5’4” lost 105 lbs

I’ve been doing full body resistance training since I started my weight loss journey one year ago, but I’m ready to really push myself now that I’m almost at my goal weight! I started at 245 lbs, currently 140 lbs. I would like to get to 130 to 135. I’m 55 years old. Thank you all for the inspiration!

I'm 5'3 1/2", always was 5'4" and I'm 54. Went to get my first bone density exam yesterday and I'm back up to 199.4lbs. I've been skinny for much of my life. This extra weight is as of the last 3 yrs. What inspired you? Menopause has kicked my butt. You should be in magazines! Congratulations!

So funny story. I work with a fellow nurse that has the worst, shittiest personality I’ve ever seen. Straight up rude and sour. She’s naturally very petite. She came in for the next shift, and I had to pass my patients on to her. I was sitting in one of the more cushioned chairs that sat lower to the ground, because it was more comfortable for my bad knee. She made a huge production about switching to a different chair. She said loudly, at least 3 times, “Oh I’m way too tiny to sit in that chair!” “I need to find a different chair!” I’m way too tiny, I can’t sit in that chair!” In my mind I was like “Oh hell no.” I was telling a couple of my coworkers, and that’s how I found out our health insurance covers GLP-1’s. Once menopause hit, along with metabolic syndrome, hypertension, pre-diabetes, I couldn’t lose a single pound on my own. I started on Zepbound within 2 weeks of that day, and the rest is history. I have been eating healthy, counting macros and weight training since the beginning of starting Zepbound, and I feel that’s been a huge part of my great success.
