I reached my third and final goal of 190 last weekend. Now I have to figure out what's next. I just received some Cagri to help ward off any munchies as I start to titrate down on Reta. I still plan to settle around 4-5 mg for the other benefits. That's the plan anyway. I have a large amount to last a long time. I don't even care what newer GLPs become available because it's like it was made for me. Now I have to focus on strength training to rebuild the muscle lost during the weight loss process.

Yess! 💯Congrats! Good strategy with the Cagri for titrating down, I’m thinking I may do that as well once I get to final goal.
You’ll have them newbie gains to look forward to 💪

Realistic Goal: 190
"shoot for the stars" goal: 175 w/ abs

Im averaging about 1.5lb/week and to be honest, it kind of blows my mind how effective some of these methods are. I havent been sub 200 in over a decade and that is having tried next to everything; adopting intermittent fasting, cutting out bread/carbs from my diet, daily exercise/ weight training, you name it. Started Tirz and the weight just started going down. NGL though, the fatigue and anhedonia kind of sucks, but I just have to remind myself that I han see my hips again. I noticed that I can see a sligh line between my shoulders and pecks. Even at my lowest weight in high school (165lbs), I never really had abs. I had a really tone/flat stomach, but honestly that was due to me just straight not eating. I know it is unrealistic to set a goal that surpasses that, however, that is my "shoot for the stars" goal. If I aim for that, and hit my actual goal, it still gives me more to work for. For anyone reading this, dont be discouraged if you dont see huge jumps or immediate results.I get what it is like to try everything you can think of and get nowhere. This stuff takes time; like months. Any progress is still progress. It doesnt matter if it is 20 lbs or 2lbs, just keep moving foward.

That’s a solid mindset right there. The weight loss is great, but honestly the bigger thing is finally seeing progress after years of spinning your wheels doing “all the right things” and getting nowhere. A lot of people don’t understand how defeating that gets mentally.

20 lbs in a couple months while averaging 1.5 lbs/week is actually a really sustainable pace too. Fast enough to stay motivated, slow enough that your body has time to adjust. And seeing definition come back in areas you haven’t noticed in years is a huge win.

The fatigue/anhedonia part is real though. It hit me and I was a zombie for a few weeks. I upped my carb intake and hydration while making sure to get exercise: Today I feel great/normal again. Hopefully as your body adapts and begins to stabilize a bit.

Also nothing wrong with having a “shoot for the stars” goal. Sometimes you need a big target to keep pushing forward. Even if you never hit 175 shredded-with-abs status, getting leaner, healthier, more mobile, and under 200 again after a decade is already a massive accomplishment.

Good post. The last part especially is something people need to hear more often: progress is progress.

Just Keep Moving Forward!👊
