Want to share my personal experience related to Weekly injection day thread since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 257 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 10 months later: I am down 72 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Weekly injection day aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Adding my data to this Weekly injection day discussion:

Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.6g/kg/day.

robert_kc — wow. I've been looking for this exact info for weeks.

Weekly injection day is exactly what I've been researching

This is exactly right. cory_ATX articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The Weekly injection day aspect is the most important factor.
