I'm about 4 months in now, losing nearly 2 pounds a week on Tirz, I'm looking forward to somebody - any body - saying, "Hey, have you lost some weight?" No one in my circles has said a syllable. Sigh....
They will. Guaranteed. Misery loves company. They will cane in.

I was curious when people would mentioned my loss, so I had time to think about it before it happened. Notice ≠ comment, they have to be surprised enough and comfortable enough to mention it.

People who see you regularly have a harder time seeing the change as it's not sudden from their perspective. My first comment was from someone I see infrequently, it took another month or so for a regular person to comment.

I shaved my beard yesterday; my daughter noticed instantly, her mother didn't notice the beard (around noon). Her husband sees me regularly and when I walked up last night he instantly mentioned my weight loss for the first time when he saw my shorn jaw line. He suggested I should quickly take some food off my daughter's plate. My daughter has a (healthy) BMI of 14 with a 9th percentile weight. 😂
 
I am just anxiously waiting to hit my goal before I buy a really nice new wardrobe. As I've been losing I've made a couple of trips to the goodwill because I refuse to pay to much for more clothes while I am still losing weight. I have 11lbs to go! I did have to buy a new outfit yesterday for my nephews graduation but I went to TJs so shirt, Skirt, and shoes were less than $60. I was shocked as I grabbed medium everything to try on but it was all way to big. Had to get smalls and x-small to try on. I have never in my whole life fit in anything XS! It was a definite NSV 🎉🙌🏻

I started at 180 lbs ( 5 ft 1.) Now fluctuate between 115-120 on maintenance. Started on Sema and finished/ maintaining on Reta.

BP perfect. Blood tests all good- lower cholesterol, normal a1c, normal liver values. Only possible bad numbers are: my fasting glucose is low and my Creatinine is in the 40's. PCP just told me to have sugar snacks on hand in case of low glucose symptoms but nothing about Creatinine. Guessing low creatinine is muscle loss which is fixable.

I feel better about myself. Have more confidence. People treat me better ( fatphobia is real!)

Downsides- coughing up dollars for new wardrobe!!!
I keep small bottles of apple juice in my fridge, in my car, in my toolbox, ect.. Doesn't need refrigeration, half bottle perks my blood sugar levels right back up there. If you haven't already, highly recommend CGM(continuous glucose moniter). Blew me away seeing how fast my body responded to food stuff. Learned more from CGM in two weeks than I learned from years of finger sticking...
 
Excited to play and be more active with my daughter! And clothes shopping omg!!! I can’t wait. It’s a different feeling knowing you will get there vs hoping you can white knuckle it.
 
I look forward to being able to do a pull up. There has only been one period in my entire 52 year life that I have ever been able to do it, the last time I lost 100lbs 20 years ago. I am almost there again.

Got me remeberin 1st time I made it to the top of the gym rope climb.. Whole class cheered. I was fattest kid in the whole school. Class size 60 or so. 6-7th grade. Went on to be one of the fastest kids climbin the high school ropes after I got taller with out weight changing. Guess carrying all that fat around made me stronger under neith all that flab... Same for chin-ups...
 
For me the hope is to get into a shape I think will change my brain fog, improve my energy levels, transform my willpower and agency, bolster my mood. I want that so I can use my mind to pursue several activities I have planned for my life. I want to get back to becoming a professional athlete, start a fitness-related business, buy farms, write books, and then make some personal life changes. Basically, I want to indulge in unbridled conquest.

I think nobody has said a thing because everyone is now confused if it is PC or NOT to say something. Life is very confusing these days...
 
I’ve been at my ‘ideal weight and size’ already a few times in my life and I’m only 10kg away so not that.

For me, the biggest goal/dream is sustainable energy, clear mind, the ability to function consistently day-to-day. Possibly even getting off some of my long term medications for insomnia and anxiety. I’m only 33 and I feel like my mind and body have been broken for years (i was in a bad accident 3 years ago). I’ve been misdiagnosed, over diagnosed, mis medicated, over medicated, since I was in my late teens. I used to believe doctors and their recommendations were biblical fact. It’s done so much damage , and if I can undo even half of it with peptides, that will be the most amazing thing of all time.

It can and does achieve many of those, not sure about world domination, but energy levels, brain fog, constant fatigue, and just being much more able to do everything , after losing 70+kg.

And this is precisely why I despise all forms of arguments from authority... One of the worst logical fallacies.

Strawman fallacy this time. 😈 Well, at least you changed the type, so that's progress. 😉 World domination is a chore. My goals are far too modest. It's all about me as an individual. I don't do the collectivist shenanigans. Yeah, I hear you. I'm not so sure about the brain fog and fatigue. Naturally, I think the loss of those accursed adipocytes will be beneficial, but I think low Test is the chief bane in that regard. I have more hope with energy levels and a general increase in agility. To be fair, my biggest hurdle is not the obesity. It is time. IMO, my time is what the obesity erodes away so my goal is to squash the obesity without losing too much time, if that makes sense. In my book, a Pyrrhic victory against obesity is tantamount to a loss.

This idea, while prudent and expedient before, has become exigent and essential now, given how the world is on the cusp of a massive change.
