Dizziness and cardiovascular risk: I was lightheaded for the first 2 weeks.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.

Positive "side effect" of cardiovascular risk: my blood pressure dropped so much that I'm now off metoprolol entirely! My cardiologist is thrilled.

If you're on BP meds and losing weight on a GLP-1, monitor your BP at home regularly. Hypotension symptoms (dizziness, lightheadedness when standing) mean your BP meds may need reduction. Don't wait for your next scheduled appointment — call your doctor.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

Following on from pat_auckland — and this may be the naive question:

What would you measure differently if you were starting again?

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. I think the framing smuggles in the conclusion. Ask it the other way round and the obvious answer reverses, which usually means the question is doing the work.
