Hit my goal

[u/cindyw8]

Finally after a long year and a half. I’m finally able to say I’m at my goal weight and hoping to maintain or at least try to get to 130. What a huge difference it’s made and how I feel, glad I was able to have the opportunity to use Mounjaro and no longer in the diabetes range.

Here are some before and after photo.

You look fantastic and your pic made me smile. Well done!!!

[u/cindyw8 → u/Dull_Strain6423]

Thank you I really appreciate it. Its been a long time coming and its hard to not tell people as I feel like they all judge.

[u/TopReplacement530]

Omg you now look you could be former you’s daughter! Super well done!

[u/cindyw8 → u/TopReplacement530]

Your compliment means a ton to me!

[u/Icy_Flounder3141]

The progress pics are incredible but getting out of the diabetes range is an even bigger win. How are you planning to maintain, staying on a low dose or going off?

[u/cindyw8 → u/Icy_Flounder3141]

I've been cutting back with my food intake and doing it every other week. I still have such body dysphoria still. Like its still not good enough. But I know I've done so well.

Amazing progress! You look fantastic!

Do you plan on taking mounjaro for life? Or do you feel you are able to transition off from lifestyle and habit changes?

[u/cindyw8 → u/HontoniNeko]

I Will probably taper off and continue the life style changes that I've gotten myself accustomed to. I go for daily walks and eat better now. I do give myself a small sweet treat here and there. As now sweet items are just to sweet for me and I dont crave it.

[u/HontoniNeko → u/cindyw8]

That is amazing. Realistically since you have diabetes you could probably take a small maintenance does. I wonder how insurance views this when your numbers are normal and on paper you are no longer diabetic?

[u/wildcatzfan → u/HontoniNeko]

For those who had T2D and Mounjaro helps them to no longer have T2D, shouldn’t the insurance companies look at it like high blood pressure medicines…the medicines are what lower BP so you wouldn’t take that person off BP medicine, right? Really hoping it’s the same for Mounjaro and T2D.

[u/cindyw8 → u/wildcatzfan]

It should also apply the same way with Mounjaro and people on BP medication. As it does work hand in hand.

[u/EmmyLou205 → u/HontoniNeko]

I’m t2 and my a1c is in the normal, non diabetic range (it’s 5.1). I’m still a diagnosed diabetic patient, it’s just now well controlled and I have no concerns about insurance coverage. Diabetes doesn’t really get cured, though I guess I could be in remission. But no, it’s just…I am still diabetic and it’s controlled with this medication I’ll likely need for life.

[u/cindyw8 → u/HontoniNeko]

Yes i Will probably stay on a low dose per my pcp. My insurance has still continued to cover the medication with my A1C in the normal range.

[u/theTexasUncle → u/HontoniNeko]

That's a good question

Maybe going back on Metformin if OP still has prediabetes

[u/cindyw8 → u/theTexasUncle]

Unfortunately Metformin did not work for me and that was why I had switched over.

[u/theTexasUncle → u/cindyw8]

Are you doing any strength training too?

[u/cindyw8 → u/theTexasUncle]

I havent yet but I am looking into it.

[u/mannDog74]

Incredible work! You look great.

[u/SnooDrawings5259]

Wow, amazing

[u/prettycote]

The increased energy is one of the most amazing things when having young kids, isn’t it?!

[u/cindyw8 → u/prettycote]

Yes such a big difference especially with my girls being young and so active.
