Relevant to VENDOR RULES Read before — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 231 → 101 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Want to share my personal experience related to VENDOR RULES Read before since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 257 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 18 months later: I am down 37 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The VENDOR RULES Read aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Admin — that is really helpful context on VENDOR RULES Read. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?

I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Want to share my personal experience related to VENDOR RULES Read before since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 274 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 10 months later: I am down 44 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The VENDOR RULES Read aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

mia_MS2 — that is really helpful context on VENDOR RULES Read. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
