Yeah, I'm also trying to learn how to deal with that 'food noise' everyone talks about. Drinking water seems to help me too, like someone else mentioned on another thread. It's a good way to build healthy habits!

The study used mice with OA and thinks glp1 protects them by activating something in chondrocytes. If chondrocytes have glp1 receptors, then any drug that activates glp1 should activate the same thing and give the same benefits.

This study is awesome and has big implications. The big question is whether stopping glp1s makes you lose the benefits that aren't related to weight loss. If a follow-up study shows that, it could mean that glp1s should be a permanent treatment for osteoarthritis, even if you reach your weight...

I'm on a similar timeline: I had my first shot on 01/16 and was scheduled to take my first 0.5 shot this Friday. I haven't had any significant side effects so far, just occasional mild nausea that's been easy to manage (never threw up). I've lost around 12lbs. After reading comments here, I'm...

Thanks! I looked at the study again, and it wasn't the one I was thinking of. I need to find the article I was thinking about. I might have been thinking of OSA, not OA, but I thought it was both. I remember thinking that it wasn't surprising that losing weight would improve OSA and OA...

It's funny how these news places report on glp-1 stuff like it's brand new. The clinical study on sema and knee pain from OA came out a year and a half ago... https://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa2403664

I am so proud of you, you're doing amazing!!

Yes!!! Staying on the lowest dose that works is the best approach. Remember to lift weights. Sculpted vegan has good GLP-1 info

Holy moly! You must feel like you're walking on sunshine. And buying clothes must be so much fun now! I'd love to feel confident in my own skin. The last time I was tiny I was still a teenager and didn't appreciate it. I'd give anything to be a size two now

Did you weigh at the same time of day? What was going on before and after, like what you ate and drank and how you slept the night before?

Starting at 0.5mg might be too careful, could be hard to measure accurately, but it's up to you. Start low and only increase if you need to.

Congratulations!

Wow, this thread is so inspiring! I just started taking a GLP-1 and hope I have similar results. What do you eat in a normal day?

Wow, your post really hit home. The whole food addiction/emotional eating thing is something a lot of us struggle with, even if we don't talk about it. Losing your mom and seeing past progress disappear must've been incredibly difficult. It's amazing that this medication helped you feel normal...

For anyone looking for some light exercise, I really like these arm workouts. I'm 62, so nothing too hard! They only take about 10-15 minutes, so it's easy to fit them in if your schedule is busy. And they are standing so easy on your joints. I bought some light dumbells on Amazon to use...

You seem much younger without the beard. Maybe your mom is just used to seeing you with it and having trouble adjusting? You'll always be her son, I know, since I'm a senior citizen with adult kids. You look better clean-shaven so your wife's being truthful, she's the one seeing you every day.

Great job on all your tough work! You are so inspiring! Claudia_Way

You look amazing! I love the shaved face! I'm so sorry about your mom; I can't imagine.

Their opinions don't matter.

I will. I'm thinking it's probably just a little virus, like a mild cold, honestly.
