    GLP-1 Muscle Loss: Should We Worry?

    I think what Green-FWIW is saying makes a lot of sense. Functionality is key. I can walk further and faster at this weight even if I'm not as "strong" in some abstract sense.

    Restarting GLP-1s: Anyone else?

    It's interesting to hear about people stopping and restarting. I wonder how many people are using these meds for long-term maintenance, not just weight loss. It seems like once you stop, the weight can come back pretty easily.

    Restarting GLP-1s: Anyone else?

    I'm literally in the same boat! I started in early 2023 and took it for about 10 months, but had to quit because of the cost. I just restarted this week. Still paying out of pocket for now, but hoping generics will help soon.

    Reta killing my sex drive?

    I've been looking into Reta as an option to help with fat loss as I get older. I'm in my late 50s and it's getting harder. I read that it works synergistically with TRT and growth hormone secretagogues, which is interesting since I am on TRT. I'll keep researching! Thanks for all the info everyone.

    Reta killing my sex drive?

    It could be related to high cortisol. Are you doing resistance training and eating properly? And if you don't mind me asking, what's your age and gender?

    I'm off Ozempic!

    You're looking fantastic. I started in September '23 and have only managed to lose around 17 pounds. Seems like I'm not responding to it as well.

    Down 35lbs since summer!

    I started on Oz at the start of July, and according to my scale I'm no longer considered 'obese'! So thrilled! 🤗 Looking at some before/after shots (sorry if that's too much 🫣), the difference might not be super obvious (still got a ways to go!), but in regular photos it's night and day. I feel...
