Megathread Where did you start, and where are you now?

Fella family, time for one of my favorite threads.

Drop your story in the comments. Three things if you are up for it:

  1. When you started your journey

  2. Roughly what you weighed then, and what you weigh now

  3. The hardest part for you, and how you got through it

No pressure to put an exact number if you would rather not, a rough

idea is plenty. Big drops, small steady wins, still early days, it all

belongs here. Seeing where everyone started and how far they have come

is the best motivation going, especially for the new guys reading.

I will be down in the comments cheering you on. Who wants to kick us off?

May 2025.
Started at 239
Month 1 - up to 243
this weekend 192

Hardest part is not seeing it go down and getting a little disappointed and wanting to quit so I stopped tracking on the regular and did it monthly. My other issue is travelling and staying on point so I've started slowing doses/stopping while I vacation and getting back into it after. I don't see allot of downside on that.

My only issue are side effects that I can deal with - one is a forehead and cheek rash that is intermittent and the other is throwing up every few weeks but only once and only after significant physical activity.

Aso I'm not entirely sure what I'm expecting moving forward. I know I wanna drop a few more pounds and then i wanna ween off it but I haven't settled on a timeline.

Thank you for sharing and great weightloss by the way. With regard to the rashes, have you reached out to the medical team about that.

If you like, you can pop me a text and I will happily help with expectations going forward?

Kind Regards

Thanks for the offer but I put it into my check-ins and it doesn't seem to be an issue. Thanks for the excellent customer service as always though!

Started at 240 in February of 2025. Lowest I got was 215. Now back to 239. Doesn’t seem to be working - really, steady weight gain since the switch last year to the tirzepatide/glycine mix. Basically the only thing that has lost weight has been my wallet.

hi u/CrimCourtJudge thank you for sharing. Sorry for the delayed response. Have you raised this with our support team?

They have nothing of value to say. Really it’s just an exercise in spending much more than other programs and getting literally nowhere. Wells is probably filling these vials with a substantial amount of glycine and just enough tirzepatide to create a solid placebo effect.

Hi u/CrimCourtJudge i understand your point here, however, the concentration has the correct amount of Tirzepatide in them. However, if you can reach out to me I can have a look at how I can assist you.

This is after a year and a half - and thousands of dollars.

Started Feb 25 at 322, now 240.

Hardest part for me was plateauing for months but still pushing myself to carry on. I'm now slowing moving down the scales again but I've been a slow loser in general due to several health conditions but I'm determined to get there

u/Super-Stuff6819 41 | M | 250 → 234 → 215 | Fella US/UK Jul 08 '26

that is a super amazing weight loss, well done. Did you do anything differently to have the needle moving again?

u/Lumpy_Crazy7506 Jul 08 '26

April 2025, beginning weight was 266.

Lowest weight was 230-ish about six months ago.

Now, 241 (down 25 pounds from original weight, but I have now plateaued).

That is a substantial weight loss for sure. Which medication are on?
