The digital scale gap matters most on slow months - 2 pounds is the kind of number where precision counts.

The LBM preservation question on GLP-1s is real - protein intake and resistance training slow the loss that comes with large deficits but don't fully prevent it. Exercise as a weight loss tool isn't the right frame; it's better understood as metabolic health and LBM defense during restriction.

Running both together makes it hard to know which is doing what.

Congrats on losing weight. I am in my third week on 2.5 and starting to feel that my food noise is going away. It was still there the first two weeks. Appetite suppression was not strong either. I am losing 2-3 pounds per week and I think the first 10-15 pounds will be water weight plus some...

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm starting soon! ❤️

I'm convinced the universe has favorites.

Post your question here! I'd like to read the responses too. 🙂

How do you even go from a 9 to a 12?!?

What does your workout schedule look like? I'm trying to find something that helps me stay on track.

Congrats. Salad_xo Do you do intermittent fasting? Any specific exercise routine to boost that metabolism? Just curious, thanks.
