Fantastic progress! Keep it up!

I think it's great you're seeing progress, Food_xo. But for anyone else reading, don't get discouraged if your loss is slower. Some people lose about a pound a week, and that's still a great, healthy pace. It's not a race, and slow and steady is often better for long-term success. Also less...

You look incredible!

Wow! That's amazing progress. You look incredibly happy and healthy 😊

Heart_Queen that is a very good question about a dexa scan, and also, LightCookie, did they tell you which specific biomarkers they measured?

I'll definitely keep you all updated. I'm going to stop the NAD+ for a week and see if my glucose levels stabilize. If so, I'll know it was the NAD+. Thanks for the suggestions and the article link!

Great info, DosePal. Thanks!

I'm a type 2 diabetic. I've been using tirzepatide and a CGM to manage my blood sugar for about three quarters of a year now. I started on NAD+ supplements maybe a week and a half ago. Since then, my blood sugar has been more unpredictable. I didn't put two and two together until this morning...

It took me a whole year to only lose about 30 pounds. You are losing weight at an extremely accelerated rate.

Contemporary HIV medications from around 2010 onward don't cause the fat issue. Research is limited because the target demographic is small: individuals with HIV who used older medications (20-30 years ago) that caused this, not newer infections.

Uh, you dropped almost 30 pounds in 6 weeks? That's not a slow loss. That's actually pretty quick, especially considering you didn't start at a super high weight.

I'm interested in the concerns surrounding Tesamorelin. My review of Egrifta's research indicates it primarily impacts visceral fat, not subcutaneous fat. We're talking deep abdominal fat, not the jiggly stuff. If you don't have that kind of fat, why target it?

So true! And thanks for the encouragement. It's helpful to hear from people further along the path.

Thanks everyone!

It's been about a year since I kicked things off, and I'm down 88 lbs thanks to semaglutide playing a big role in starting. I'm also using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to better understand how different foods impact my body. Staying hydrated and getting in light exercise like walks and...
