[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me! And yes, it's as easy as it sounds.

My story is remarkably similar to yours, though I was a bit heavier. 5'7 and 145 after my third baby. Not technically fat, but felt disgusting, all my clothes tight, hated my flabby upper arms and my plump thighs and stomach.

My goal was to lose 10-15 lbs. I took the starting dose of 2.5 tirzepatide and had immediate and extreme appetite suppression, and the pounds fell off. Those first few weeks I was eating very little - 500-700 calories per day, and I was quite light headed as a result. I adjusted my dose down and settled on about 1200 calories per day. I always KNEW this is what I needed to do to lose weight, but fighting hunger is so hard for me, and I just could not find the willpower to keep up a calorie deficit for an extended period of time.

Tirzepatide is like magic. I still enjoy food, but I get very full after just a small meal, and I stay full for many hours.

I am currently 123 lbs, my wedding weight. Been maintaining that weight for the past few months by taking 1 mg per week (less than half of the starting dose). I don't think I'll ever stop. It is such a relief to no longer fight hunger every day of my life. It's a joy to exercise with the goal of feeling strong and healthy, rather than as a punishment and to try and work off my overeating. Like you, my intention was to take this for the short term just to drop those stubborn pounds, and then maintain on my own from there.

I can't see myself stopping the drug now though. I love it too much. I love not thinking about how many calories I've eaten, how many I have left, how many hours I can suffer without eating. Literally that's been how I've operated my whole life, and I'm just not willing to ever go back to that. Tirzepatide has removed my food obsession, and allowed me to make decisions about what to eat with my brain rather than with my stomach and crazed cravings. It is so freaking awesome and I highly recommend it. I wish I'd have had this decades ago.

Right. And when you get cancer or some other disease 10 years from now, from stupidly taking an unneeded drug with no long range testing, come back and tell us how you feel.[/quote]
