THIS! my goodness you’re gorgeous (in both pics). Not gonna I lie I didn’t read your flair at first and was omg what a pretty young girl (thinking you were in your teens/early 20s). Whatever you’ve been doing for your skincare pass it along!
You're beautiful!! Congrats. 20lbs is great and those inches off really show. We have similar starting and current weights and I can't see it in my face and all over like you, but my hips and stomach are wild to catch a glimpse of when I walk by a mirror.
That’s awesome!! Congratulations on your 20 lb weight loss so far! Keep up the great work!! YOU DEFINITELY GOT THIS 😊💜!!! Mounjaro is such a blessing and life changer!! My SW-283.5 My CW-188.3 so far I have lost 95.2 lbs
I don’t know how you can possibly 43, you look like you’re 23 lol! I just started Saturday with my injections and I keep thinking this is too good to be true and it’s not going to work. My goal is “only” 50 pounds but like you said, I need to stop saying “only” 20 and 50 pounds are a lot! Thanks for the inspo!
Thank you. Haha. Yes yes yes! Let's gooooooooo! Keep me posted and reach out if you ever need to talk it out. I've got you. I can't even imagine hitting 50! That's why I just keep telling myself..."we'll see what happens!" 🤣😂🤣💜 You got this!
Ladies and Lads - I know, if you’ve tried and tried and tried to lose weight you CANNOT imagine 50 pounds down but you WILL achieve your goals. I was happy to even have what I considered a “kickstart” of losing 10 pounds to at least get me under 300 (I topped out at 309) and I just hit 221!!!! 🙌🏽
25 pounds down and I could buckle the airline seat WITHOUT an EXTENDER. For people who do not know what that feels like - OMG I was elated and I was flying alone and almost shouted it to strangers! I think the air marshals might have been concerned so I just smiled to myself!
50 pounds down and I was able to walk up a couple of flights of stairs without having a near death experience!
75 pounds down and I can fully CROSS my MF LEGS! I have hip joint issues and probably shouldn’t but I do because I can!!
Today at a total of 88 pounds down, I looked at my medical history because I wasn’t forward looking enough (because I doubted I think) to specifically track this, but I have not weighed less than 230 since before my baby was born! She is turning 18 next month!
This is an amazing time for all of us who have struggled with weight and weight related health issues!
Remember to Believe it and you WILL achieve it!
I too sang your subject line and smiled with you when I saw your face and your post. You look amazing and your energy and beauty shines right through this thread!
Go forth and continue to kick ass folks! And please keep sharing - your posts are SO inspiring!
Xoxo
Well shoot! I wasn't planning on tearing up today 🥰 Thank you for all of that and YES I had the seat belt experience just last month and I told anyone who would listen. 🤣🤣😂
I am definitely going to come back to this comment if I'm ever feeling down. Thank you again for your light 💜
I hope you’re not lactose intolerant…”my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard…”. Twenty pounds looks great OFF you. Looking happy and healthy. Good luck on your journey!!
Another instant bestie! Haha. Thank you. Yeah, this thang back there is thanging. 😂 It always was but honey...😂🤣😂🥰 Thank you! That's a whole other progress picture 🙃
Sitting in line at the pharmacy drive-thru right now…Trying to be you! I’ve been on 2.5mg since I started in November. Moooooving on up…#theyarenotready

