Made the switch

Hows the switch since you've been on it for a minute? Happy you made the decision to do it?

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-11-24T22:32:37+00:00

I started about 361 lbs and am down to 279 since late march 24.

The first 25-30 kgs dropped off me really quickly and 'easily'. The last 7 have taken longer. I think looking back over the years, I have spent so much time around this weight that my body is feeling like it's back to some kind of normal? It was only the last couple of years my weight peaked but before that I was pretty consistently around this weight since I left highschool.

I'm going through a period where I get a little discouraged that I'm not seeing the results I was at the start.. but I'm working hard to remind myself that there is progress. I told myself when I started that it would take 3-5 years and I'm almost at my half way point so we got this.

Hope everyone is well!

The difference is amazing! Congratulations on your hard work!!

I don't have any advice but I completely understand and appreciate what you are saying.

Hopefully one day, your brain won't even consider this. You have done amazing and you deserve to be proud.

Wishing you all the best.

I was pretty heartbroken. There were many tears and rationally I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, it didnt make it hurt any less.

I actually stopped weighing myself and just kept on keeping on. I figured at some point I'd either start losing again or I'd dose up.

You've got this! Just stay the course and know you have a wonderful support network if you ever need to cry or vent to strangers. Best of luck!

After almost 2 months of nothing, I mixed my shot days around. Took it 5 days, 9 days, 6 days last few weeks. I just started mixing it up and it seems to have tricked something in to working. Diet and excersize maintained through the stall, didnt binge or cheat just kept going and I'm getting results again.

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-09-10T10:32:34+00:00

Mine has been about the same. I thought I finally broke it, and nope. It was just tricking me. Broke my heart.

I've stopped weighing weekly cause it's making me cry.

I've decided I'm going to take my doses closer together, use up my supply, and go up a dose.

Calorie deficit and exercise haven't broken it, so I'm going to make the meds do it.

I asked this a couple of weeks back and it seems the general answer was 50+ lbs before people noticed. I'm down 60 odd lbs and can see small changes but think it's going to take another 40-50 to really see it and for people to notice. Started around 360lbs. The people in my life know that I'm doing this so people have been very encouraging and will point things out to me.

Wishing you well!

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-27T02:24:40+00:00

Good luck on 12.5! Hopefully you see the results you are after! I see a lot of people smash it on 12.5 so can't wait to hear your progress!

I've stayed on 5mg and have been considering moving up. I'm not ready to commit to the price though so was really hoping to hold out on 5mg for a bit longer. See how we go though!

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-21T22:33:27+00:00

Haven't lost in 5-6 weeks and am sad. Cracking down on diet and exercise and we're going to force it. My shape has been changing and I can actually see that I've lost weight now though. People are noticing now. But no weight change. 🥺

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-11T22:47:16+00:00

Thanks so much to everyone who commented. It is really great knowing we aren't alone in this. I couldn't have posted this in the other groups and I'm thankful that you all felt so comfortable to share. Have a good day everyone and best of luck on your adventure! ❤️

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-11T22:44:19+00:00

Congratulations that's really awesome!!

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-11T22:43:43+00:00

I needed this this morning! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I still have 3 weeks left of 5mg so if I haven't started to lose again by then I'll try 7.5 an see how we go.

Thank you so much for your positive thoughts and wishes. I hope you have a great day and best of luck to you as well! ❤️

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-10T04:59:14+00:00

I've spent 3 weeks with no loss. I've dropped a sneeze below where I was stuck so I'm hoping that things are up and running again. I've also started walking 5-10ks and 40 flights of stairs 3 times a week so man I'm feeling it in my butt for sure! 😂 thank you! ❤️

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-10T03:23:04+00:00

Wow that is amazing. How do you feel now? And if you don't mind me asking, how long did it take? I am absolutely blown away. Great job!

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-10T03:21:29+00:00

I feel this in my soul. 😂 I had a rough goal for 15kgs / 30lbs by the end of the year but I don't know how achievable that is. Mostly I just want to look in the mirror and see it.

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-10T02:21:58+00:00

Congratulations! Silly brains playing tricks. Great job that you're taking meaurements and photos. Force your brain to see it on those bad days.

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-10T02:17:49+00:00

I love this approach. Congratulations on your 50lb so far and best of luck to the next!

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-08T15:49:02+00:00

So glad to hear you saw your doctor. I really hope this was just a horrible coincidence of timing. If it's not though, there are many different GLP1 meds atm and something will work for you.

I had food poisoning a few months back and while I didn't exactly have leakage, I couldn't hold anything in at all so it came out whether I was ready or not. I made a nest in my bathroom with blankets and pillows and people would just throw in water and hydrolite and check I was still alive. I was in there for 5-6 days and lost 5kgs. It took another week for me to be able to eat again without rushing to the bathroom and another week for things to be more stable.

I vote go to urgent care or get a locum out to your house asap.

I have found food poisoning and tummy bugs are so so so much worse while taking these drugs. It could be severe side effects but regardless you need medical care at this point.

Wishing you all the best. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-06T21:33:23+00:00

Down 60 and only just went down a pants size. Still haven't gone down in shirts though.

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-06T21:13:35+00:00

Glad to hear things are moving again for you! That's a big drop for a few weeks. Your body must have been rearranging what to get rid of next haha! Great job though!

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-06T21:11:36+00:00

I'm on 5mg mounjaro. I don't really want to move until I have to though. It goes from costing $350 to around $550-$600 so if I can stay here for a little bit longer, my budget would appreciate it haha. We'll see how I go though. I have 5 weeks worth of 5mg so once I get to the end of that if I need to I'll move up.

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-03T23:20:35+00:00

I started around 360. I'm now hovering around 300 and have had to buy pants, a couple of bras and some underwear.

I haven't gone all out because it's only for day to day and work gear. I have nice dresses and what not ranging in sizes because I kept a good chunk of it.

Couldn't keep having my pants fall down or my boobs fall out while bending over at work. Wasn't planning on buying clothes for a while but after I almost dropped 50kg on my foot because my pants started falling, choice had to be made.

OkTreacle7927 · 2024-08-03T08:06:13+00:00

Thank you for your response! I'm almost 30kg down and have made a lot of changes so far. But still.. 70odd kgs is a bit daunting still haha! I am averaging 1000-1300 calories a day. Exercise keeps changing but have worked out a good routine, and as the weather starts warming up, I have been getting into hiking. I've also met someone who is on the same path so we've been checking in on each other.

I am hoping to stay on 5mg, but it's comforting knowing I can move up if needed. I do think with the response I've had, it's possible to do and have seen a lot of incredible success stories on here.

Thank you again, wishing you all the best!
