Good luck!!! Is your body composition changing at all or total stand still? I’m currently in a stand still weight wise but my clothes got much bigger so my body comp is changing the scale just is not. Let us all know how it works out!!
I was at a standstill on scale but body composition did change. Thanks.
 
Started 6/2023 at 238 lb 5’6” F RX Wegovy. Switched to Zepbound 7/2024 at 165 lbs CW 153 total lost 85 lbs. October 1 insurance changed criteria. Possibly getting cut off. I will be 58 next month. GW ?

I’m ok if I don’t lose more, will be ecstatic if I can get to 140. Time will tell.
 
Been on Tirz for a year and a half, down starting weight was 204 lbs, currently 140 lbs. Not sure about my goal weight yet. I am 5' 3". I have absolutely 0 pictures of my full body at my heaviest, but a few face pics, which is noticeably fatter.

Today I have lost 100 lbs since April 16, 2024. A little early of my 6 month goal . Tirz helped but my fitness pal and a 1200 calorie diet were the main path used. Max weight was 2 years ago 385. 251.8 lbs this am. Today is also the one year anniversary of my parathyroidectomy. That ended my chronic fatigue , mental cloudiness and severe cramping….. sleep apnea gone, diabetes undetectable, etc

A month in and about 5 pounds lost! I've struggled with weight my whole life. Once I put it on, it seems impossible to get it off. Most of my immediate family is overweight/obese. I've been active my whole life but struggle with my diet. This year I've been better about it but it still fluctuates and it's been a SLOWWWW crawl down. I know it's just 5lbs but considering I've lost 11 pounds total since last year, that is a significant improvement.

I have only used Tirzepatide from compounding pharmacies. I was on the cusp, but I was pre-diabetic again (2nd time in a year) so I was able to get a prescription. I accidentally started off with a 4mg dose for my first shot. Been doing 2.5mg the last 3 weeks and will move up to 3.5mg tomorrow. Hoping to stay there for at least a month. Don't want to do more than 5mg if possible, especially now that compounding might be over.

A month in and about 5 pounds lost! I've struggled with weight my whole life. Once I put it on, it seems impossible to get it off. Most of my immediate family is overweight and I'm the only one of my siblings who doesn't have hypothyroidism. I suspect its because I exercise and am a little more careful with my diet. I've been active my whole life but struggle with my diet. This year I've been better about it but it still fluctuates and it's been a SLOWWWW crawl down.

Good for you for being positive about your weight loss even though it's been SLOWWWW. (Hope I didn't miss any 'W's 🙂 ) Slow is good - that's about 1 lb/week. Of course we'd all like to lose faster but the truth is giving time for skin to shrink and allowing our bodies to adjust slowly is a good thing. I'm pretty slow, too, and the hardest part is not getting frustrated with it. In the past, it was easy to give up because it felt like it would never happen and it would all come back anyway, but now we know with these meds, we will be able to keep losing and then maintain. Keep up the good work!

Just passed my month anniversary on Compound Tirz. Started at 5mg and moved to 7.5 last week (doesn’t show the shot for some reason). Have 2 months left of compound and then I’ll be moving to some I ordered through Amopure.

Started at 344.
Currently 323.
Goal is 215.

Revo has been here a while. Longer than you or I actually. He's also had some really good input on some of the discussions around here. I doubt anyone else here could do their own sterility tests.

@Revo39564 congrats! My hope is to loose about the same, but in around 2 years rather than 6 months. I'm 60% of the way there 10 months in.

Had a severe fatty liver to motivate me. Yeah nothing ever grew out on multiple test .
 
Doesn’t matter how long it takes …. it’s the end results. Good luck

Thank you! You too!
I've always gained it all back plus more every time I've lost more than 2 pounds a week. Hopefully it'll be okay with tirz but I plan to titrate down and lose more slowly when I get closer to my goal weight. Still need to keep energy for exercise 🏋🏽‍♀️

That recomp pic is amazing. Hard to believe it's only 9 lbs on the scale.
The only downside to weightloss for me is that my lifts have plummeted, especially the bench press, with my bodyweight going from 145+ to 110lbs, but if I convert my lifts to a multiple of body weight, then they don't look so bad!
 
Started 3/26/24 with Mounjaro. Down 55 pounds. I supplement compounded tirz with 7.5 MJ. Currently taking 7.5 twice a week. I’ll start the SRY tirz when the compound runs out.

The last picture wow!! Amazing job on changing your entire body composition. Hard to believe that is just 9lbs! This makes me motivated to keep on trying to add more muscle 💪 I get so sore, so consistency has been hard, but need to keep at it. Congratulations to you and your hubby!

360-313. Big break and some weight gain after I couldn’t afford compound and eventually found research. Slow and steady. GW prob around 260, which was high school linebacker weight for me.
 
Thought this was cute. My weight in January 2024

5'2" F, 59yo, SW - 225 lb, CW - 192.2, GW - 135

Took one 0.25mg semaglutide on 4/21/24. Then switched to compounded Tirzepatide (local Pharmacy) starting 4/28. Currently on 15mg Tirzepatide.

I exercise 6-7 days a week, cardio plus weights for at least 1-2 hours. Cut most carbs,. I am a vegetarian so consuming large amounts of protein is a problem. I try to do 1-2 protein shakes a day. When I was counting calories I was eating maybe 1200 a day. Don't count anymore since I eat pretty much the same way everyday. Appetite suppression is pretty decent for the first 5 days then comes back to sort of normal. I never had food noise to begin with , ate 2 meals a day without much snacking, ate when I was hungry. Still struggled to lose weight.

Loss has been very slow about 1 lb a week. Totally lost 32 lbs so far and 48" overall. Clothes which I hadn't worn in years are fitting me well and all my 2x clothes are hanging on me.
 
215 to 194 since mid August. Didn't start tirz until mid September.
 
I went from 191 to my current weight of 147, 5’2” female,59 years old, since February’24to oct’24, I started with semi first 2 months then switched to Tirz. I was pre diabetic,super high cholesterol and had high blood pressure. All of my labs have now come back in the normal range😅. Thank God, thanks Tirz. I plan on being on this the rest of my life.
 
Starting weight- 220 in Nov 2023
Current weight - 178
Started compound Tirz 2.5mg in November 2023, lost 8 lbs on compound, switched to peptides in April 2024, added Reta 2mg in September to break a stall. Now titrating down Tirz to 5mg & Reta 2mg monthly because I have reached my goal weight, with my kind of stature if I lose any more I will look sick. I love the way I look right now, no longer taking my Diltiazem for HTN, knee pain gone. Now I'm researching GLOW protocol, will also try some Semax and Selank for improved cognition.
 
I’ve been here before but updating my stats.

5”8, I was 266lbs.

Down to 187.

Dropped from a 3xl to a L/XL depending on the clothing.

I still haven’t started weightlifting, that’s on me but finding time around 2 jobs, kids, life etc I was doing A LOT walking/running over the summer which helped.

Started Reta in September when I switched from Tirz.
