It is pretty awesome . I’ve been on tirzepitide for a couple months. I’ve lost about 25lbs which is about 8% of my starting weight. I eat a lot less, but have not spontaneously changed what I eat. 50 years of bad habits take time to change.

But I atleast believe change is possible now. I’d pretty much given up. Every time I tried to go on a diet, I’d end up heavier than when I started. Not joking.

In 2009 I did have a winning streak on low carb keto, lost like 75lbs. Gained it back and more over the next couple years though. I’ve tried many times to get back into keto / low carb but have not been successful for more than a few weeks.

This is the first thing I’ve done for weightloss that has legit results that are personally shocking.

I’m very concerned about how to make changes long term. I don’t have a track record of making long term life changes, but I’m going to do my best with this opportunity.