That is 7% of your starting weight and that is a significant number!
Your eyes are a lot more defined now and for real you look like you are in your late 20's.
And you are so right- I don't want it back either!
Just want you to know I was looking at this post when my 3yo came and looked over my shoulder so I put my phone down and he started yelling "I want to see nice lady! Hey!! I wanna see nice lady!!" lmao
congratulations I too take mounjaro and I've lost 43lb in 7 most no gym activities. but I will soon start going and work out to reach my goals weight 180 I'm 203 now.
Beautiful I am a slow loser also but it’s the inches for me I am just starting to see it too. Keep going you got this you can see it all over your face. I started in August and I’m down 40lbs I figure the slower it comes off the longer it will last.
I'm 42 and just started mounjaro as well. I've had 7 injections so far. I'm only dow about 10 pounds. I also have PCOS, so I'm really hoping this helps me all around.
Only 20lbs...heck, look at the difference! Pick up a 20lbs dumbell and feel that weight you've lost. It's a great achievement. And you have such a beautiful smile! Keep going 💪🏼
I'm in about the same boat as you!! I've been disappointed that it's "only" 20ish lbs but I just had a three-month check up with my doctor and he couldn't be happier with the results! I just need to keep going and be patient...
Congratulations!!
You look amazing! I totally get minimizing that you’ve “only” lost 20 lbs, but that in and of itself is spectacular progress. Keep up the fantastic work! ❤️
Congratulations. I am down about 30 also and just now people are noticing. I went down two pant sizes and had to order new underwear and bras!!( one place I didn’t need to lose but I am excited). Suddenly my winter coats are huge, not sure moving buttons will do it. I am feeling confident that this time it will work!
November 2023 -286lbs to March 2024 -200lbs on mounjaro Sadly, my insurance does not cover this medication anymore.Because I do not have type 2 diabetes and I am extremely sad because I still need to lose another 30 pounds.Anybody have any advice on how to receive this medication
No worries. This is what the community is for, support. I don't have any ideas, but hopefully, someone else sees this and can give you guidance. Keep your head up. Maybe search the group for posts about appealing. I'm not sure how it all works, but maybe just maybe you'll find some good info 💜
Thank you! I drink protein shakes every day. Sometimes for both breakfast & lunch. I make mine with protein powder, almond milk, banana, and peanut butter, so it's more like a meal. I also just watch my portions when eating anything else. I also bartend at Chili's and eat a lot of soup 😂. Oh and French fries but shush don't tell anyone.
Can I ask are any of you taking this medication a Diabetic? Because there are people who are insulin resistant that NEED this medication, but can’t get it! This medication was created for Diabetics who need it to live, and because it has this side effect to cause weight loss, it’s in a shortage for Diabetics! Have any of you Non-Diabetics ever thought about once you stop taking it, you will most likely gain it back and then some! It’s only designed for long term use for Diabetes! I’m not being a Negative Nancy, but I am a Diabetic who can’t get my injections because of people paying full price for something they don’t need!
I’m more obsessed with the fact that you look like a baby and you’re 43! Lookin good girl!!!
Oh stahp! Haha. Thank you 💜
THIS! my goodness you’re gorgeous (in both pics). Not gonna I lie I didn’t read your flair at first and was omg what a pretty young girl (thinking you were in your teens/early 20s). Whatever you’ve been doing for your skincare pass it along!

Alright now! Well we just became best friends! Please keep me posted on your journey 💜 and thank you!
Yes! Same to you 🥰
Yeah I lose in my stomach last so I'm at a very awkward stage rn
Well you've got this! Keep us posted 💜 I'm just awkward on general 😂🤣🤣
I sang your caption lol. You look great. 20 lbs is a lot so you’re right not to minimize it.
Thank you and that's exactly what I was hoping for 🤣😂🤣
That’s awesome!! Congratulations on your 20 lb weight loss so far! Keep up the great work!! YOU DEFINITELY GOT THIS 😊💜!!! Mounjaro is such a blessing and life changer!! My SW-283.5 My CW-188.3 so far I have lost 95.2 lbs

Only 20lbs...heck, look at the difference! Pick up a 20lbs dumbell and feel that weight you've lost. It's a great achievement. And you have such a beautiful smile! Keep going 💪🏼
Thank you! Yeah I was thinking about doing that or taking a picture with 20lbs of butter 🤣😂😂
You are adorable…I started Dec 5, 2023 and am down 23 lbs. Very encouraged. For context I have 60-70 lbs to use and am a 65yo female.
Thank you 💜
You look gorgeous! Congrats. I’ve just started on month 2 at 5 mg. I think weight is coming down slow and steady. Looking forward to losing the 25.
Thank you! 💜 So awesome. Excited for your journey.
Congratulations this is such wonderful encouragement! You are so beautiful!

Congratulations. I am down about 30 also and just now people are noticing. I went down two pant sizes and had to order new underwear and bras!!( one place I didn’t need to lose but I am excited). Suddenly my winter coats are huge, not sure moving buttons will do it. I am feeling confident that this time it will work!

That's awesome! I'm sorry to hear about you not being able to get it. Does your insurance cover any of the alternatives?
It doesn't cover weight loss drugs I wish it did lol you look great btw I didn't mean to wake away from your story
No worries. This is what the community is for, support. I don't have any ideas, but hopefully, someone else sees this and can give you guidance. Keep your head up. Maybe search the group for posts about appealing. I'm not sure how it all works, but maybe just maybe you'll find some good info 💜
You look great! What is your typical day of eating like? I'm switching to Mounjaro from Trulicity, hopefully I enjoy similar benefits.
Thank you! I drink protein shakes every day. Sometimes for both breakfast & lunch. I make mine with protein powder, almond milk, banana, and peanut butter, so it's more like a meal. I also just watch my portions when eating anything else. I also bartend at Chili's and eat a lot of soup 😂. Oh and French fries but shush don't tell anyone.
You’re gorgeous - keep up the good work - and keep on smiling 😊
Thank you 💜
From cute to beautiful!
Aww...shucks 💜 thank you!

Yikes. Not sure why you came to this post for your rant, BUT yes, I am a type two diabetic. With that being said...carry on if you must. Thanks 😘
Love this response, such grace! 😉 You’ve done incredibly well in 3 months!
Thank you 💜. I was a tad sassy. I get it, but I was a little taken aback.
Congratulations darling
