It is okay, but depending on their body composition, lower body fat could potentially benefit them. I'm 5'4", and at a size 8, there is more stress on my joints, and I'm not at my healthiest.

+1. I feel really bloated and unhealthy at a size 8. That's where I started on a GLP-1; now I'm back down to size 4 and feel much lighter, more energetic and happier.

Exactly! In the last few weeks, I've experienced less inflammation, which has made me feel more inclined to exercise. Did you stop GLPs or find a maintenance dose you are sticking with?

Also work out every day including weight training 3x week. For like 10 years though I’ve been trying to lose the same gd 10-15 pounds. I’ve reached it briefly at times but always come back up. I’m sure I’d be able to keep it off if I gave up alcohol but thats a tough one to give up.

I've been on a low dose of GLP-1 for less than a month, and I have lost my desire to drink. It is just like the food noise for me, there is no alcohol noise.

What is a low dose ? 2.5 or even less?

Sorry to hijack but I am also mid-40s, 5’6” and naturally fluctuate between 155-160 but my doctor wants me to weigh around 145 max for health reasons. I have high blood pressure and take medication for it (Losartan).

However, she won’t prescribe a GLP-1 for me and just keeps telling me to diet and exercise more. It is a vicious yo-yo cycle for me - I count calories (need to stay under 1300 daily) and drop the weight, then I stop counting and gain it all right back. I think about food all the time and can’t control my portions - that is 100% my problem.

How are others getting an RX for these meds and do you go behind your doctors back if they say no? My one worry is how safe they are with my blood pressure meds.

You can’t stop counting.

Lower weight will help lower your blood pressure. I'm not a doctor, but I imagine you would want to manage dosing for bp meds as your body's natural bp goes down as you lose weight.

My doc prescribed them for me from a compound pharmacy so I could dose low.

Is it a weekly injection?

I didn't want to lose more weight but did want to maintain it, so my doctor switched me to Contrave, and I've been using that for the past two weeks. It's a terrific appetite suppressant. I just ordered a one-month refill and plan to use this for the long haul.

All my clothes, 2s and 4s, fit again, and I am very happy with my decision.

what dose were you on?

I am not losing anything anymore on my Tirz compounded....high dose too. only lost 10 pounds early on (but a lot of fat).

I'm injecting in the thigh. Where is everyone injecting?

What was your original weight, and what is your target weight? How long have you been plateauing?
