Congratulations, and Happy Birthday 🎊🎉🎁🎈!

This is a really important point. The GLP-1 meds help with appetite suppression and blood sugar, but they don't directly cause muscle loss. It's all about diet and exercise.

If you lose a lot of weight quickly, you're definitely going to lose some muscle. Eat plenty of protein and keep up with your strength training to minimize muscle loss.

Definitely a possibility. Early fatigue is pretty typical as your body adjusts to lower food intake and blood sugar fluctuations. I log my protein and water intake using a health app to prevent undereating without even realizing it. If it gets really bad or doesn't improve, you should talk to...

Congrats and best of luck as you continue!

Increased protein intake and consistent strength training are key. Beyond that, try not to obsess. As you slim down, your muscle needs decrease. If feasible, consider getting a DEXA scan periodically to accurately track your body composition.

Fantastic! 🎉🎉🎉👍🍀🍀🍀

I don't think it's so much a complete *loss* of taste, more like the reward system in the brain is dialed down, and maybe our sensitivity to overly sweet stuff goes up. At least that's how it's been for me.

I agree with Dosexo. It's incredibly valuable to see transformations from individuals with diverse body types. These examples serve as a potent source of motivation for others who may share similar physiques and weight distribution patterns. Keep up the outstanding progress!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Losing seventy pounds over ten months is really impressive. The change in your pictures is clear, and you seem much more confident. Posts like these really show what consistent effort can achieve. Would you mind if I shared this on the community? It's a community where people share their GLP1...

Thank you so much! I love the support here.

Even before Reta, I was doing intermittent fasting where I'd eat two meals a day plus a small protein snack (like cottage cheese with berries, chia seeds, carrots with hummus, a Greek yogurt smoothie, or an apple with nut butter). I switched to a Mediterranean-style diet in 2021 after my...

Well done. You're smashing it!

Started on tirzepatide back in March because my blood sugar was creeping up (and yeah, I was also done with being too heavy). I started around 175 lbs, and now I'm down to 130. I never went above 7.5mg injections and now I'm just staying on 5mg. I try to get some exercise and eat pretty well...

Don't get discouraged, WildLife. Sometimes you need to adjust the dosage or even switch medications. Talk to your doctor about your options.

Good job 😍

Way to go!

I hear you Cut_Grind. It's good to be cautious. Janoshik Analytics is a place a lot of people recommend for testing. It costs money, but it gives you peace of mind. If you post the results, the vendor might give you store credit or free products as well!

What's the expense?
