Want to share my personal experience related to Okay who else cannot stop since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 265 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 8 months later: I am down 35 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Okay who else cannot aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

rachel_ABQ — that is really helpful context on Okay who else cannot stop. 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.
