174 to 145 is one of those transitions where the number crosses into a different category of how the body feels to carry around - the last 10 to 135 tend to feel like they take the longest even as the pace stays consistent.
I feel that! I've dropped about 45 pounds and sometimes I still grab clothes that are way too big for me because I don't think I'll fit into the right size.
Yeah, I've been off for about 2 months and I've gained weight. It's been up and down, like a 7-8 pound swing. It's really discouraging. I can restart my GLP-1 after my procedure at the end of the month, thankfully.
Has anyone used sermorelin to help build muscle while losing weight? I'm trying to drop some fat but also want to maintain as much muscle as possible. I saw someone mention it helped them on their weight loss journey.
This might be a dumb question but when you say prioritize protein, how much are we talking? I am 220 lbs and trying to lose. I feel full fast on my injections and sometimes barely hit 60g a day.
I have never lifted before so that part scares me.
Thanks for all the advice! I'm definitely going to focus on building muscle and maintaining a healthy diet. I think tapering slowly is the way to go for me.
How long have you been in maintenance? I've been trying to maintain for about a year, but even with a lower dose or spacing out the injections, I can't seem to keep the weight off. I just get super hungry again so fast.
Hey everyone! I've finally reached my weight goal using semaglutide. I'm really happy, but also a little unsure about what to do next. How have others managed this maintenance phase? Any tips or experiences you can share?
