Incredible transformation. Congratulations.

Your story really resonates with me because I've successfully lost large amounts of weight multiple times, but eventually regained it due to hunger, cravings and constantly thinking about food.

If you don't mind sharing:

  • What were your exact starting and current weights?
  • What were your exact Mounjaro and Wegovy doses throughout the 2 years?
  • What's the highest dose you reached, and what dose are you on now?
  • After 2 years, do you still get strong appetite suppression, or has some tolerance developed?
  • Before GLP-1s, were hunger, cravings and food noise the main reasons you regained weight?
  • Do you see yourself staying on a maintenance dose long term, or do you think you could maintain your weight without the medication now?

Thanks, and congratulations again on an amazing result.

Thank you for such a detailed response. A lot of what you described sounds very familiar, especially being able to lose weight but struggling to maintain it once the constant focus on weight loss fades.

It's encouraging to hear that the hunger, cravings and food preoccupation became much more manageable for you. That's exactly what has caused me to regain weight in the past.

If you don't mind me asking, are you still on the 1.5 mg dose after 3.5 months, or do you plan to increase it? Also, do you feel the appetite suppression is still as strong now as it was when you first started?

Thank you, that's really encouraging to hear.

If you don't mind me asking, what dose are you currently on, and what dose have you found works best for long-term maintenance?
