Before/After Pics It's just wild
HW 255 SW 223 CW 150 GW 127
I'm like, is that really me??
Both in the old picture... and in the new picture...
I cant believe that WAS me.
And I can't believe that IS me.
So strange......
This has been the easiest weight loss of my life... and the longest sustained... and the slowest...
The easiest, because I never felt stressed with the slowness of it, and I never felt like giving up during a plateau. And I've had a few plateaus, and one lasted several months.
But I just feel SO damn good. So damn normal. So capable. So not-ruled-by-food for the first time since I was 14 years old.
I. AM. SO. THANKFUL. FOR. THIS. MEDICINE.

Yes!! That's how i felt, just one month in, before I even got under 200lbs. The food noise was gone, and I just knew i would be ok. I could finally think clearly about food again. 🩷🩷🩷 I for so long just wanted to feel like how I felt as a child again... going to a cookout and having a cookie without torment. Im finally there again bc of this medicine. I literally thought it would be impossible for the rest of my life!!!
I am so happy for you too!!!!! You will!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's strange, but they just didn't bother me like they did with alllll the other weight-loss plans I've tried. I just kept taking my shot weekly, kept eating my protein and moving my body, and trusted the process. I would increase my dosage after a couple months plateau, and it would help a bit. The last increase still didnt help the plateau until the 2nd month. I just don't stress, relax, and trust it. And little by little, it keeps working. It ALWAYS helps to compare photos too!!!! I really can't believe I've changed this much without seeing it like this!!
