Started my journey on GLP-1s...

Down 26 percent but I figure 20 percent of that happened before I touched any GLP-1 at all.

Both help, but food is 80% of it. Protein first, cardio as a bonus.

Weight training alongside GLP-1s is the single best intervention for protecting the muscle-to-fat loss ratio - the medication removes the calorie ceiling, resistance training provides the stimulus to preserve the lean mass.

Yeah, the happiness coming through is the real tell. The number on the scale is what people post about but the mental shift is usually what makes the biggest difference in how long it sticks. Really happy for you.

the mental space freed up when food noise goes quiet is actually the underrated part of how this changes things. not having the background calculation of what to eat, when, how much, whether you already overdid it - that headspace going quiet is huge and doesn't get talked about as much as the scale numbers.

The smirk comment is the external signal of something people notice in themselves too - the baseline mood and posture that settles at a lower resting level of self-consciousness produces a different default expression. it tends to happen before the person is consciously aware that something has shifted, and other people notice it first
