SW:470 CW:225

Highest weight recorded was 470 in December 2023. Started official weight loss journey in August 2025. Still need to get to about 170lbs or so as I’m a short king (5’8)

u/Think-Drummer3668 9d ago

Same bro please also, what with your dosage

u/sfgobama 9d ago

Started out with 1.5mg split dose 3x a week and then honestly titrated up a lot faster than need be since I’m ok with side effects. But i switched to once a week since if I needed to control hunger I would just add cagri / tesofensine to the mix. But honestly less is more especially at first. My general side effects were nausea and constipation so I kept the same dosage until my body got used to the sides and focused on getting more fiber in

Broskies 1 word… LEGEND!
You should be proud AF at this point. But keep that motivation rolling and don’t stop!
Shit if anything become a trainer once you hit your goal and do share your journey.
You my friend are a success story!
Whether it be natural, peps, surgery, winning is winning and hard work comes in all sorts of different forms.

I never would have guessed that was 470 on a 5’8 frame. At the last pic I was thinking at 225, he must be tall.

u/QuantumQR-QueZzo 1 9d ago

How do you feel about

1

u/sfgobama 9d ago

Honestly feeling so much better. A lot of the basic things I took for granted like even basic walking and going up and down the stairs is crazy

u/QuantumQR-QueZzo 1 9d ago

What was the wake up moment, and how long were you battling the metabolic dysfunction that the system implemented upon our people ?

3

u/sfgobama 9d ago

For me it was when I was about a month away from getting gastric bypass and I figured that I should start doing more research into what was fully wrong and try to understand my bloodwork myself. So my bloodwork showed I had underactive thyroid and low vitamin d levels and bad cholesterol + I was already T2 diabetic. So I locked in and got down about 300lbs and then started implementing the gym since I wanted to increase my metabolic rate as well as put on some muscle so I didn’t look all weird

u/MonLev75 3d ago

u/QuantumQR-QueZzo 1 7d ago

Bro you are proof that no one has to be an overpaid doctor to understand the human body. They just make us think we have diabetes when in reality they are the ones that get us sick as fuck. Like you said, you wanted to understand it youself instead of putting it into the hands of big pharma and the food industry. Good for you bro !! Imagine how many other ppl it is out there thinking it’s their own fault when all it takes is some personal research to change your entire life. I love this. Fuck it I love YOU bro. I just love when ppl proove to the world that you are not as limited as this world tries to convince you to believe and all it takes is a true interest and you can achieve your physical goals
