I reached goal weight of 100lbs back in September. I am 4ft7in and lost half of my body weight from my highest weight recorded. even though my numbers aren't high I was a bmi of 43 because im so short. dont worry I am not too skinny, as you can see from the pictures.

I felt gross and disgusting. I wasnt prepared mentally for that. I thought losing weight would fix all of my problems.

I felt discouraged that I was finally able to get to a healthy weight the first time in my life and I dont feel great about myself. I decided pretty quickly I needed to look into skin removal surgery.

I checked locally first. I called a dr in vegas, 55k for what I need and thats not even for everything I need. I got defeated as I would never spend that kind of money on myself, plus it would take years to save. then I heard about mexico and turkey. I live a few hours from the Mexico border so I thought that might be a good option. there was only one dr I felt confident in there and she was 18k for what I needed. much better than vegas!

then I started looking at Miami. I got a bunch of quotes mostly around 13k , but they send you home/hotel same day as surgery and its done in a clinic and not a hospital. seemed to sketchy to me.

then I found Turkey 🇹🇷. there were several drs that came highly recommend and there were group chats available with their patients. I got quotes from 6k to 13k. after talking to countless women and looking at thousands of pictures I decided on my dr.

360tt possible FDL, 360 lipo, breast lift no implants and arm lift, $8,000. includes dr and hospital fees, 3 nights in hospital, 4 nights hotel apartment stay with nurse visits daily. compression garments, one lymphatic message. all meals in hospital and breakfast at hotel. all transportation and follow up appointments. medical travel insurance. I just pay for flight. I am choosing to stay almost 3 weeks to heal as much as possible. I have also planned for 10 hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions , beauty treatments, shopping, almost 2 weeks of extra hotels, food, activity money, more lymphatic massages, and with everything accounted for im budgeted for 15k total. but i probably wont spend as much as I allotted.

feel free to ask any questions

Been busting my butt with the clean diet and exercise and the help of a glp1. Never felt better and healthier than ever! I went to the dr and the scale as at 315 and he told me if I keep it up I will have full-blown diabetes. So I’ve been doing no carbs lots of protein veggies, fruit.Etc it’s not easy and some days I wanted to say screw this but I’ve been powering through and am very happy of where I got to so far.

I’ve been doing the peloton bike every day for 10 miles ( takes a half hr) and playing lots of pickleball

are we okay

*cue Nigerian “Jesus” sound*

Apparently these two people are the same person. I don’t physically/mentally feel like the person on the left, but I still think I look like the person on the left. I was not happy, and now I finally am! 7.5mg has been my sweet spot and now my inches are dropping like crazy!! I looked in the mirror yesterday and could finally “see” the weight loss. My hourglass ⌛️ waistline is coming in. These photos are two months apart.

When did YOU finally see your weight loss?

SW 194, HW 203, CW 173, GW 150... 140...?

My 9-year-old asked me if I were just going to stand there or if I were going to flex for the picture. When I said stand there she seemed confused and said it was a boring picture. 🤣

Even three years ago when I weighed less, I had more pronounced back rolls. Hell yeah weights!

i don’t always see the change when i look in the mirror, but wow

Woo! Hit my goal weight last week and am officially in maintenance. I'm also excited to announce that my insurance is covering Foundayo so I swapped over this week starting at 9mg. Took my first dose today, excited and nervous at what lies ahead for me in maintenance and this new medication.

next goal is 185, which I never thought was possible.

Weight has been an off and on lifeltime struggle. I grew up as the fat kid. Highest weight was 198 and squeezing into size 16/18. Lowest weight 135 and a size 4/2. In this pic yesterday I am 139. I’m almost 55 and 5’8”.

Life has kicked my butt around and eating became a coping mechanism and I was pretty much in an evening over eating/binging cycle for the last two years… probably longer than that even. Not to mention peri is crazy so I am in the throes of that. My GYN offered tirz and I jumped at the chance to do a microdose. Five weeks and down 18 pounds. I think a lot of it is inflammation but a lot was binge weight that came off quickly once I was able to stop stuffing my face. I have never felt better and for the first time in my life, I look at myself and think my arms are ok enough to wear a dress like this.

I had to share this picture because I really have no support in person. And I’m just keeping his journey quiet.

I don’t have any older pictures at my highest weight because that was before cell phones and it was decades ago. My other “starting pictures“ I originally posted when I began tirz and I got shamed with people commenting that I was not a candidate for this treatment. So I will refrain from posting them for comparison.

All I know is I feel like I’ve been reborn. This is what freedom feels like. I will forever be grateful for the mental peace I have because of tirz. That alone would be enough, the weight loss is just bonus. I’m on 2.5 and plan to stay there as I resolidify a healthy relationship with food, eating, weight, and myself.

I was out of state for 3 weeks and while I took my shots, I didn’t have access to my normal food/ workout equipment. I was worried I would gain weight, but I lost a few pounds and I’m no longer considered obese!

The era of pure olympia has ended over here.

Salute to Lumi Meds and this sub for the deets last June. I will miss you, Olympia.

I'm patiently waiting for my Southend supply to be over so I can crack open my pure BPI.

Just got my order today. It was nice knowing you ProRx 🥲

Not sure if I should use them or save them as a relic 😂
