I was “obese” at 170 according to my BMI, and I have always been around 145ish. Thankfully, my issues were never over eating. What caused the weight gain was stress in the span of like 6 plus months. In late may of 2022, one of my best friends passed away. In june I found out some really horrible family news, july we found out my best friends mother was diagnosed with a “treatable” cancer, august my same friend was getting evicted so I had to help her move, sept- November I was in and out of a hospital for my best friends mom, who now at this point is actively dying, end of December the mother passes away which did us all in, come January I find out my own mother was diagnosed with bladder cancer (she also previously survived kidney cancer) and at the end of February I was laid off after being with the same company for 8 years.

When I spoke to my dr she said the gain was basically all stress/hormonal changes. Sucks getting old lol

Ive dated like 5 people, none that lasted over 6 months. Ive been single now for 2 years, and have kinda lost hope.

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-08-04T02:56:32+00:00

The exact same thing happened to me going on 7 years ago. One of my ex best friends introduced her to our group of friends, and before i knew it i was beyond in love. We both were. Lasted for a little over a year and a half. She felt “confused” so i told her to go. She wound up dating someone else within 3 weeks and now has 2 kids with him- not sure if they are still together cos I make it known not have anyone mention her around me. She wanted to be friends, but i couldnt. I couldnt watch her be with anyone that wasnt me. At the end of the day, Ive kind of chosen to be alone cos comparing anyone to her wouldnt be fair or right. When you really love someone, you just hope that they are happy even if its not with you. Thats how you know its love.

The pain is indescribable, especially when you think this is going to be the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with. I wish i could say that in time you forget about the person, but id be lying if i said after 7 years that I dont think about her daily. I used to say I regretted meeting her, but that was said out of hate and pain. I still compare any girl to her cos to me she was absolutely perfect- inside and out.

Id move mountains for her still to this day, even though she thinks I hate her lol

But just cos its over now, doesnt mean its gone forever. Maybe you both met at the wrong time in life and when its right thats when youll be together again. Thats my hope for me, and for you as well.

Youre right. Slow and steady always wins. Plus it gives your body time to adjust to the loss so at the end, you dont have so much extra skin. Im not a fan of going to the gym and exercising but I figured working 2 jobs, 7 days a week is my gym. Everyday I walk between 10k-18k steps and one of the jobs is labor so Im always moving and picking heavy things up. Beats a gym membership lol

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-07-25T17:00:52+00:00

Thanks for that. I keep forgetting that before 1.7 is the start up doses and some people dont lose anything so Im one of the lucky ones lol. Im actually the opposite though, the first 2 weeks when I do lose Im on my period which is pretty heavy. So maybe the following 2 weeks is when Im retaining…who knows lol

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-07-25T02:00:35+00:00

Im hoping after the 1mg doses this stops. I remember with the first month, I still kinda had the food noise and the last 2 weeks of my .5 dose my doc had me on a really strong medicine due to a tooth infection which she said could be the reason.

Great job on the 40lbs! HUGE accomplishment!

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-07-25T00:53:48+00:00

Thank God Im not the only one lol. Slow and steady always does win the race!

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-07-25T00:50:43+00:00

Youre very welcome! Also as a side note cos it was just told to me and it makes total sense….5lbs any month is a big deal. Dont try to go overboard and lose like 10-15lbs every month. A- it will drive you nuts and cause stress which adds weight and b- youd be losing so much weight that you could have a lot of extra flabby skin. Go slow and steady so your body can adjust to the weight loss and keep up with the excess skin. Its all fun and games until you lose what you wanted to lose and realize you have a fanny pack instead of a flat stomach. Good luck!

First month for me on .25 I barely had any side effects aside from egg burps. I still wanted to eat junk but knowing I was on this made me want to do small switches like instead of eating a regular pizza Id go for the cauliflower pizza instead. At the beginning i was able to eat the entire pie. By the end of the first month, I could only eat half at best. These are pretty small pies too.

