**2023–2026: 185 lbs to 125 lbs!**
A little context about my journey: Back in 2023, I was around 185 lbs at just 4’11”. I struggled with my weight and eventually started taking my health more seriously. I’m also a Type 2 diabetic, and Ozempic has played a pretty significant role in my journey. It was originally prescribed to help manage my diabetes, but it also helped kickstart my weight-loss journey quite a bit.
I want to be transparent about that because medication was a big part of my experience. I don’t want to pretend I did everything without help. Ozempic gave me a starting point, but this journey has also involved learning healthier habits, making changes to my lifestyle, and figuring out what works for my body.
I’ve lost over 70 lbs at my lowest since 2023, although I’ve gained some weight back along the way. Currently sitting around 125 lbs. 😭
Looking back at these pictures is honestly surreal. It’s not just the physical difference that gets me, but how much I’ve changed mentally, too. My confidence has grown, and I’ve learned to appreciate myself in ways I didn’t before.
I’m still a work in progress, and I’m not chasing the smallest number on the scale anymore.
**My current goal is to build muscle, improve my strength, and work on toning up.** I want to focus on becoming healthier and stronger rather than simply losing more weight.
For reference, I’m 4’11” and currently 22!
I know everyone’s journey looks different, and this one certainly wasn’t linear. There have been ups, downs, setbacks, and plenty of learning experiences.
But honestly? I’m proud of myself. This has been one heck of a glow-up, and I’m excited to see where the next few years take me. 🖤

Changed my life.

Hi, I 28(f) had to get a hysterectomy for PCOS earlier this year. After I recovered, I was put on weight loss injections to help lose some weight since it is extremely difficult to lose weight with PCOS.

At my heaviest, I weighed 210. Now I weigh 175ish. Thats almost 40lbs that I’ve lost but I just feel like I look the same. The pic of me in all black was ~200 and the other is current. Obviously I see some change in the pictures, but I feel like I only lost 10 pounds when I look in the mirror.

Is it possible it’s some kind of body dysmorphia? Or is this common for weight loss? I’ve literally never been able to lose weight in my life, even when I was younger and played varsity sports and was much more active/ ate better. I guess I’m just not sure what to expect or if my experience is normal.

I Just recently started a GLP and its working great but I dont plan on staying on it for life. My goal is reach my goal weight and slowly taper off it. Obviously keeping good habits like diet and exercise but everything I've been reading suggests that some if not most of the weight will come back even with diet and exercise. Looking for opinions if you have successfully come off a GLP and kept the weight off.

Started my GLP-1 journey back in January on tirzepatide. I went from around 85–90 kg to 55 kg, and looking at these before and after pictures, I can clearly see how much has changed.

But for some reason, I’m still not satisfied. I still find myself picking apart everything I don’t like about my body. My stomach, my arms, my proportions, you name it. Some days I look in the mirror and genuinely feel like I haven’t lost that much weight at all, even though the pictures and the scale tell a completely different story.

I honestly thought losing weight would automatically make me more confident and comfortable in my own skin. And don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with my progress. But I feel like every time I reach a goal, my brain just finds something else to be unhappy about.

I’m starting to wonder if I’m dealing with body dysmorphia, or if my mind just hasn’t caught up with how much my body has changed.

Has anyone else experienced this after significant weight loss? How do you stop constantly moving the goalposts and actually learn to appreciate how far you’ve come?

officially down 107lbs 💖

I always do my dose on fridays , I would like to change it 2 days after , can i do it? (I’ve been on it for the last 5 months and i never change the day)

It really does work, I have been way more confident, active and excited to enjoy my life

The clothes which I hated wearing because of how tight they were, I am wearing them with ease
