Workin' for those steps!

That's awesome! What a great bonus of your job. I always think about how physical jobs must let people eat whatever they want. I bet package delivery drivers are in great shape from all the moving around. I'm too old to do a job like that.

My job is mostly sitting at a PC all day. When I travel, I get some steps, but I ruin it all with airport drinks.
 
Haha, you could always get a second job loading trucks before your main one! I actually looked into it once, but I heard too many workers moaning about sore knees and stuff.
 
At one point, I was averaging around 25,000 steps every day. It took a toll, though; I had both knees replaced a few years back. Now, I'm a driver in a rural area and barely get 12k a week.
 
I've been taking Ozempic for almost 3 months - 1mg for the last 3 weeks - and I've only dropped 2 pounds. I haven't added any exercise either. But I'm definitely experiencing a decrease in food cravings. My real problem is late-night snacking.

I've been on it for seven months and only hit the highest dose recently. I've lost around 45 pounds. I actually stopped going to the gym. I tend to lift heavy. That builds muscle, but it also makes me eat more. I've lost some muscle, but I’m more defined now.
 
Movement is key when taking GLP-1 meds. It's not just about losing weight. It helps with muscle retention, especially since these meds can cause you to lose muscle if you're not careful with protein intake and physical activity.
 
Wow, Ash1992 45 pounds is amazing! I'm starting Mounjaro today, and I'm nervous. Posts like yours give me hope. I hope I can share a similar story in a year!
 
light cardio's important, doesn't gotta be crazy. jogging a couple miles on off days adds variety. the weight-lifting crowd can get super focused on one thing, but balanced is better for actual health. look up the five tibetan rites—15-20 min of simple stretching, pretty cool.
