Congrats, great job!!

I don't think Anela knows what she's talking about. Anyone can make a peptide blend and promote it online. I also don't agree with the 5 on 2 off schedule. How would 2 days off reverse 5 days worth of gains? And what about all the other active ingredients in GLOW/KLOW? This peptide stuff is a...

Someone sell me some sugar pills and tell me it'll turn me into Captain America!

CONGRATS - It really makes all the side effects worth it when you hit a milestone :)

Cough, cough, placebo!

Congratulations on your progress, Metabolic_Mandy! I agree that these meds can be life-changing. To echo what Morgan1979 asked, is there anything specific about your diet or exercise routine that you think has helped with your success?

Congrats! I just started my injections last week. Which app is that?

5 on 2 off makes your kit last longer, like a years supply with a vacation.

You look like a completely different person! Amazing!

You're doing a great job. You should be very proud, keep it up!

Interesting about the CKM, Alex_33. Sounds useful for managing more than just diabetes.

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the kind words and support so much! It makes a huge difference to have people understand what this is like.

I've had a good experience with ketones. I use them during my marathon training. I have my protein shake after my workout and then the ketones 10 minutes after. I'm noticeably less sore the next day than I would be otherwise. I save them for my hardest workouts of the week like speed work and my...

I have ME/CFS in addition to some insulin resistance, and I've actually noticed a boost in my energy levels since starting Ozempic. It's still early days, but even a small improvement is huge. Maybe it's related to reduced inflammation? Has anyone else with chronic fatigue seen similar effects?

Congrats!!

I did the same thing but ended up shedding like 300lbs last week. Totally recommend it!

GOAL! I've finally made it to my target weight!! Actually, this is my SECOND goal. The first was 155 pounds, which got me into a healthy BMI for the first time ever! I never truly thought I'd get there when I started, but with the help of this med, I started to believe it more and more. I then...

Speaking of longer term use, remember that lifestyle changes are key. The meds can help, but diet and exercise are still important for sustained weight management and overall health.

Medical perspective here - excellent overview. One thing I'd add: significant calorie restriction alone can lower thyroid conversion (T4 to T3) and alter cortisol patterns, which can absolutely affect mood and energy. I see patients blame the drug when they are simply under-fueling. Strongly...

Great progress!!! Yes, keep going!
