I lost 5 pounds between December and mid-April prior to starting on tirzepatide (I was at 150 when I started it). I reached goal of 125 in 3 more months (4/19-7/12). That was a bit faster than I expected but I struggled to eat much for a while there especially on 5 mg, though I did go to 7.5 mg for 4 weeks at the end when I started to get more hungry. I dropped back to 5 mg 3 weeks ago. I seem to be holding in my range so will stay here for now.

Thank you! I'm very pleased with the process so far! How long did it take you to get to goal? I know you had a lot less to lose then I do!

Greetings all
Fog this morining but sun now. Thats the deal here when it is hot inland. Cool ocean air meets warm land = fog.
Scrabble was fun. Won two but lost to the Shark. All Good. Stopped in the studio and did a bit of glazing. Lots of stuff underway there. Cottage cheese for lunch with a bite of chicken. Better than my usual carb fest.
Wishing you luck with the appraiser Liz. No telling where those people get their ideas. My first house appraised for $500 less when I sold it and I had to take that hit. I am sure you will do well. New furniture indeed!
Paula I hear you. we have king sized bed and two dogs and there is barely room. These are not big dogs. Somehow each takes a huge amount of room. Glad your dogs accept the bench.
DD sounds like a great day going. Enjoy.
Bonnie how many jars of beans must you carry? That is a super workout! Today I was gifted some fresh runner beans. No canning goes on here. We eats 'em.
Chore time needed but not feeling it. Later...

18 lbs. lost! Can I get an even 20? Going once, going twice!
Nice mild day weather wise. Did a little cleaning this morning and just trying to figure out what to do this afternoon!
Finally got a better night's sleep. Both dogs sleep with us (both on my side) and even though we have a king sized bed, I'm always fighting for space. I can't even turn from side to side because of dogs and husband in the way! Well, I decided to buy a big tufted bench for the end of the bed and I put the dog beds on that bench and problem solved! I only had to put one dog back into her bed once and I had so much room for my legs to move around. It was divine! DH complained that he got cold because I was so far away! Too bad! This menopausal hot box loved it!
Easy dinner tonight - hot ham and Swiss on a croissant with a little honey mustard sauce. Oven baked to make the croissant extra crispy!

Taking a short break. Good luck with the appraisal; I'm sure that beautiful home will appraise for full value. Loving your plans for new furniture (I have no problem with supporting others in spending money on pretties, so...) Yah, do it! On our end, I'm thinking kitchen upgrades and window treatments; Kurt is all about infrastructure improvements. A compromise is in order, and I've proposed we do both!
Today is boxing up the donations in basement. And, I've totally forgotten about the army of garden vegetables, relishes, etc setting all in rows on the canning shelves.
Bout time to have that terrific Tuesday toting green beans up the stairs. Upside is I will get at least a bizillion terrific steps in today!
Feeling virtuous as I sip my fair life protein shake whirled with ice and an over ripe banana. And I had steak for dinner and will have leftovers today. Back on the protein wagon.
No specific plans today except to go workout. It's sunny this morning, still cool but should at least get into the 70s. Workout, some gardening , some reading, perhaps a Costco run. Relaxed day.
