Measurement tracking during the muscle-building phase catches the recomposition that the scale hides entirely.

Early discouragement on GLP-1s is common - the internal changes happen before the scale catches up. Non-scale indicators like energy, sleep, and appetite quality fill the gap while the number lags.

Collarbone as the endpoint marker is a valid call. Please do come back and share.

I'm thinking about sending some stuff to Janoshik, you know? I see them mentioned a lot. I like that some places publish COAs, but it makes sense to get a third party to check it out, right?

Glad to hear you're recovering well FidgetQueen! Have you thought about maybe going down a dose when you restart like inject-and-forget suggested? Might help ease back in.

Remember that your body needs extra calories to heal properly after major surgery. It goes into a hyper-metabolic state. If you usually have a lot of appetite suppression from the meds, you might want to wait to restart them.

I would love to lose around 50 lbs! I'm just starting, but this is so encouraging!

Wow, look at that defined shape! I can't wait to have a waist again, lol. Congratulations! You look incredible! Would you mind sharing what dosage you're on and for how long?

That's excellent! You look fantastic, and younger, and I bet you feel better too. I really appreciate people who post before and after pics. It keeps me motivated!

What's the paper towel effect?

You’re definitely getting back to yourself, that confidence boost is so apparent. My telehealth provider always said that mood improvements sometimes appear before the mirror shows changes.

You're such an inspiration! Congrats on your progress!

I'd believe it if you said that first picture was your grandma.

You look amazing!!! And congrats on the weight loss! Great job! I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction 3 years ago, and I love it! The swelling is a liar! Let it heal. Around week 4, you'll turn a corner! At 3 months, it gets better than you thought! In 6 months, you'll be strutting your stuff!

Not even sure if this is the same person or not, no disrespect but you never know on these posts. You can downvote me but I could be wrong.
