Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update. I've recently started incorporating regular 5K runs into my week. This medicine has been a game-changer in managing my diabetes, and I've been able to cut back on some of my other meds. Plus, honestly, I feel like I'm looking pretty good.

I still get hit with body image issues sometimes, and dealing with clothes and sizing stuff can be tough. But I'm taking it one day at a time, knowing that societal pressures play a big role in how we see ourselves.

April '24: around 280 lbs?
June '25: down to 243

I totally get that! It's like your brain hasn't caught up with the new you yet! I've found thrifting to be helpful - less pressure and cheaper options while I figure out my new style.

That's a great idea! I might have to try hitting up some local shops. My closet is in shambles right now lol.
 
Started February at 197 and I'm around 172 now, though I should probably be closer to 170 with the pace I'm keeping. Still at point seventy-five dose and trying to stay there. You're doing great!
 
CGM during the weight loss phase is actually really useful data for calibrating how exercise and food timing interact rather than just tracking glucose in isolation. 5K runs as part of the routine is the movement piece that tends to compound the medication results over time. How are the 5K splits tracking - improving, holding, or still adjusting?
