One user reports starting at 0.5 mg and reaching 5 mg over 20 weeks with strong satisfaction in the outcome. The thread fills with congratulations on the visible transformation and shared personal metaphors for the pounds shed. Participants enjoy before-and-after images for motivation while a few prefer numbers alone. Creative daily-life comparisons such as bags of grain, turkeys, milk jugs, and sticks of butter help people grasp the scale of change.
What this discussion establishesOne participant finds photos unnecessary and would rather see only the numbers, while others say the images are highly motivating.
Nothing here is advice.
Began this regimen twenty weeks back with half a milligram of Reta, gradually increasing the dose to five milligrams, and I'm really pleased with how it's going.
Those outcomes look fantastic! It's too bad I skipped taking any progress shots or getting a bone density test ahead of time. (At the start I couldn't even spell the name of that scan right...)
Seeing the new you emerge this fast is amazing. Superb effort!
For me sharing the outcomes seems plenty on its own since images don't really impress. Still well done though.
Pictures showing changes from start to finish always thrill me. The ones with dramatic shifts stand out most. They give me a real boost.
Man, April to now shows some wild transformation! I bet that has you feeling way improved these days. Ninety one pounds counts as quite the achievement, nice work on it!
I'm blown away by this and feel such pride watching you start this adventure.
It's easy to spot the gains from those images and they're fantastic!
Dropping 91.9 pounds counts as a huge achievement! Your efforts stand out. 👍
It's wild to reflect on the extra load I used to haul around prior to shedding those pounds. Picture lugging half a dozen birds from the market each single day! Such great advancement!
I've hauled turkeys in the past as well, yet the images that stick in my head are those five-pound sacks of flour and containers of milk. When I start to feel that dropping five to eight pounds doesn't matter much, I picture lugging one or two of those up a flight of steps and how it would feel. Still, that load of birds is something else. 😳
This one really hits the spot. I've dropped more than seven gallons so far. Going up the steps to the workplace a bunch of times each day doesn't seem nearly as far. Breathing stays steady too 🙂
Wondering about livestock rations? No doubt you're toting genuine sacks of that stuff while handling your job... 👍 😎
Yeah, those critters are lounging on my covered deck space right this second, ha ha ha. Tracking my scale numbers always reminds me how much extra bulk I once toted around, like a couple sacks of feed. For little ones I switch to butter portions as the unit instead. My pal's tiny fluff ball comes in at a dozen of those butter portions, can you picture it? 😂😂
Handling those feed sacks comes up all the time for me as well. Never considered framing it that way before. I've misplaced an entire sack of the sweetened variety, to be exact. The sugary stuff led to my extra pounds from the start, you know.
Nice job shedding those pounds. Reading this sparked a plan for me. I'll stuff a rucksack with exactly the total I've dropped. On days when drive fades or temptation creeps in, I'll strap it on for exercise to recall how things used to feel.
In my area the bags of cat litter each hold twenty pounds. It's funny how handy they turned out for handling the litter box and following weight loss progress.
From this point onward I plan to tag you myself in every one of my comparison shots.
You've succeeded nicely. This path has been taken by lots of us already.
Check what's listed right after this. We already covered that alternate subject earlier. A sack of concrete somehow went missing on me.
That's a really good idea! 🎒
Visualizing my weight reduction in terms of butter portions helps me grasp how much a single pound represents in size. I've already shed around thirty five of them. My goal now is to take off one additional from each leg and possibly two from both of my arms above the elbow.
My favorite part comes when they spot the change themselves. This is true more so for those I've known ages. What a rush!
Passed the mark of losing one hundred pounds. Look at this photo of my advancement.
Such impressive results!! Your transformation looks remarkable and totally different! Truly motivating 😁 The organization of your photos is also top-notch, very easy to see! I didn't capture my starting image until after shedding 30 pounds, which I now regret. Moving forward, I'll document progress at every 10-pound mark.
You must be sensing the shift yourself. Hearing about daily life in your slimmer shape would interest me. How does the reduced mass show up for you? Excellent progress!
