80+ lbs down and counting
These before photos were taken in early 2024, about six months before I started my tirzepatide journey in September 2024, so I can’t be 100% sure what I weighed here — but my highest weight was 290 pounds. Today, I’m just under 210 pounds, and I truly feel like I have my life back.
I’m no longer out of breath all the time. I have the stamina to do Pilates and HIIT workouts, I can take the stairs without fear, and the constant aches and pains I used to live with are gone.
This medication has genuinely been life-changing for me, and I’m so grateful that I advocated for myself, changed insurance plans, and found a non-surgical weight loss doctor who actually supported my goals instead of dismissing them.
I know these medications can be controversial to some people, but for me, this has been about improving my health, mobility, confidence, and quality of life — and I’m incredibly thankful for that. ❤️
