[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]gaining 35 lbs during a stressful period of my life where I also had an undiagnosed thyroid disorder. Now I’m on a GLP (miracle IMO) and back to my starting weight of 120isg.

But part of me wants to be thin thin. I’ve never been fashionably thin like some people where almost all clothes just look great, and shoulders/arms are defined etc. I don’t mean anorexic btw.

At what weight does that happen? Right now I’m right in the middle of the range for a healthy weight for my height.

If you don’t believe in GLP, you can move along

Anyone btdt and managed to get very thin on a GLP? [/quote]

It really depends on your frame and your current % of body fat/ lean mass. Weight is not going to be your best indicator (and people here with different body types will excoriate you for saying anything under 120).

For reference, I felt fashionably thin at 5’5 and 105 pounds when I was 20 years old and skinny, not fit, was the norm. Knowing I have a very very small frame and I don’t naturally build muscles so I easily go to skinny fat when I gain weight.

Today at 45 yo I feel fashionably thin at 115. But I am trying to move away from the scale and focus on my body fat %. I am sure I will look better at 120 with a lower body fat %. With better looking arms and shoulders in particular. And I am also just looking forward to be healthier / stronger and preparing for further muscle loss in menopause.

So for you on a GLP1 : I would start by getting a body scan and focus more on your lean mass. Losing muscles is already a risk of the medication. Now is the right time to focus on gaining muscles.[/quote]
