Thank you for asking! On the scale, just a little bit, but people comment positively on my shape, saying that I must have lost weight. In reality, just a little in terms of numbers, but my musculature must have tightened in the right places to give the impression of weight loss. And I am quite happy about this. Clothes fit better. What else can I ask for?

On Tuesday, I will take the highest dosage Mounjaro, upping from 12.5 to 15 mg. In the past the insurance would not approve 15 mg but this year it did. I cannot wait to see if that helps me lose some more weight. In the meantime, will continue exercising. At the yoga studio, there is a couple, woman and man, who come very often. I think the man attends the studio 6 times a week - different classes. They know me by name and the yoga teacher does, too. She asks how I am doing, remembers that I had iron deficiency and then skipped several months due to injury, and asks how the recovery goes. And there are some other regulars whom I do not yet know by name but know enough to look forward to each new class. It does feel nice to be greeted by people who care. What we have on this thread but IRL. And it is a Friday evening class, so it is a very good way to transition from the work week to the weekend. Makes exercise pleasant which is not unimportant.
