Fantastic work improving your A1C! That makes a huge difference for long-term health.

I am consuming around 1400 calories a day, focusing on high-protein meals. I also try to drink at least 3 liters of water daily. As for exercise, I aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days of the week. This can include brisk walking, swimming, cycling, or dancing!

You are doing great. Keep monitoring those A1C levels!

I echo your feelings about this medication. It's like a miracle, fixing something fundamental in my brain. I'm feeling braver and generally happier. In just under 10 weeks, my health has improved immensely. I'm currently down around 25 lbs. I've started a belly dancing class, and I'm exercising...

Keep up the amazing work! 🎉🎉🎉

I started Wegovy January 3rd last year, and it's hard to believe I'm already a year in and about 40 kgs lighter! (I'm female, 33, 5'6). It's been truly life-changing. I've always struggled with maintaining a calorie deficit, constantly battling cravings and feeling like I was failing. But Wegovy...

It's important to remember that weight loss can plateau, even with medication. Building muscle through exercise can also influence the scale, as muscle is denser than fat. Focusing on body measurements like waist circumference can be a more accurate reflection of progress in those cases.

You look fantastic! Could you share what your diet's like?

I think it's important to remember the 'For Research Only' label on many of these products. It suggests they aren't guaranteed to be 100% pure or what we think they are.

Thanks for posting! Looks like they aren't skimping on the fill levels.

What exactly occurs....are you being sarcastic?

So inspired by your progress!

It's amazing how these meds can change lives. I've seen people go from A1C of 12 to 5.4, and even cure sleep apnea! Congrats to everyone on their journeys.

Congrats, looking good 👏🏼

How long did it take to get to 120? Did you exercise? I started around 170 and I'm currently at 145, with 130 as my goal.

It IS wild how some folks react when they find out you're using medication as part of a larger strategy to manage a health condition that was hurting your quality of life and shortening your lifespan.

Thank you for organizing this so clearly. I want to gently reinforce one point: As someone in healthcare, I have already seen patients assume this class of medication "treats alcoholism." We do not yet have long-term randomized data proving sustained remission of alcohol use disorder after...

I completely relate to that feeling! I avoided being in photos for years. It's a great feeling to finally feel comfortable seeing yourself. Congrats! I think it's great you are acknowledging your progress. It's healthy!

I've been considering switching from semaglutide. Has anyone had a better experience with tirzepatide or vice-versa?
