Worth trying mag citrate split - half morning, half evening rather than all at night. Full dose at once gave me cramps. Splitting it smoothed things out a lot. Bioptimers mag breakthrough worked well for me.
I agree with TrimSis about setting small goals. Don't try to overhaul everything overnight. Start with something manageable and build from there. Consistency is key!
Try reformer Pilates! It's a solid workout that doesn't make my heart race or breathing heavy. It's designed for all fitness levels. I appreciate the mind/body connection aspect of it. It's helped me transition to more traditional strength training too. Focusing on my body keeps me engaged...
This is a really inspiring update. I can tell how much better things have been for you, and it's coming through in your words. The difference in your photos is really noticeable, too; you look lighter in spirit as well as body. Updates like these can really help those just getting started. Would...
Don't get discouraged so early! It's only been 3 weeks. Focus on getting your body used to the meds. You can always add exercise later, you don't have to be an Olympic athlete right away, lol.
I'VE BEEN ON GLP1S SINCE 2013
I've been on all of them since 2013. I've never hit my goal weight, but I've maintained a 80-95lb loss for years, which is about a third of my starting weight. My obesity specialist thinks that's a huge win and says your body will do what it does; you can't always...
Hey to the OG members of this little corner of the internet! This forum has been super helpful for so many. Hoping this thread can do the same for you. I took a break earlier this year, and it brought my dose way down. It was somewhat helpful, and I played around during this break with upping my...
It's interesting how these meds change people's perception. It challenges the idea that obesity is a personal failing or lack of willpower. People see those on GLP-1s eating normally, realizing it's often a treatable health issue. It's like GLP-1s aren’t cheating - they’re treating.
You look awesome. You even still maintained a 🍑! I'm jealous!
For maintenance, my doc filled my prescription (Wegovy) for a year. He's letting me control how maintenance goes. Once I hit my goal, I'll slowly space out injections and watch my weight. I don't see myself going off semaglutide...
I'm planning to be on it for life. I hit the gym almost every day. I prioritize protein, fruits, and veggies. And I enjoy whatever I want, but I don't go overboard. I might lower my dose occasionally or increase it as needed. I'm not against weaning off if that's what it takes to keep it...
