[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I was in your exact boat, except a couple of years older (47). But I, similar to you, was 123 pounds at my wedding 20+ years ago and in the low- to mid-130s through my 30s. After the birth of my third child in my early 40s, I had trouble losing the baby weight, and then COVID lockdown didn't help.

I started GLP-1 on January 4 when I was 145 pounds, also at 5'7. I understand that I was not overweight, but I was heavier than I wanted to be. None of my pants fit. My belly was hanging over my belt. I just felt bad about myself.

I have lost 17 pounds and feel wonderful. Everything fits me again. I just came back from a vacation and it was the first time in years where I didn't feel self-conscious in my bathing suit. I can almost see abs! DH keeps telling me I look unbelievable. I am so happy I did this.

The GLP-1 (tirzepatide) made it so that I didn't think about food all the time and felt much less hungry. Eating filled me up quickly and the feeling of fullness lasted many hours. So it allowed me to have a calorie deficit without suffering.

I'd like to lose a couple of more pounds and then I don't know what my path will be. I am loathe to stop this medication and possibly return to being hungry all the time and trying to fight my cravings. But maybe, now returned to my happy weight, my motivation will be enough to keep me here. If not, I'm fine with continuing the drug.[/quote]

How did you get glp1 (tirzeptide) at 145 lbs? My doctor refused as my bmi was 25. I have been trying to lose 20 lbs forever and nothing my is working [/quote]
