Down a lot, feeling great!

[Sub_Guy719]

My journey:

Started July '24 at 278.6 lbs

As of late Aug '25: 178.6 lbs

A1C dropped from 6.3 to 5.4

Cholesterol from 288 to 188!

No more BP meds!

Pants went from size 20 to 10/12

Tops went from 2x to med/large

This stuff has seriously changed my life. If you're thinking about trying it, DO IT. I was super hesitant, but it's made a huge difference.

Thanks for sharing on the community!

Just a reminder about the guidelines. Please don't talk about unapproved versions of semaglutide, and definitely don't try to buy or sell anything here. Watch out for private messages offering meds – they're not legit.

I'm starting at almost the same weight as you did! I hope I can do as well as you have. ☺

I'm so glad to hear that you're doing better off your blood pressure meds! It's so interesting how GLP-1s affect more than just weight. I saw an article about how semaglutide can reduce blood pressure, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes, by improving glucose control.

I've also read about semaglutide's effect on blood pressure. Here's a reference: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.118.010321

I feel so much healthier! It's not just about the weight, my blood sugar is way better, and being able to get off the blood pressure meds? Huge!

Hey Sub_Guy719, did you get any lab work done before and after? I'm curious about how this medicine impacts hormones, particularly estrogen.

 

[Sub_Guy719]

Yeah, CoolFixed, I did a full panel before I started. Total T, free T, and estradiol. I should do it again now that I'm stable. Thanks for reminding me!
