I'm 60 and dropped from 202 to 172 in three months. Still got some belly and love handles but at least they're shrinking and I'm building muscle back. The tennis crowd doesn't really notice though, which is interesting.

Jay Campbell gives off used car salesman energy. Even when complimenting you, you're left checking your credit report afterward. His whole 'trust me' pitch sounds like it comes with a limited warranty attached. I'd take advice from solid people here on the forum over him any day.

That's basically why I stick to higher dose. Haven't found solid research-based proof lower ones work. Lots of sources still suggest higher, no known bad effects. If I'm going through the effort and cost, want to be sure I'm getting full benefit.

The coldness never went away for me either even after so long on it. Hot showers help a bit but not much. Weird side effect that just stays with you. Though I grew up hating heat anyway so maybe it's not the worst thing.

Hit my goal at 10mg in one year—lost 50 lbs, waist went from 38 to 34 inches. A1C is 5.4, all labs look good. But I've lost muscle and I'm borderline anemic now. Wife wants me on maintenance. What's the best way to step down? Should I go back to 7.5?

Ha, funny thing, came across your screenshot elsewhere on the forum and put together my own version afterward, mine's tracked in kilos though.
Seriously impressive work! Congrats! Planning to hold at 5 for as long as it keeps working since I've still got roughly 30-35 kilos to go before figuring out maintenance. Once I've dropped a bit more, around 6 kilos in six weeks so far, I want to start an actual training program to build up my confidence further.

Wow, how are you dropping that much? Working out to just over a kilo weekly, which honestly runs a bit high.
Also sitting at a 500 calorie deficit myself, but I suppose I'm 'just' walking for exercise. Are you actually training at a gym?
