Hello everyone. I'm Lisa and I was excited to find this group. I have been on this roller coaster for decades. I was at my absolute lowest mentally and near my absolute highest weight this week. With zero motivation, I still picked up my phone and did a Google search for medical weight loss. Called, and they were able to see me that day. Thank God!! I got my first injection and so this journey begins. I just turned 50 in Nov. and my goal is 50 before 51. I'm a hard working mom, work from home and have a very stressful job that I love. I hope that this medicine will keep me on track with a little help from my new friends. Feel free to add me!!

Hi Lisa! I'm Marki. I understand what you were feeling. This medication was a last ditch effort for me because I have tried everything else short of surgery. It started off quickly, but it has slowed down. I've added in exercise this week to keep things moving before my next dosage change.2

Thank you Marki! When I read your posts here, I knew I found a friend to walk this journey with. When I told the provider that I wanted to lose 50 lbs, he said,, " you really need to lose..." and I interrupted him and said, "if you tell me 100+, I will feel defeated and leave." So, he said ok, 50 is a good start. Then he sent in one of his med techs, late 30s, skinny n cute, and she said "I came to tell you that I lost over 100 pounds and that I sat in that chair and felt the same way. If did, so will you. " I wanted to cry.
I'm also glad you a dose or so ahead of me so I can get advice from you 😉.4
