Down 70 Lbs in 3.5 months

[StraightCancer]

Good evening everyone, you may know me from this thread: Down 40lbs in 2 months
https://glp1forum.com/threads/down-40lbs-in-2-months.7074/

I’m just posting an update. I am officially down 30 more lbs. I am 10lbs from my initial goal weight (240) but judging by the mirror I’d like to lose more. Possibly 220 or even less.

My arms have gotten much leaner as I used to lift quite a bit. I would post the images here but I don’t have a before of my bicep. I will post my Renpho scale results here though as well.

Weight loss plateaued for me right round 60lbs lost and I just got out of it. During the plateau I was on 6mg. Now I’m on week 3 of 8mg and I feel much better and down 11 more lbs. 249 this morning.

Awesome to read. What’s your diet been like?

That is fantastic. 70 lbs is a medium sized child you lost. I imagine quality of life I'm assuming has changed drastically. My only question and please don't take this to be a negative one, but do you worry about shedding the weight so fast? I know everyone is different but I just like to ask and gather information from various people during various weight loss stages. Congrats again.

I love hearing of people's successes stories, helps keep the motivation up. Congrats!

If I may ask, how is your skin reacting to the quick weight loss? I ask because I am noticing some "loose" skin myself and wondering if it will it tighten up again with more weight loss.

I'm going to be brutally honest here - judging by your prior post, you are doing this wrong. "2 rolls at Texas Roadhouse, 2 sweet teas...". Cut out the garbage. Retatrutide is a tool to help fix your habits. It isn't a silver bullet. You will rebound hard if you stop Retatrutide and you don't clean up your diet and focus on healthy macros.

If I were in your shoes, I would slow it down...significantly - I can't imagine not having loose skin issue at that rate. Eat protein and lift heavy. Stop eating the junk. Congrats on the progress - be careful!

Not just the skin issues, but i lost 40 in two months, and in the second month messed up my gallbladder. Have had to cut out all fats or else I am in agony so not even a yogurt or a cup of milk. Just had a Hida scan yesterday to see exactly whats going on with the GB but never had a problem till i dropped a bunch of weight really quickly. I gotta admit though, i drank and ate a LOT of dairy, and dairy free now and feeling good about it. Thought id miss it.
