Wow, what a transformation! Fantastic work!

Huge congrats! Amazing work. Fingers crossed for continued success!

Thanks! It felt amazing. I'm hoping this is the last time I ever see a 2 at the beginning of my weight again.

Thanks, everyone. I'll focus on tracking and exercise and see if it makes a difference. I guess I was hoping for a miracle, haha.

I've seen quite a few people online talking about how restrictive diets like OMAD might not be the best long-term. It might be tough to get all the nutrients you need in just one sitting.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm aiming for a calorie deficit, but maybe I'm not being strict enough about tracking. And I should definitely try to move more, Dakota1976. I didn't realize how many steps you were taking. That's amazing!

I can relate. I've gone from 350 to 197. Keto got me most of the way there, but it seemed to slow down after a couple of years when I was at 207. Stopped and gained back to 245. After a couple of years, started Zepbound and finally hit the 100s last week! It's amazing what you can do when...

I'm going to give it a shot! Thank you!

Refill the pen, never the cartridge! If you're going to use something every day for a month, you should probably filter it. That's a whole other topic, but there are vids and such for it. There are tons of places to look for pens. You'll find lots of discussion here. What's available and...

The patent is expiring soon! Generic equivalents should enter the market shortly, cutting prices by 50% maybe.

It's vital to transition patients off GLP-1s carefully, particularly those with a history of disordered eating. We need to monitor body composition, not just weight, and address any psychological issues that may arise. Muscle loss is a real concern.

I spend $350 each month for a 4mg pen using a coupon. Breaking it down, that's about $55 weekly. I think I'm actually saving money, considering I buy less food and fast food now. I used to spend at least $100 a week on takeout.
