Do try this at home!

It's been a looooooong road traveled since starting on Mounjaro way back on April Fool's day 2023, and mentally seems even longer for the last few pounds to break under 200lbs. (For my metric friends that's just shy of 50kg down; don't ask me what it is in stone.) For my fellow math nerds, that's 818 days to lose 107.6lbs, or .1315lbs/day. For trivia buffs, 818 is the area code for the San Fernando valley.

What the graph doesn't accurately show are two long ass stalls because I usually stop weighing myself during those stretches to avoid getting psyched out.

175 is my "goal", but I'm not going to be too upset if I don't get there. I've always been pretty comfortable in the 185-195 range, and even now with a 32" waist I have to go pretty tight with my belt to keep pants from constantly falling down (and the courts are pretty insistent about me keeping my pants on).

This is my 3rd time losing over 100lbs. 1st time almost 30 years ago and the 2nd time about 15 years ago, and both times I kept most of it off for a good number of years until some major life event decided it was time to buy fat kid clothes again.

This journey is going to throw some twists and curves at everyone along the way. While I know from experience that it's easier said than done, don't let it get you down and do your best to stick to it and eventually things will start working in your favor again.

Congratulations! I know it takes a lot of hard work and commitment. I'll bet you feel like a million bucks! Now go buy some new and better fitting pants!

Hey, amazing job on your progress, really inspiring! Can you share more about those weight stalls you mentioned? What was your lifestyle or protocol during those times? Did you change something or just stay consistent and wait it out?

You have an incredibly inspirational story that I hope you keep on sharing! I watched my husband go from 220’s to his HW of 265? in no time. I sat down with him in Feb. & shared weeks of research, the benefits & was shocked he agreed to it due to cost & (what I thought then) somewhat experimental. It’s just too bad that the FDA & the rest have robbed us of thousands just getting healthy. Our insurance won’t cover & both of our PCP’s recommended it. Last month, my Dr. shared that he stocked up through SlimDownRx? (he said co. went bankrupt) for he & his wife. That’s when I really began to realize that many are on a GLP-1. I’ve noticed 3 Dr’s have lost weight & neighbors too. Everyone deserves access!

If there are any words that need changing…I’m sorry. Seems like things have been ok lately?

Absolutely fantastic results. Well done! Is it just GLP and diet or have you thrown yourself in to the gym aswell?

Apropos of nothing, I still remember my first 818 phone number.

Congrats on your success and commitment!

Hey congrats. Mind if I ask what dosing you ended being on so long? Did you make your way all the way up to 15mg, or did you hold at a lower dose?

 

[ZippityDooDah]

32's actually fit perfectly, I just have no ass.

(Which is ironic based on how many people seem to think I'm an ass!)

Thanks! I'm gonna try to pull some info together over the weekend from the spreadsheet I've been keeping along the way to help paint a better picture of how it all has been progressing, etc.
