One Year Update
I finally get to post my one-year update! I’ve lost around 105 pounds. Starting weight: 316 Current weight: 211. This journey was NOT easy. But I have so much more life and strength and energy than before. Making the decision to start on this medication was hard. I wanted to love my fat body. But it hurt to walk and I was tired after a block. I hate to admit that I hated what I looked like. One sunny afternoon in April 2025, my boyfriend and I were on a walk and we stepped into a crosswalk. A woman in her car screamed “we don’t have to stop for you, fatass!” Through the window. It shattered me. Not only was she wrong (lol it definitely is the law) but she was the last straw. Looking back I hate that THAT was the last straw, but it led to one of the best decisions I’ve made in my adult life. Anyways- 105 down, current dose 5.5 (I’m reallyyyy sensitive), Barre classes 3x a week. I don’t calorie count, probably eat anywhere from 800-1500 calories a day. Thank you to this Reddit community for answering my questions and helping me on this journey. Still have 30-50 more pounds to go, but I’m not in a rush. I feel great.
