[quote=Anonymous]I have been reading the GLP post about 10-15 pounds to lose. I am currently bombarded by commercials from Willow, Ro and others telling me i now can use GLP1 even if normal weight, to be "bikini ready". I have been trying to reduce "THAT" noise but i find it more and more difficult.. I have been fighting the same 10 pounds for a decade now and i would just love being thinner and fitting in my clothes without a muffin top and a bloated belly.

At the same time i feel really torn injecting a medication to achieve that goal. If it is just about eating less and exercising more I should be able to do it. What tempts me the most is if there is a bonus additional metabolic issue, through insulin regulation for example. Anyway, long story short, I want to use the coming month to test myself before i say yes or no to GLP-1. So here are my stats and plan to start.

Stats: 
- Basic stat: 5'6"female. Just turned 44 yo. Currently 118 pounds. Exact same weight as last year.
- Body type: 34% body fat on my dexa scan. I am a skinny fat with a very thin bone structure. Thin legs and arms but apple shape and too much weight on my belly. Hard for me to build muscles. I flag this for anyone thinking i am anorexic based on my weight. I truly look chubbier than i weight and the extra pounds do not work for me.
- weight history: lowest adult weight at 29yo, 103 pounds. Pre kids. Post kids 110-120 range. I feel and look best at 108-110.
- regular diet: I generally eat a very healthy home cooked Mediterranean diet. I have trouble with quantities, i tend to eat big meals. But I don't have a snacking or sweet tooth problem (that's why i am not sure GLP1 makes sense for me). I probably drink too much alcohol (a glass of wine a day + 2 glasses on sat and sundays). 
- regular fitness regimen: I run a 5k a week and then every other day i try to fit a pilates or weight training session, i walk a lot. I am generally endurant but i have very little muscle mass.

I think i am peri-menopausal based on a lot of recent changes and i want to find the new routine that works for the coming decade (hopefully without GLP-1).

Goals and plans: 
- 108 / 110 pounds and ideally under 30% body fat by end of June. 
- 1200 calories per day. Reduce carbs. Keep 0% UPFs and snacks. Alcohol only sat and sunday 1 drink a night 
- Same fitness regimen but make sure i do something every day (20-30 min, pilates, yoga, weight training and running)

Test: If i am down to 115 by end of April (3 pounds in 4.5 weeks) I won't get GLP1[/quote]
