I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 267 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 12 months later: I am down 52 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The State pharmacy board aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this State pharmacy board thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first 6 weeks are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
