steph_laguna — that is really helpful context on COA red flag compilation . 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.

Want to share my personal experience related to COA red flag compilation what since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 289 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 54 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The COA red flag aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this COA red flag thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
