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, 14 months later: I am down 84 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The My year on Mounjaro aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
