Reading this thread on Non-scale victories hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 291 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

7 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 66 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Non-scale victories — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

Relevant to Non-scale victories — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 243 → 113 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Thank you CryptoCarl! This is incredibly helpful. Bookmarking for later. 🙏

+1 to Dr.ObesityLA. Especially the point about "Non-scale victories is exactly what I've..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Non-scale victories.
