Want to share my personal experience related to How do you exercise when you since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 268 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 18 months later: I am down 78 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The How do you exercise aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Relevant to How do you exercise when you — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 229 → 99 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Want to share my personal experience related to How do you exercise when you since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 285 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 10 months later: I am down 85 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The How do you exercise aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

jason_paloalto — that is really helpful context on How do you exercise when. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

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