Want to share my personal experience related to Walking is underrated - 10k since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 248 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 8 months later: I am down 68 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Walking is underrate aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.
