50lbs in 5 months! Gains everywhere!
The first photo is from July 2025 when I weighed around 280lbs. By that point I had only been sober for 9 months, and been working out and trying to diet for 6 months and had lost 20lbs.
The second and third are from December 2025. At that point weighed around 270lbs. I started lifting heavier with a trainer to keep me motivated and felt pretty good. I started Mounjaro on December 28th 2025 at 264lbs as measured by my doctor's office scale.
The last 2 are from today, weighing in at 215lbs. In that time, I've had to buy a lot of cheap fast fashion just to keep decent clothes on me. I feel so much better physically, mentally, and spiritually. I'm more confident and outgoing. I finally feel like myself.
I've been obese nearly my entire life. I've always had a deep belly button. I was the fat kid in kindergarten. This is all new to me. It's kinda like being trans, and I don't mean that in a dismissive way to our trans friends. I never felt like a fat person, I felt like a fit person trapped in a straightjacket of fat. I know what its like to feel trapped in a body that doesn't reflect who you are and the liberation you feel when you finally get the hormone therapy that helps you (because peptides are hormones so all glp-1 drugs are a type of hormone therapy).
