Want to share my personal experience related to Pet photos thread looking for since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 273 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 8 months later: I am down 53 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Pet photos thread aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Relevant to Pet photos thread looking for — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 219 → 119 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.
