Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this Social media thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪

mike_nyc — that is really helpful context on Social media comparison. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?

I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Reading this thread on Social media comparison hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 267 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

13 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 42 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Social media — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

Reading this thread on Social media comparison hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 289 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 64 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Social media — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
