, and reading these updates at 27 lbs down makes me glad I stuck around. Coming back to post the finish is what keeps the rest of us going, so thanks for doing that.

Funny how week 3 seems to be the wall for so many of us, it nearly took me out too. Congrats on 38, and yeah, these follow-up threads after you're past the hard part are the reason I keep reading here.

Week 3 was my wall too, glad you pushed past it. I'm at 52 down now and honestly the biggest change for me is how quiet food got in my head, so your title really resonates. Keep posting these updates, they matter more than you know.

Week 3 was my wall too, sitting in the parking lot of my doctor's office almost ready to throw in the towel. Down 46 on tirzepatide now and that quiet-in-my-head feeling with food is the part nobody warned me about, in a good way. Grateful you came back to post the update instead of disappearing like most do.

Belt needed a new hole today, small thing that felt enormous. Small loss this week but the trend line still points the right way.

The belt hole thing got me, same milestone hit me last month and I stood there grinning like an idiot. Down 23 myself and week 3 was my quit point too, so threads like this are proof to keep going.

Climbed a flight of stairs at work and wasn't the last one up. Chased my dog across the yard without stopping to catch my breath. My knees stopped clicking on the stairs. Keep us posted!
