I’ve come a long way since I first started this topic, when I began my weight loss journey back in May! (first posted about it here in July). I last posted about it here in September where I described how it all works.
I’ve been busy working on it and posting a lot about it in my Facebook group here (which I purposely kept small at the time I created it). I may open it up to more as it’s been only a few of us posting. I decided to post myself regardless of anyone else posting or not. Then it would be a place where I document my journey, if nothing else.
I also became active on TikTok (after resisting it for years). That’s where I found the most support and camaraderie. Also where I have learned SO much more about the medication I’m using (Mounjaro), as a miraculous tool in this journey. There are a LOT of us (believers in Jesus) on there too. My need for support and information (I couldn’t find on Facebook without a TON of spam and ads in all the groups I joined) is what led me to look on TikTok.
I’m down 61 pounds since May, and 204 pounds down from my very highest weight ever.
I was SO crazy excited when I hit the 200 pounds off mark last week!
I need to take new pictures, as this most recent one is from July and I’ve lost 34 pounds since then (after a huge plateau after this picture). In the meantime:
I think I’ll start posting my TikTok videos on YouTube as well and perhaps linking them here on the blog. I know a lot of my followers resist TikTok as I did for so long.
One exciting thing just happened a few days ago. After MONTHS of trying to get accepted to become a TikTok shop affiliate, I was FINALLY accepted into the program! What this means is that I can promote products from their shop. With every purchase my video leads to, I can make a commission.
As many of you who have followed me for any length of time is aware, my son and I are just barely getting by. Paycheck to paycheck and then pretty tightly.
Successful affiliate work would make a HUGE impact for us! I would definitely appreciate your prayers for my efforts with that!
