Hello, I’m Johannes, 46 years old, a salon owner from Hamburg – and, if I’m honest, a master at starting diets and giving them up again. Perhaps you know the feeling: the constant ups and downs, the feeling of never quite finding the right path, and that paralyzing fear that things will never change. But then I discovered SoLean – and with it began a journey that is turning my life completely upside down.
I would like to take you along on my journey. There will be an update here quite regularly, in which I share what I experience, how I make progress (or sometimes cope with setbacks), and how I managed to feel like a completely new person in just two months.
The Decision: Putting an end to the yo-yo effect!
Exactly two months ago, I stood on the scale and saw the number: 140 kilograms. The highest I had ever seen. I knew then: things couldn't go on like this. I had tried everything – therapeutic fasting, intermittent fasting, eating half portions; I’m sure you get the idea. But none of it worked long-term. It was always the same: a bit of success, then a return to old habits, and in the end, even more frustration than before.
One evening, I stumbled across SoLean. The idea of medical support through the Mounjaro weight loss injection, combined with nutritional counseling and a structured plan, sounded like exactly what I needed. I was skeptical nonetheless – but I told myself: “Why not? What do I have to lose?”
The Start: My first week with SoLean
With my first shipment from SoLean, I received my starting dosage. To be honest, I was nervous. Giving myself an injection? But don’t worry – the instructions from SoLean are so clear and simple that I felt safe immediately. The first application went faster than I had thought. And the best part? I had zero side effects, just a small spot that tingled for a moment.
Following that, I spoke on the phone with Simone, the SoLean nutritionist. What a lovely person! She didn't overwhelm me with jargon, but instead gave me very concrete tips on how to adjust my diet – step by step. I found her suggestion to try out recipes that fit perfectly into my program particularly exciting.
Initial Success: Things are happening!
One week after my first injection, I stood on the scale again. And what can I say? 2.5 kilos lighter. I wanted to dance for joy (which I actually did a little bit later). It was a feeling I hadn't had for a long time: genuine motivation. Not just the number on the scale, but also the fact that I already felt better physically.
Over the following weeks, it continued just the same. I stuck to the recipes, went for walks more often in the evenings, and noticed how the Mounjaro injection helped me have less of an appetite. It didn’t feel like deprivation – more like a fresh start. And with every kilo that dropped, I got closer to my big goal: finally getting back under that magical 100-kilogram mark!
The Goal: Old clothes, a new zest for life
Perhaps you know it: that one drawer or box in the closet containing the old pants and t-shirts you wore back when you were still slimmer. I have exactly that – and my dream is to soon fit back into my favorite jeans from ten years ago. Every week, when I notice that a shirt sits a bit looser or I can tighten my belt another notch, I feel this incredible satisfaction. It’s these small but significant successes that remind me why I’m doing all of this.
The feeling of exercising again
Do you know what the absolute highlight was for me? After about four weeks, I thought about exercising again for the first time. Seriously. I bought new running shoes and went jogging for the first time in years. Sure, I didn't run a half-marathon right away, but the feeling of being in motion again alone was indescribable.
What to expect in my video diary
I could go on for hours, but I don’t want to overload you. In my video diary, you will see how things progress for me every week – my successes, my challenges, and everything in between. Perhaps it will inspire you to take the step yourself if you recognize yourself in my story.
And honestly: If I can do it, so can you. Let’s tackle this together!
See you next week,
Your Johannes 🎥
