    Anyone else feel weird about the comments on their weight loss? It's not like people are being mean, just saying stuff like "you look so different!" or "wow, you're half the man you used to be!" and idk, it's making me feel more awkward than happy.

    My A1c miracle!

    A word of caution: health issues regarding weight can be complex. I've been on 2mg of a GLP-1 med for almost 3 years due to really elevated glucose levels.
