I started my GLP at 230 in late November 2025.
I started my actual weight loss journey at 330 in 2021

Well done!!! I don't have an opportunity to go to the beach often, but if I did, swim skirt would be the ticket...they make a lot of really nice ones these days.

Well my endo doc knows about the GLP, NAD+and BPC /TB....I keep the rest to myself. I have however discussed peptides and their uses with my endo and while she cannot condone my taking them due to guidelines, she is aware I do dabble...
I'm not too worried about insurance as I am on VA health care from an old injury during the Gulf War.

You look incredible! Plus, 62 is still young. There's a bunch of newer science out there — billionaire tech bros are publicly saying they're reversing aging, and now they're wrestling with how to scale it for everyone (or, as I suspect he really meant underneath it all, 'if' it can be scaled). Yet top senescence researchers, Aubrey de Grey among them (yes, he's got some admittedly problematic metoo baggage on his record now — fun times — but he's still a brilliant scientist), have said for ages that hitting 150 years is going to happen. That some people walking around today will make it to 150 and maybe centuries past that. I mean, a few of those same tech bros who'll give us eternal life are also going to torch the planet, so there won't be anywhere habitable left to grow old in with breathable air or livable weather, but we might all end up averaging hundreds of years if we make it through whatever this insane moment is. All of which is to say... you look incredible. And 62 is young, girl. Keep going.

Envious of both you and the OP... Someday I'll be back in the saddle, and I can't wait for that. At my age, though, jumping is off the table. Dressage is something I'd like to attempt. Also, I figure I'd better begin putting money aside $$$!

Nice job putting in that effort—what a journey you've had! I bet you're feeling fantastic, and even though ranch chores are still tough as hell, they've got to be way more manageable these days.

You appear—and surely feel—amazing! To be honest, at your age you don't seem to have loose skin; it just looks completely typical. What a feat!

Dressage is what my daughter-in-law does, and wow, is that an expensive hobby. Put some money aside and climb back on a horse! Depending on the horse you wind up with, Cowboy Dressage and Ranch Riding classes are really big right now. These days I won't jump anything bigger than a tiny crossrail either, though I was raised competing in H/J classes.JordanSparks said:

Incredible job! I bet your comfort level has gone way up these days. And it shows in how you look.
Just wondering, what's written on your shirt in the after photo?

Amazing results, and kudos for dropping that initial 100lb solo before starting the GLP. Pushing consistently like that is far harder when your goal weight and better health are still a long way off. You've done awesome!
