You've done an INCREDIBLE job!!!

That's fantastic. I wish you the best as you transition off Mounjaro, and if that doesn't work out, I hope you can find a way to get back on it.

I saw some reddit posts saying that Medicare might cover GLP-1s for obesity now. That would be amazing!

Those microneedles are likely using exosomes - the new big deal in skincare. I've seen people raving about similar products.

I don't have Crohn's personally but I know a couple people dealing with colitis, including someone who was on sema and had to take prednisone for a flare. Their doctor told them to pause the sema because the drugs might interact, and sema could just be ineffective while on pred anyway. Plus all...

Gallbladder issues can sometimes arise with rapid weight loss, regardless of the method. Just something to be aware of!

Great work!

That's fantastic, and you look great! We need more stories like this, so people don't think it's a drug you have to take forever. Pharma wants you to think that! Here's an article on people who have continued to maintain after stopping semaglutide...

I saw a thread on Reddit about someone feeling confident enough to finally join a gym after losing weight. It said they focused on diet and a GLP-1 for most of their journey. It's sad that people feel judged for their appearance at the gym. I wish gyms would ban video recording. Huge success to...

Everyone has given amazing ideas. If you have a Five Below nearby, they sell resistance bands for five bucks. A set of three with handles. Entry-level but good for starting out. I got a set last month. They also sell hand weights and medicine balls. Check the right side of the store, halfway back 👍

Macro_Queen I'm always learning new stuff from your comments. Your posts always make my day. 🙂

You're such a rebel, Nicky51... 😉

I heard that Novo Nordisk's patent protection on Semaglutide will expire sometime in the next couple of years. I'm curious to know how many different cut-rate versions are being prepared for release at that point.

I'm so glad I took before and after pics. It really helps to see the progress when you don't notice day to day. It's like that Reddit post about losing 80lbs - you don't see it until you compare: it's crazy how when you losing weight you don't see the difference in yourself until you do a side...

You looked amazing before, too! I'm sure you feel much healthier now. Well done.

Fantastic progress!
