A stone down since April with protein focus plus the swim/run/strength combination is holding lean mass better than most single-modality approaches on Mounjaro.

The fear of disclosure usually comes down to not wanting failure to go public - keeping it private is a completely reasonable choice that has nothing to do with legitimacy. Managing your own expectations is enough without adding everyone else's.

PCOS food noise responding to GLP-1s is consistent - insulin sensitivity and appetite regulation address the same underlying mechanism.

Related to that, on a Reddit thread, someone said they'd dropped like, 60 pounds on Ozempic, stalled, then switched to Mounjaro and lost another 30! Sounds promising for those of us who might plateau.

I wasn't on anything new to begin with.

I started with 1.5mg and definitely noticed a difference. Stayed there for about 3 weeks before bumping up to 2mg. It's been 5 weeks total. I like how my body is responding to the lower doses and gradually increasing. Not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited about this!

Hey everyone! Some of you might remember my earlier thread: another forum Just wanted to share an update. I've managed to drop another 30lbs! I'm only about 10lbs away from my original goal weight (240), but honestly, looking in the mirror, I think I want to lose even more. Maybe shoot for 220...
