Week 4 tirzepatide update: 253 lbs.
Clearly, as the photo demonstrates, I have transformed into an absolutely shredded genetic specimen. đŸ˜‚
Actual results are a little less dramatic, but they are moving in the right direction.
Back in January I was pushing 280 lbs. I managed to get down to about 255 through diet and exercise, then slipped backward and climbed back to 268. Since starting the shots, I have worked my way back down past that previous low and hit 253 this week.
I am not losing as fast as I hoped, but I am losing. A little at a time, consistently, and I will take that.
Side effects have been basically nonexistent so far. The only strange thing I have noticed is a weird tingly sensation for a little while immediately after taking the shot. Other than that, nothing worth complaining about.
So, Week 4:
253 lbs.
Down 15 lbs from my relapse high.
Down roughly 27 lbs from where I started the year.
Still a long way to go, but for the first time in a while I am moving into new territory instead of just losing the same weight over and over again.
Progress is progress.
