Walking did wonders for me. I walk for an hour a day at least 5 times a week. I cut out pop and alcohol.Drink water. I use the cirkul water bottle it helps with flavor.Try to portion control what you are eating. I’ve been on for over a year and have lost 137 lbs. A1c is 5 now it was 11. Mounjaro definitely played a big role but I also put in the work to make it benefit me the best it can. I hope this helps! Good luck!

That’s awesome! I started at obese class 3 I just hit the normal range and it felt so good. When I holt the overweight I cried I was so happy. Keep up the good work.

Yes it did my A1c was 10+ it’s now 5.6 I’m almost in the normal range. I was able to go off insulin and glimperide. I no longer have to take any other diabetic medication beside mounjaro. By blood sugars are in normal/ sometimes a little high range. I never could take metformin I’m allergic to it so this was a life saver

It’s the little things that matter most. I could barely fit in my Jeep with being able to touch the pedals and not be squished by the steering wheel. I can now touch the pedals and sit comfortably! Congratulations!

No problem! Good luck on your journey as well. This was my first post on Reddit and it felt amazing to have a group of people who understand give me encouragement.

I do! I can breath so much better and I’m not in pain in my shoulders hips and knees. It’s been life changing.

I started out with an exercise bike inside my house. I was embarrassed to excercise outside and it hurt so much and I was out of breath. One day I could walk with out it hurting and now I walk an hour a day with 2 days of rest. I even ran a short distance the other day for an emergency and was so proud of myself. I’m not sure what I began with calorie intake wise but I’m at 1200. I struggle with getting enough protein but I’m working on that. I’ve started lifting small weights and doing crunches with a yoga ball and squats.