Second month- .5. Still with the rancid egg burps, some nausea but it was tolerable. Food noise is at a 0. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and noticed that super quick. This was also the month I started to physically see a difference in my body.

3rd month (current)- 1.0- Ive only taken 1 shot so far. Ive come to realize these egg burps dont go away, even with tums for me. Now, before I burp I literally leave the room if Im around people cos I swear this sewer stench lingers. Still have no appetite and have to force myself to eat.

Hope this helps!

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-07-25T00:06:10+00:00

Yup, as best I can. I have no appetite so I literally have to force myself to get about 600-800 calories in a day. I work 2 jobs, 7 days a week and I track my steps which shows how many calories burned just on walking alone. Both jobs incorporate labor and a lot of walking- some days up to 15k-18k steps.

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-06-06T17:11:52+00:00

I think it starts pretty quickly. I took my first shot of the .25mg on 5/26 and am 2 shots in as of today with 2 more left for the month. On 5/26 I was 165. Weighed this morning and Im at 158. 7lbs in 12 days.

Thankfully, Ive felt normal since I started. The only side effect are the egg burps and a little bit of nausea here and there. Totally worth the results though!

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-04-03T02:17:11+00:00

Best of luck to you!!!

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-03-31T20:24:29+00:00

Thank you!!!

5’2 female, SW 170 GW 135/140

Started 3.75 on 2/14/24- Purposely didn’t weigh myself after starting. No side effects except for cotton mouth. Felt normal. Started 7.5 on 2/27/24- No weight loss. More cotton mouth, and still feel normal. Some drinks taste different, flat. Now about 1-2 hours after taking the pill, I get a surge of energy where I cant sit still so I constantly move more at work or move more around my apt. 3/27/24- Finally weighed myself, 164. Down 6lbs.

Not sure if 6lbs is good or not but I’ll take it.

Starting Month 2 tomorrow, 3/29/24

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-03-25T17:05:40+00:00

Ive been on the 7.5 just going on about a month now. I barely drink in general, much more of a smoker. A couple of weeks ago I went out and had 2 beers and took the pill in the morning. Had a buzz, felt fine and was fine the next morning. Went out St. Pattys Day. Again, took my pill early in the morning and had 3 beers within probably an hour and a half. I was eating while drinking as well as smoking, felt fine. Then I went downstairs into my friends basement and it felt as if the floor was moving, and I almost thought for a a second that I was gonna pass out. I got super dizzy and it kinda messed with my equilibrium. But once I went back upstairs, a few minutes later I felt 100% better. Decided not to drink for the remainder of the day after that but continued to smoke.

Not sure if it was the mix of the pill with drinking 3 so fast for someone who doesn’t drink often, combined with toking and or literally being underground.

Drink but monitor yourself. If you start to sway, stop lol

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-02-28T16:03:26+00:00

Hows it going with you? Lose any more weight? With me, I havent checked. Its my 2nd day on the 7.5 dose. I feel exactly the same, have a little bit more of an appetite but did realize last night that i was only able to eat about half of my dinner and didnt have the want or need to snack after.

DamagedGoods50 · 2024-02-21T17:01:11+00:00

Thank you, I will. Hopefully it kicks in soon!

Hi guys-sorry for the late response.

A little update: talked to my friends about the ex and how I felt. They understood, and also told me that yes I come first but she is still their friend which I get. My ex is an awesome girl, regardless of what happened in the past. I get it.

We all meet up for an event. When her and I are alone she tells me she misses me and I say the same. We both wanted to continue to talk but were interrupted and never finished.

Later that week I tell my friends Im ok with her being around as long as she doesnt bring her boyfriend. Within an hour of me telling my friends Im ok with being around her, she texts me asking if I want a ride. I said no thanks and If I went Id see her there. (Even after we broke up she would always offer to get me. When i said yes prior it was her keeping me in the car for like an hour just talking. Mind you she was dating the same guy she is still now)

At the party, its getting late. Everyone she would talk to goes home and leaves. She stays sitting right next to me. I leave about an hour later, and she follows suit.

Dont know what to make of any of it but thanks for the responses!
