GLP-1s: My Amazing Journey!

I'm a data geek, plain and simple!

Since I began GLP-1 treatment in June of last year, I've kept meticulous records of my body composition. The results are pretty compelling. I wanted to share this journey not just as a personal victory, but also to challenge the narrative that this medication inevitably leads to muscle wasting or that dreaded "skinny fat" appearance.

I don't do heavy lifting – just consistent group fitness classes at the YMCA and regular walks. I've never counted calories or macros. I just intuitively made smarter food choices.

Today, I'm officially in the normal weight category. Not overweight. Not "obese." And for someone who has struggled with extra weight their whole life, this is huge. I wasn't sure it would work at all, and I'm so grateful I tried it.
 
Thank you for posting!

What an incredible change! I love that you're emphasizing commitment and good food and activity choices. Congrats on all of your accomplishments. I am sure you feel incredible, and you look fantastic!
 
I'm starting to worry a little. I'm 5'3" and went from 175lbs to 127lbs. My current BMI is 22.5. I'm working on finding the right maintenance dose and trying to recomp to make up for some possible muscle loss. Has anyone else experienced this?

Congrats on the weight loss! Just remember to focus on strength training to rebuild a bit. Don't let people's comments get to you!
 
That's awesome progress KetoStrong! I've actually been noticing more muscle definition lately, which is encouraging given what you sometimes hear about these meds. The weight is coming off slower, but the body composition changes are becoming more evident. Keep up the great work!
