30 Ibs in 10 weeks!
At 5 5, my start weight is a BMI of 30-obese. CW of 150 puts me at a BMI of 25.
GW is 135-140. Age 48.
I'm very private, especially about Mounjaro because people can be judgy and it almost feels like cheating! But I'm going out on a limb and sharing photos on the internet. yikes.
Feeling great, can't wait to get new labs -I'm willing to bet my A1C is normal, no longer prediabetic (5.7 at last check).
I'm not following a special diet, just not overdoing any of it. I am convinced I had become insulin resistant, gaining about a pound a month over the last couple of years. I blame SSRIs (which I'm now off), the pandemic, menopause, and/or a lifetime of the binge/ restrict cycle because I always thought I was too fat (I wasn't. Who knows. But the weight would not budge no matter what. I was becoming miserable and my health was beginning to suffer. I clearly kept most of it around the belly which I was often able to hide with tunic tops, so I don't even know if anyone has noticed. My kids certainly haven't mentioned it and I don't talk about it much because I don't want them to get weird about food and body image.
I now feel like a normal eater, no longer obsessed with food. That's the real miracle here!
