Relevant to Gym anxiety after major weight — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 243 → 113 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 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 Gym anxiety after major weight since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 254 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 89 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Gym anxiety after aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

NurseKim_ATL — that is really helpful context on Gym anxiety after major. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?

I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Want to share my personal experience related to Gym anxiety after major weight since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 271 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 6 months later: I am down 41 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Gym anxiety after 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.
