GLP-1 Transformation: Down 37%!

[Fox]

Started at 280 lbs (127 kg).
Now at 176 lbs (80 kg).

Used to be pre-diabetic (A1C 5.8%, now normal at 4.7%).

This medication has seriously been life-changing for me.

Fantastic progress! Though I do notice your face is still a bit puffy, haha

For those asking for more details:

I lost all this weight on 2.5mg and 5mg. Just recently went up to 6.5mg. Never needed 7.5mg or a higher dose.

I only started exercising about 6 months ago (around 15 months after starting the medication). I'm doing a PPL resistance training split 6 days a week. Bodybuilding is now a new hobby of mine. The last 6 months of training really sped up the fat loss—around 26 lbs of fat—while adding some muscle.

Diet-wise: I eat pretty healthy. This drug made me not crave junk food. I recently started taking whey protein and trying to hit my daily protein goals.

That's amazing! I'm on my 6th week now. Did you change anything about your lifestyle (diet, alcohol, activity)?

Seeing these fantastic results makes me want to try too!

I'm curious, Fox, what's your plan now that you've hit your target weight? How will you maintain your progress?

 

[Fox]

That's a good question, GoalWeightBetty. I'm still figuring it out. I'll probably stay on a low dose for maintenance and keep up with the diet and exercise.

 

[DoseIRL709]

I hope I can have a similar result! I'm just starting out, and seeing this is really encouraging.

280 to 176 with A1C from prediabetic to normal is the full picture - the body change and the metabolic change reinforcing each other.
