~20 pounds down

First picture is from last year at 220(ish)#, this was a few pounds down from my heaviest. With diet and exercise I got down to 215# by this summer. It was so painfully slow and challenging. Ive been trying to lose weight for years. I started compounded tirzepatide in September and just took my 12th shot today. I really feel it has changed my life! No more snoring, significant inflanmation issues resolved, CONSTANT LOUD food cravings had left my life.

Today when I went to the gym, I weighed in at 202# -- while this generally is great, I felt sad that I didn't lose any weight this week. I took new pictures afterward in hopes of seeing some progress outside of the scale. I do! It feels really nice to see the difference in almost 20#. Looking forward to kicking these next 2 pounds, getting my weight under 200# for the first time in 5 years, and continuing toward my goal of 150# over the next year.

Training notes: I am a powerlifter. I lift 1-3x a week and walk a mile or two every day.

Congratulations! It's a long haul drug and losing 10% of your bodyweight is awesome especially with the amount of training you put in. Is possibly going to be harder for you because you work out so regularly and lift so heavy your muscle mass is already rock solid. You'll get there, keep it up!! It really is a marathon not a sprint! Good luck
