After bouncing back and forth between 170lb-173lb for about a month and a half, and this morning, I weighed in at 168!! In celebration, I’m reminiscing on a gym selfie a year ago and yesterday 😁💪🏾 Feeling proud and grateful to spread my cheer in the community 🫶🏾

After a brief scare where I thought I had wasted $75, I was able to get my 2 68ml vials.
Timeline:
7/25 - Submitted intake
7/27 - first response from RN for async appointment, needed a more recent prescription originally, but explained that I was still using my order from my provided prescription and did not require a change of dosage
7/28 - Was approved
7/29 - Submitted payment for tirz, was filled and shipped
7/30 - Arrived!

Hello! 👋🏾 Late May 2025, I began taking the glp-1 tirzepatide, really focusing on my nutrition, and going to the gym consistently (about 5/6 times a week now). I found a love in fitness I never thought possible. I catch myself smiling/laughing like a looney toon on the treadmill because I used to literally dream of being able to run without feeling so weighed down. I don’t have to dream anymore 😌🙌🏾

(The shirt in my before photo, I got at 15/16 years old, a teen desperate to feel healthy and better about themselves. 10 years later, it finally fits 😭)

Feeling slightly shamed by my watch today 😂😪

Finally got the courage to post! I have recently been watching a lot of YouTube videos, trying to improve my voice. Any advice/critique would be appreciated! Also, sorry for the abrupt ending, someone came in and I got scared 😭

A little over a year ago, I made the decision to start a taking glp-1, be more serious/conscious of my nutrition, and start strength training, and I have never regretted it 😌

298.3 —-> 175.4
5’5(ish)

I’ve never been so excited to be labeled overweight! 😅 Though the BMI is not the best/most accurate way to determine health, it is nice to know that if I ever used a Wii Fit again, it would be less humiliating 😭

Height: (basically) 5’5
HW: 330s SW: 298.3 CW: 175.4 GW: ?
💉: 8.5mg
Edit: Started May 20th, 2025

Soooo I definitely picked up all of my items for this order. Half of the order was ready a few days before the rest, but I grabbed all the items on the same day. Then I received this. I wanted to return one of the items from my order, but don’t know if the cancellation would make that pointless

Think this has been my most consistent month yet! Whoop whoop 🙌🏾

Hello!! 32.5lb bss. Any advice on form would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!

About a decade ago, 16 year old me was obsessed with YouTubers (especially ObeseToBeast) posting about their major weight losses and bought this size Medium tshirt. It felt like a pipe dream to order. I held on to it throughout the years, lying in dark closets collecting dust, only trying it on to get a good “before” photo, with no afters to come…until now :)

May 20th, 2025 is when I took my first shot, and as the year has gone by, the two largest changes that have occurred (other than weight) are my fitness goals and relationship with food. I have a LOT of larger family members who’s weight is related to diet, so I’ve never really been a healthy weight nor had a healthy relationship with food. I was constantly going through waves of overeating, actually stuffing myself to the point of pain; getting a chicken sandwich and quesadilla from Applebees before driving to BWW for fried pickes and a burger, and that would be my dinner. Then forgetting to eat for a day and doing it all again. The amount that of times I’ve double dashed, and the drivers ran into each other on my doorstep is ridiculous. But now, I have more control. I still crave things, but it doesn’t feel like it’ll consume my entire being. I take it easy on dairy and actually act like the lactose intolerant person that I am. And I eat more regularly, trying to weigh what would fuel me, without fully depriving myself of the fun stuff too!

The second biggest change has been my fitness. I started going to the gym when I started my shots and it has completely revitalized me. I had been in my 20s but physically, I actually started to feel my age. I started strength training about 4 times a week (6 now), later incorporating cardio in the form of rowing, and I absolutely swear by it! The way my muscles fill out the space where excess fat use to be is very cool. I did not know what Body Recomposition was before working out, but it is the absolute truth!! I’m loving the way my body is looking and feeling, and the endorphins are a bonus! Especially for those suffering from anhedonia on the shot. It also forces me to be okay with the scale going up, because muscles have weight and they retain water, so I had to shift my thinking and start seeing weight upticks as proof of progress. I’ve never felt so strong and confident.

Overall, I’m just super grateful. It’s abnormal.. but I feel normal?
Mostly, I try to eat the best option for me at the time, but sometimes a guava milkshake opportunity comes along and you have to take it. Food itself isn’t good or bad, it’s just how I utilize it. But my love of fitness was truly surprising. The gym has become my second home and I don’t know if that would’ve happened without Tirz. I’m also grateful to those in the community. It is always nice to have a space where you can truly relate and be free to talk about an otherwise stigmatized subject with others who know what I’ve experienced. I feel reborn and can’t wait to see what this next year has in store! 😁🫰🏾💕
