One year down, feeling good!

[Lou]

It's been a year today since I started this journey. I've been hitting the gym for about 16 weeks, and while the weight's coming off a bit slower now (around half a pound each week), my clothes are definitely fitting better, especially in the shoulders. I'm curious to see what the next year brings!

That's amazing progress!

Wow! How old are you? I'm asking because I look a lot like your before pic, and I'm worried about having saggy skin after I lose the weight

 

[Lou]

Thanks everyone! Brook I'm in my late 30s. Are you incorporating any strength training? I've heard that can help with skin elasticity.

 

[Lou]

Congratulations! How tall are you? My nephew shed some pounds after approximately 4 months. He started around the same weight you're at currently.

I'm finding that exercise has ramped up the impact of the medication SO much! Anyone else suddenly have a renewed love for working out with this med?

I try to work out most days, it's important to me for clarity. Usually 30-45 mins on the stationary bike and then some weight training. I don't have a set routine and never have, I just do what feels right.

I wish I had the energy to workout. I'm like, 2 months in and the nausea is killing me. I've tried everything. I might have to quit because I can't even enjoy my hobbies.

Brook I understand that! I had some nausea at first, but it eventually subsided. Maybe talk to your doctor about adjusting your dosage or trying a different GLP-1?
