+1 to Dr.NateNeph. Especially the point about "Re: Gardening on GLP-1 finally — the ef..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Gardening on GLP-1 .
Want to share my personal experience related to Gardening on GLP-1 finally since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 279 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 8 months later: I am down 54 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Gardening on GLP-1 aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

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