Same experience here with 24% weight loss number. Dr.EM_Chicago described it perfectly.
ChrisMacros said:Night shift nurse — I started at 291 lbs and felt like I would tried everything
I respect ChrisMacros perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: 24% weight loss number blew my — the effect size varies considerably by population.
I am not saying ChrisMacros wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
Reading this thread on 24% weight loss number hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 277 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
13 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 52 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about 24% weight loss — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
