You're doing great! My advice, especially with the goal in sight, is to start exercising NOW if you aren't already. Particularly weight-bearing exercises. You need to build that muscle to prevent losing it. I'm maintaining my weight now but I've lost some muscle and have loose skin. If I had...

Seriously, you look at least 20 years younger!

Whoa 🤩 You appear at least a decade younger and extremely attractive! 😍

Grandparent turns back into Parent! Is science magic?

It's great to see more people focusing on fitness instead of just weight loss. Building muscle is so important for overall health! Keep up the fantastic progress!

Fantastic job!! 🥰

Yes, being cold all the time is a super common side effect. It could be the meds, the calorie deficit, or just losing some insulation... possibly all of the above!

I can totally relate. I didn’t feel a thing until I hit 1.7mg. It was like my body just ignored the lower doses. I’m at 2.0mg now, and the appetite suppression is there, but like you said, it barely lasts a day or two. Then it’s back to normal cravings and food noise. It's super frustrating.

That's the problem, isn't it? Access and affordability. But everyone needs to be super careful with the compounded stuff. There are some big concerns about safety and quality compared to the FDA-approved meds. The Obesity Society had a whole meeting about it.

Weird. I was on compounded Red Rock for the first couple of months and it worked great for me. But everyone is different, I guess.

I call it Ozembrakes. It puts the brakes on all the bad stuff.

What an incredible change! I love that you're emphasizing commitment and good food and activity choices. Congrats on all of your accomplishments. I am sure you feel incredible, and you look fantastic!

Yep, same for me. I'm never going off this stuff.

For folks doing strength training, remember that can really help with body composition during weight loss. It's great you're already doing that! Muscle burns more calories at rest, and it can help minimize muscle loss while on GLP-1s.

I can relate to so much of what you wrote. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sure your experience will motivate others. Bravo for taking such a significant step! Your results are amazing! Congratulations and keep up the great work.

Bobby45 It might be worth talking to your doctor about increasing your dosage if you're still feeling hungry on 1mg. Everyone's different, and you might need a higher dose to get the full effect. Also, focus on protein and fiber to help you feel fuller longer! Good luck – you CAN do this!

Bobby45 Thanks! The side effects weren't too bad. I got a little nauseous at first, but it went away after a few weeks. Just make sure to stay hydrated and eat small meals.

Just a heads-up, you might want to budget for some new clothes down the road. All those savings might disappear into a new wardrobe!

That's amazing progress!! 🤩 I've noticed the rate slows as you near your goal weight. I'm currently at your starting weight of 166 (down from 233), and the loss is definitely slowing. Keep it up! Slowly but surely! 🙌
