Creatine plus GLP-1 is low-risk - the muscle benefit compounds with protein.

The systemic question is the right one - injectable peptides circulate rather than targeting one spot, so whatever effect shows up for scalp could theoretically appear anywhere else that responds to the same signal. The body hair consideration is real and underrepresented in the usual answers on...

Six months from a mild stroke at 42 to seeing a 1 on the scale is the kind of result that reframes what these medications actually do - the metabolic work happening alongside the weight loss is the more important number.

I was weighing myself weekly and it made me crazy! Now aiming for daily weigh-ins. Helps see the trends better and not freak out over small fluctuations. You gotta weigh yourself at the same time every day, after you pee, and with as little clothing as possible!

Quick question for you Fit-Tale: Did you happen to start going to the gym when you started the GLP-1 meds? If so, you could be gaining muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. You might be changing your body composition. What's your routine like?

I'm sorry about the copy/paste.

More impressive is that you've got your life together enough to buy clothes when you need them. I only notice when my clothes are way too big, and by then I look silly.

I wish I'd bought stuff to show my progress. I started getting things from thrift stores 'cause constantly buying new got pricey. Size 24W to 4P over here.

Good question Terry2008! Yes. That is one of the harder aspects to deal with but I am looking into body contouring now.

Thanks all! I appreciate the kind words.

Been on a GLP-1 med for about two years now. Almost at my goal, just need to lay off the fries. Feeling so much better after dropping from 260 to 175. Ten years ago versus now? No comparison. At 50, I'm in the best shape ever. I'm even thinking about entering a grappling tournament! Stay the...

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what was your total weight loss over those 2 years? I'm fighting a plateau right now.
