Thanks everyone! Brook I'm in my late 30s. Are you incorporating any strength training? I've heard that can help with skin elasticity.

It's been a year today since I started this journey. I've been hitting the gym for about 16 weeks, and while the weight's coming off a bit slower now (around half a pound each week), my clothes are definitely fitting better, especially in the shoulders. I'm curious to see what the next year brings!

I'm also researching other peptides, has anyone here tried PT-141? I've read it can help with energy, but also with libido. I'm curious about the side effects, though. I saw someone mention nausea and muscle soreness. That's a potential deal breaker for me!

So important! I'd also suggest journaling about things you didn't do before because of your weight and start exploring those now.

Consider yourself lucky, maybe? I'm getting ready to start researching KLOW as well, so I'm following all the reports closely! I picked KLOW hoping the KPV would cut down on the pain/redness/injection site reaction compared to GLOW. I've also heard that longer needles (like 8mm or more) can...

You look fantastic, radiant, and energized! You're an inspiration.

Hi everyone! I'm back with an update. It's officially been two years since I started a GLP-1. I'll try to cover the most common topics I've seen here. STATS: I'm 5'2". Started Wegovy Aug 20, 2023, at 32 years old. Goal weight was achieved by April 2025. Now in maintenance, fluctuating between...

Fantastic progress!

As someone in healthcare, I want to strongly reinforce the section on when to seek medical care. High fever, severe abdominal pain, and inability to keep fluids down for multiple days are not "tough it out" situations. Dehydration alone can become dangerous quickly. I would also caution...

Started yesterday... totally get how you're feeling.

Good luck! Seriously, there's no such thing as a stupid question, especially when it comes to these meds.

Thanks Lift_Bro for the info!

Congratulations! That's fantastic. I'm curious how you met the medical requirements to get it covered by your insurance?

Wonderful achievement! Has there been any issues with excess skin after that weight loss?

This is exactly what this medication is for, when it's used for weight reduction or metabolic issues. Congratulations. You look wonderful.

That's amazing! You have a great future ahead of you. Love the dress in your 'after' pic!

Incredible progress! I wish I could drop 50 lbs in 4 months. I would hit my target weight then!

For those who have successfully tapered off GLP-1s, how did you manage the appetite rebound? Did you find any specific strategies particularly helpful?

Like others have said, it's about calories in vs calories out. If you've managed to change your eating habits while on the medication, you have a better chance of keeping the weight off. It's not a given, but it's possible!
