Last I checked it was 15, still shrinking!!!!

Nearly a year into my glp1 journey, and as far as im concerned these drugs are still pure magic in a bottle.

Im a hungry hungry hippo without. Used to be the biggest guy by far at my workplace. Or just about anywhere I went Now im one of the smallest. Amazing. I'll take it. Getting so close to goal....
 
Oh geeze, I'm down 7" and thought I was all that! 😂 You making the rest of us look bad! Congrats!!
 
Not sure how much I’m down, but at a 30in waist now and some of those are loose. GLP, Diet & exercise work wonders! Good job!

Same here. I've had to buy belts and even then, the old 38" waist pants make me look like a clown.

Same! I bought 38s 3 months ago scaling down from 40s and 42s before that, and elastic before that. Moved from xxl to large and have a stack of 36 pants that are about to fit me perfectly 👌
 
That is amaaaazing! I too have a stack of clothes up and down the size scale, and as of recently i have only been adding to the top of the size list. Lucky to have a multi-bedroom house with spare closets to store the nice clothes hanging and the other stuff in boxes.

Can i ask how long you have been and what you are taking, what your starting weight, titration timeline, and current is?

Wooow, great progress! I started with the 40s and now the 36s are getting roomy. I haven't bought new belts yet; I just shorten them and cut extra holes in them. The cost of the peptides is modest in comparison to the wardrobe updates 🙄
 
Congratulations! 16" is huge! You must be barely visible now!

What do you do with all your old clothes? I always wondered if people go out and get a whole new wardrobe, and if so, at what point.

I was asking myself that same question today. 🤔

I think that point has been reached....

I wasn't that big (lost ~10cm / 4"')

The 16" loss from @Gr33dyOctopus boggles my mind. (respect!!!)

Exactly - the belt can only do so much scrunching until you start feeling like a dumpling. Are elastic waist bands the solution? Do we keep buying new clothes???

I lost quite a few inches off my waist from gh (probably around 4-5 inches as well) and not really sure what to do...

If you're still (intending on) losing weight then yeah, go with something elastic.

Eventually you want to maintain a certain size. That'll be the right time to get a full new wardrobe.

and then we yoyo back up due to the gh shortage! Hence elastic is the way to go!

Absolutely! I started highest weight at 330. Discovered wiping my own ass was getting VERY difficult, and I lost the ability to tie my shoes or cut my own toenails.

August 9th 2025 I took my first shot.

Not sure of my titration timeliness, but now I am up to 6 mg tirz Fridays and 7 mg reta on mondays

Down to 215 right now, kinda letting myself eat a little more and only lost 5 pounds in the last month but thats ok.

After my upcoming procedure going to go hard for goal, which is 190.

I got rid of all my fat people clothes and have 4 hydrapeaks full of glp1s, never going to be fat again unless I go to prison! Lol

Jeetje, ik ben 18 cm kleiner en dacht dat ik zo geweldig was! 😂 Je laat ons er allemaal maar bekaaid uitzien! Gefeliciteerd!!
Hopelijk heb je wel je eetgewoonten en je levensstijl aangepast. Anders heb je geen keuze dan de rest van je leven aan de Glp1 en retatrutide (because there is no such thing as "retatrutide (because there is no such thing as "GLP-3")") peptides te blijven. Afkicken van de Reta of Tirza wordt enorm moeilijk. Wees gewaarschuwd!!

I offer all the old.clothes on offerup for free. Want them out of my life ASAP. Im on my 3rd set of new clothes, think I spent around 6 or 800 bucks this time around. I dont care though. Was so fat for so long, whats important now is that I look good and put together. People treat me differently now and the wardrobe is a big part of it.
 
To say we're proud of you is an understatement. Your determination has provided motivation for many other members on here and in your life. Not all heroes wear capes my man. Thanks for sharing your journey and glad you can see better better body parts when looking down at your feet!
