Being “normal weight”, not obese, or even overweight, when my smart scale said “normal weight”, I literally stared crying. That hit me out of the blue.

Freedom, yes, I can't wait. I'm not there yet. But, I will get there.

I’m only 4.5 months in on this GLP 1 journey and one of my things I noticed is that I just don’t grunt anymore. I can pick something up off the floor, get up out of a soggy chair or walk up the stairs with no grunting!

I just went through all my clothes and put together a bag to take to Goodwill. It’s the first time I didn’t save them thinking I’d need them again. And 10 pounds from now I’ll finally weigh less than my husband for the first time in 30 years. Thank you for sharing, so true. Cheers to our health and well-being.

My goodness!! I cannot tell you how much I relate to this video! Thank you so much for posting on this. It’s eye opening to know that others feel or felt the way you do in this weight acceptance and fitting into certain areas. I’m down 90 lbs 60 yo and starting to see some of these things happen to me! So grateful for this amazing glp med and movement and proud of you and everyone on this journey!!!

Wow this is one of the best videos I have ever watched on YouTube. Nearly every point resonated with me. The most exciting part of my weekend flight to a city in northern Australia was the fact that my seatbelt fit.. no extender needed. I even took a photo of the fastened clip - pretending I was photographing the view outside my window!

Karen!!! ☺️ .. The majority of my weight gain happened in my 50’s but I relate to many of your NSV’s!!! My biggest one is being able to get up off of the floor with ease!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 My granddaughters are now ages 5&6. When they were toddlers, I couldn’t get on the floor to play with them. I was 115 lbs heavier then. Now, I’m in maintenance and my granddaughters look surprised when they see me get on the floor .. yay for me!!!! .. 👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎉😃😃❤️❤️

I'm 63 and I've lost 85 pounds on a GLP-1. I can relate to the majority of your victories. I smiled and thought. "Oh yeah, me too". Thank you for sharing your journey. You are so relatable and encouraging. ❤

I’m 71. Been overweight from the womb. I’m In my 3rd week of Tirzepitide. Everything you said in this video: yes, I want that. I just want to live without minute by minute mental fat-bondage and exhaustion. I want to take out seasonal clothes and discover they still fit. Great video!

69 year-old female in maintenance my favorite non-scale victory so far is about a month ago. I went to Maine to visit my son and grandchildren and my seat happened to be in the middle of two large men. I don’t mean overweight just big tall, long legged men, and I didn’t have to worry about the uncomfortableness of me being so large that I blooped over on them and them being disgusted. I was the tiniest one in the row
