Mine went the same way, slower.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
Muscle fiber type changes during GLP-1-mediated weight loss, relevant to lean mass: preliminary biopsy data suggests that weight loss shifts the skeletal muscle fiber type distribution:
This "metabolic remodeling" of muscle may contribute to improved insulin sensitivity independent of total lean mass changes. The muscle you keep becomes metabolically better, even if there's less of it[1].

Sharing my comprehensive lab data relevant to lean mass:
| Biomarker | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 6 | Month 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight (lbs) | 276 | 246 | 226 | 201 |
| A1C (%) | 6.6 | 6.6 | 5.7 | 5.3 |
| hsCRP (mg/L) | 6.0 | 4.0 | 1.5 | 1.2 |
| Triglycerides | 196 | 146 | 136 | 106 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/week, protein 1.2g/kg/day.
The improvements in lean mass are clearly reflected in these numbers. The inflammatory marker reduction (hsCRP) is particularly striking.
