Gym confidence after training weight loss: walked into a gym for the first time in 8 years yesterday.

Exercise transformation with training: went from barely able to walk a block to completing a 5K last month.

My fitness journey alongside GLP-1 therapy:

• Month 1-2: Walking 15 min/day
• Month 3-4: Walking 30-45 min, started bodyweight exercises
• Month 5-6: Joined a gym, started resistance training
• Month 7+: Running, lifting heavy, yoga for fun

The weight loss made movement possible. The movement made more weight loss possible. Virtuous cycle in action.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. Whatever the answer turns out to be, the method for getting there is the same: state the assumption, do the arithmetic in public, and invite the correction. That is slower than asserting, and it is the only version that survives being wrong.

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

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
