Want to share my personal experience related to How to properly track progress since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 263 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 18 months later: I am down 48 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The How to properly aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

I have cleaned up a few off-topic posts. 👍

Adding my data to this How to properly track discussion:

Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.2g/kg/day.

SteveThurs — wow. This community is amazing.
