225lbs to 160lbs

First off, super sorry for the dirty mirrors. I should’ve known better.

Alright, on to it lol. I figured I’d come share my progress with the group. I started at 225lbs around November/December. It’s been about 6 months and I I’m now 160lbs. My goal weight is 150lbs. I did the injections. I started at .25mg for like a month I believe. Then .5mg for a month. Then 1 mg since then.

I was a huge alcoholic as you can see from my robust gut on the left lol. Major alcohol dependence after leaving the army. But with alcohol comes food. I cold eat so much when drunk and that reality hit me fast. So I discovered I had hypertension and my doctors were freaking out bc they were saying I was too young for my BP to be that high on the regular. So I have to take heart medication as well.

Overall, my mood, habits, eating habits, personality, and more have grown. I genuinely feel like I matured. I can articulate myself so much better. Anxiety feels nonexistent. I can’t say it’s all the drug though.

I worked out extensively during these 6 months. I was running maybe 3-4 miles every other day. If not every day. I also had some major alcohol withdrawals during the first month. So the gym was helping counteract that. I curved the nausea with herb lol. Seriously, some of the stomach swings are crazy on this medication. It was only after the first few weeks I felt it “working”. Patience with this one lol.

But I can say for sure this medication changed my life. I was headed down a nasty path. Thanks for reading.
