Finally gym confident, thanks to meds!

Good point, Shape-Boss! I'm trying to focus more on how my clothes fit and how I feel, rather than the number on the scale. It's a tough mental shift!

Same situation with my shoulder - imaging shows one thing, symptoms another. Keeping up light cardio while waiting for surgery. Tirzepatide doing its job on maintenance too. Fingers crossed yours goes well!

I'm 60 from New Jersey, been on tirzepatide for 2 months. Walk 7k most days, going slow but steady. Do you have concerns about India-sourced meds? I have some from there that seem legit.

Took me a minute but yeah, once it clicked it's been pretty straightforward.

woman in her 50s here. weight loss is going great! walking's the best move — no one ever regrets a walk. gets your whole body moving, heart pumping, fresh air. if gym doesn't appeal just walk with purpose, like errands. 15 min turns into 30 into an hour

I'm not an early bird at all, those people freak me out. But fasted exercise is legit depending on your goals. Mots-C mimics what you get from cardio. From what I've read, it feels kind of like how clen users describe it but way milder.

Gym confidence after insecurity that deep is the win the scale never shows.

I'm taking one thing as a base but still adding extra of something else earlier in the day for my elbow - tennis, golfer's, whatever it is. Yeah the base supposedly doesn't let you adjust dose but if you use it as foundation and layer stuff on top you kind of can.

New to this med and I'm in week 2 on Wellbutrin too so the anxiety is weird. Both times I injected my nervous system just went haywire for a bit. I wasn't scared of the needle or anything but my body just freaked out until I went to the gym. Already blown away by how this is working though.

11 weeks and the results have been unreal. 22.4kg down so far with ups and downs, but trending the right way. About 1800 calories a day plus evening gym sessions. Killing the food noise has been everything.

The resistance training piece during active loss is the practical answer to muscle preservation - it signals to the body to maintain the lean tissue during a caloric deficit in a way that cardio alone doesn't. The tradeoff of accepting some fatigue and soreness while the body adapts to both the medication and the training is real but it's temporary, and the long-term composition result is meaningfully different.

Holy crap, 234 down to 138.

Get into weightlifting seriously. Women face way higher risk for so many issues purely because strength training gets skipped.

Constantly pushing my mom, she's in her early 60s, to start, and she just won't budge.

Posts like this are lighting a fire under my post-menopausal self to actually hit the weights at the gym. Great work!
