GLP-1 progress check-in

[Kit_87]

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.

I started at nearly 440, and am down to almost 300 after a year! It's all about consistency. Keep up the effort!

 

[Tone-Tale]

That is tremendous progress, @HealthDiary661! I'm so happy for you that you have lost over 140 pounds!

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!

Jardiance and these medications are lifesavers for diabetic folks. Get bloodwork from your gp to monitor though.
