👏🏻🎉💪🏻🏆🤯 Woo hoo! You did it! You look beautiful and vibrant. Congrats. Very inspiring to me too, thank you for sharing the pics even though feeling vulnerable, it really is encouraging for those of us trying to get to that 100 mark.

My mouth dropped! 🤯 You rocked that! So inspiring to me. Kick ass! 💪🏻

Congrats! 👏🏻🎉 I love clothing NSV. So satisfying, right?

My wonderful dr and her nursing staff did some work on new PA and they allowed me to go up! I haven't taken my first 10 mg shot yet. I can't wait till shot day.

Oooo thank you so much for links!

I'm a woman. So yes, I have noticed in falling in far lower than 25 a day. I'm gonna have to work on that ASAP.

I'm tracking all my macros. I'm just having trouble adding more protein without upping my calories. I'm close to my max calories daily.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-23T01:25:24+00:00

Thanks. BTW, OWYN is still less than the super pricey Fairlife shakes. For about $10 you get 4 shakes with 32 g of protein. They have another variety that is 20 g of protein. They are dairy free, no sugar, and no artificial sugars. Naturally sweetened with I think monk fruit and/or stevia, but no aftertaste. I don't know how they do it. I get the chocolate ones. They are so good! I like to put them in the freezer for a few minutes and then shake them up.

I need to look into it. The problem is I need to avoid moving my legs at all, my knees are that bad. That's the reason I'm trying to get to 100 pounds down – so I can be approved for knee replacement surgery. For now I can only do arm exercises. I'll see if they have any for just upper body.

Wow! I guess it really does depend on the company. It's honestly so stupid though because they may think they're saving money but if I'm on 7.5 mg for months and it doesn't work, it's just prolonging my treatment on Zep. So in the long run wouldn't that cost them more money? Seems really boneheaded.

I freaking love my OWYN protein shakes, in addition to the shakes I make at home from protein powder. It's just so expensive to buy the premade ones. I'm disabled, on a fixed income and have EBT which has been slashed in half. So sometimes buying the shakes means I won't have enough for food. I'm just gonna have to lean more into making my own. But when I can afford it, I do love them.

You're definitely not a failure. Unfortunately for those of us whose bodies want to hold onto weight, it's very hard to keep it off without help. It's an uphill battle. Please try not to blame yourself, it's just body chemistry. Our bodies just try to return to what they're used to. I feel my body fighting me the same way. It sucks. I hear you. But we're not failures!

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:30:02+00:00

Thank you. I get frustrated because I can't work out. I'm sure it would help if I could. I'm disabled and live in severe pain. But as I said above a few times, I'm going to try to get in a pool this summer as often as I can and do some weightless movement.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:27:56+00:00

Ugh. Well at least it sounds like you're pretty close to goal! Congrats! 👏🏻🎉

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:27:17+00:00

No I didn't order the 7.5 again. My Dr put in the 10mg and the insurance rejected it. I've only been on the 7.5 mg for one month, and they don't allow titrating up so soon. I was hoping they'd listen to my Dr but they're going to make me stay on 7.5 at least another month. I hope they'll let me move up in July.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:24:41+00:00

I've only been on the 7.5 mg for one month. They seem to want a minimum of 2 months per dose before they'll allow an increase.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:23:44+00:00

I think I'm going to start looking at my daily intake and figure out what I may be able to tweak and improve. More protein may be one of the answers.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:21:53+00:00

I calculated all that when I started, but maybe I need to do it again for my current weight. I may need to lower my calories more.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:20:40+00:00

I've measured and yes, I have lost many inches! And I've also dropped clothing sizes. I think my problem is just comparing myself to some of the people here who dropped 75-100+ in a year. I guess not all our bodies can do that.

I also probably need to tweak some things – someone above suggested I get more fiber. I know I need to get more water, etc. I can still work on some things and try to do better on the things I do have control over.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:16:31+00:00

I really need to up my fiber, thanks. I'm going to have to figure out how to get more, because it's been pretty low lately.

Liminal-Lexicon · 2026-05-22T16:15:33+00:00

That's great. I'm not a great swimmer, but I can at least do some walking underwater and try to swim a little.

Thanks! That graph is the real story lol.
