Success! Stage 3/4 to Stage 1 in 7 months!
Hello everyone,
Sorry im still a little ecstatic from the news.
Background: As a child, my only symptom was acanthosis nigrican but I chalked it up to being a bigger kid for most of my life. My heaviest weight was 265 at 6"3 as a male. 2 years ago I started using GLP1s and lost 45 lbs. In October 2025, I asked my doc to do a liver scan due to random worry (no pain, no symptoms, its just...felt like I should). Stiffness came back as 10.9. Enzymes were lower than previous (30s) but still improvement was needed.
From October 2025 to May 2026, I ate (what I referred to as) the DIRT diet, heavy meditaranean, tofu, occassion snacks, whole wheat everything. I am on Mounjaro 12.5. Lots of Zevia with the occasional diet soda. I dropped from 220 to 206.2lbs as of today.
Results from MRA came back today: 3.1 stiffness! 0.1 away from normal/inflammation. I could cry. Entire MRA was clear of abnormalities.
Its possible. For those with fear, its very possible. Dedicate yourself to eat healthy. Avoid temptations. Occasional snacks and a meal once in a while is fine, but do better for yourself, and you will improve.
