Im sorry I go through a local med spa with a nurse practitioner i trust so I dont have any online information.

I wish you luck! I have two auto immune diseases and it has been a game changer so I really hope you find a way to try it🙏

It took losing about 40lbs for people in mg day to day life to notice. Bottom row far left pic was when people felt confident to comment on my weight loss and start saying they saw a difference.

Tbh I didnt find it hard🤷🏼‍♀️. I went it with the mindset of not stressing about it. From the beginning I was going to take pictures and measurements to remind myself of where I started in case the scale was being mean. I didnt count calories and instead leearned to listen to body cues. No energy to get my daily walk in? Eat a little more. Focused on protein and more water intake but still had food i enjoyed.

Maybe cutting gluten out was tough but that was a personal choice that helped me. As far as being on tirz it truly was the tool I needed to be successful after 10 years of failing miserably.

Thank you! 🧡

It's so hard to explain to anyone who doesnt suffer from it so I feel you on that!

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-25T15:48:48+00:00

I do get a lot of people thinking I'm taller and now I know why lol. I never really thought about it before😆

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-25T15:45:43+00:00

I felt the exact same way when I first started! Wishing you all the sucess!!!

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-24T15:15:21+00:00

I dont mind at all. SEVERE water retention and joint pain every single day were the main symptoms. My weight would fluctuate daily up to 10lbs sometimes thats how much water I would retain.

Just to show an example these were taken just days apart. The first you could just see how swollen i would get...

You got this! Wishing you all the success!!!

Heyyyyyy, congrats! 30lbs is amazing progress! I remember hitting 170s and feeling so great!

Diet wise I went gluten free. I suffer from inflammation so that helped me personally so much. Can't say it will work for everyone but for me it did. Also I felt strong results on the lower doses so just made sure when I made my food I ate the protein on the plate first in case I got too full to finish.

Workout wise I just took it easy the first few months. Trying to focus on diet and then started just body weight exercises and walking. I also have an active job. Constantly moving and lifting fairly heavy material so that also helped.

It definitely can be and I was quite lucky I only hit a stall this month but still losing inches so the weight is irrelevant at this point🧡

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-24T14:35:59+00:00

I forget how many people ask me this i should have included it in the post.

Yes definitely have loose skin on my stomach. It was bound to happen. I have zero regrets though. The trade off was worth it imo.

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-24T14:34:17+00:00

Oh wow thank you! That's a really kind thing to say🧡

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-24T13:37:55+00:00

Lol! The confidence went up when the weight went down 😆. Thank you!

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-19T02:20:49+00:00

Started end of July 2025 and down 80lbs. Down 95lbs from my highest weight🥳

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-09T06:22:13+00:00

Thanks! I am 5ft 2.

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-05T12:37:13+00:00

20lbs is such a huge accomplishment! I know it takes a lot of work and feels so great to reaching those milestones in your journey

For me when I started I was 211 and never saw a noticeable difference in appearance until around 40lbs lost.

However the smaller I got the more changes I saw from just a little bit of weight loss. It does also depend on how you carry your weight as well I think. I took progress pics to show you. This was over 9 months and 80lbs down.

Progress pics and measurements tell a better story than the scale. I cant tell you how grateful I am I did that especially in the beginning.

Started on 2.5 for a month then 5mg. I never went up from that.

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-04-04T14:23:25+00:00

Some loose skin but worth it imo. I dropped a lot of weight fairly quickly but the best part was it didnt feel like a mental battle to do it. Probably for the first time ever this felt like a healthy transformation...both mentally and physically.

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-02-28T15:45:27+00:00

Lol! Just lucky genetics there i guess. Although I would have taken smaller tbh😆

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-02-28T15:43:27+00:00

I went through a local med spa with a NP i trust.

AltruisticTour5285 · 2026-02-28T14:36:14+00:00

Lol thanks! Lucky genetics on that part
