Slightly tangential to Step count challenge but steve_okc reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
Relevant to Step count challenge looking — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 209 → 109 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 13 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 280 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 35 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Step count challenge aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
