^^^ Ditto. Wait until Wednesday.

That's amazing! It's great to see others having success too. How's your A1C?

Thanks, you look great!

Type 2, insulin user, age 56, 5'5". Started at 207lbs, now 145lbs. A1C went from 9.3 to 6.2. Started on point25mg of a GLP-1 med in Sept '23, for 4 months, now on point50mg for 11 months. Might go back to point25mg later. Was on insulin for 23 years, but I've been off it now for 15 months! Same...

I agree with Blair66, it's about changing your trajectory for the long term. Don't focus on chasing a number, focus on your health!

Wow! You look like a completely different person! That's fantastic!

As a healthcare professional, I'm glad to see people having success with these medications. Obesity is a serious chronic condition, and it's important to treat it as such.

Way to go! Incredible progress! You look amazing! Congratulations on your success!

Spectacular outcome!

All these suggestions are great! I have a question for those who have been weight training for a long time... I swam competitively for years, so I had a coach to create workouts and guide me. Strength training is another beast. I gained weight due to life stuff, and couldn't lose it. GLP-1s...

Yeah, like Peptide_Taco said, some are okay pre-mixed, some not so much. I'd def reach out to the pharmacy to confirm. Play it safe!

Hey Bear! Okay, so let's say you add 7.5mL of sterile water to that 15mg vial. That means 1mL equals 2000mcg, 0.5mL equals 1000mcg, and 0.05mL equals 100mcg. Now, 0.05mL can be tricky to measure accurately with a regular 1mL syringe. An insulin syringe might be easier. Just my two cents!

Maybe start at a low-cost gym where someone can show you the ropes. Places like Planet Fitness are cheap, so it's not a huge loss if you don't go often. You might find you hate gyms and prefer the outdoors like I did for a while! Running shoes and bodyweight exercises are way cheaper...

Yeah, source matters. I've heard good things about a particular compounding pharmacy. They supposedly have good prices and offer 10ml vials, so you don't have to refill as often.

Haha, Peptide_Taco, I'm open to custom requests! 💩📖

Hey everybody! Back at it again. I've been messing around with some updated color schemes for my tracking journals! It’s almost impossible to stick to just one, I keep wanting to start over with a different style. LOL. I can now track my weekly protocol for up to 2 years! 📖💉 My Pep Planner

Biggest misses so far*

Just another problem to solve, right?

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. It really does help when people are supportive. I wish I had started this sooner. I feel so much better.

First, congrats on your progress! Second, if someone is rude enough to comment, a sharp, "Excuse me?!" followed by silence usually stops them. Peptide_Hustle68, I'm down 70lbs and thrilled. Off my diabetes meds too!
