To Lab_Mouse_4421: I did start tracking calories more closely, and I aim for a high-protein diet. I also try to get in at least 30 minutes of walking most days, and I've started incorporating some light weightlifting a couple of times a week.

It's been quite the adventure, and there were many moments I wanted to throw in the towel. I'd have weeks where the scale wouldn't budge, or even creep up a bit, and plateaus that lasted for what felt like forever. But I stuck with it, and today I'm celebrating officially crossing the 50-pound mark!

That's a real thing. It takes time for your brain to adjust. Keep buying smaller clothes – it helps!

That's awesome! You've had great results. A word of caution though: consider adding some squats and lunges to your routine. GLP-1s can reduce muscle mass in your glutes and legs, which becomes more important as you age.

Thanks all for the kind words! I'm feeling good and the blood tests are showing improvements across the board.

Thanks all! And, yeah, I love my kitty.

Years ago, my doctor literally asked if I realized how overweight I was. I confirmed that I did. He then asked if I *really* understood, and again, I said yes. Then he asked me to describe my level of fatness. Docs are weird.

For those of you who have lost weight, did you notice people treating you differently? I've found that strangers are much nicer now!

It stopped working after 6-8 months. I just switched to Mounjaro, and that seems to be effective for me now.

I've been on Ozempic for type 2 diabetes for almost half a decade now. At first, I shed around 15 pounds, but I've gained back all of that and then some. The only side effect I'm still experiencing is some indigestion if I eat anything after dinner. I don't notice any of the benefits anymore. I...

You look amazing!!! What's your maintenance dosage amount, if you don't mind sharing?

Great results – good job putting in the work! I thought maintenance meant going to a very low dose, still taking the shot once a week. Did you get advice from a professional?

175 mcg per day. go slow and ramp up. everyone is different. i can take it ok.

i dig it. wanna get more. makes me horny.

I've been reading up on ways to boost your immune system while on these medications. Ensuring you're getting adequate Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, Selenium, and Magnesium may be beneficial. Some people even ramp up their Vitamin C intake when they feel an illness coming on.

🤣 Some calculators are like that. I think I got like .02 units when I started!
