150 days, 50lbs down

[ladyj779]

I started Tirz on Jan 23, 2026. I have no clue what my starting weight was, but I was 242.4 when I finally stepped on the scale on Feb 15.
Today is 150 days on Tirz...to which I added Reta in April. And the scale read 192.4, exactly 50lbs in 150 days.

I'm a professional weight loser, and gainer. The gaining part is so easy, whereas the losing part always required near total focus, to the benign neglect of a lot of other things. With glp, it's neither all-consuming, nor physically, intellectually, and emotionally exhausting.

Still, taking my kid to the water park today, definitely gonna float down the lazy river.

That analogy is spot on "Professional weight loser, and gainer. The gaining part is so easy..."

People whose weight gain sneaks up on them a couple of pounds a year amaze me. I'm a teacher, and I can gain 30-40lbs over the school year, and then spend my summer hyper focused on losing ten pounds a month. Over and over and over again. I'm so thrilled to have found a better way. That I lost weight during the school year without having to obsess made me a better teacher, a better mom, a better whatever else I was able to do because I wasn't spending every waking moment focused on weight loss.

Wow! I'm so happy for you.

I also gained weight during my years as a teacher; my psychiatrist told me I was expressing my “good mother” side. I worked on the representation of the “good mother,” which seems deeply rooted in the "collective unconscious”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf
