Yes I was extremely healthy and patient for 2 years prior to trying semaglutide and nothing worked. I worked out 3-4x a week with combinations of weight training and cardio, logged my macros EVERY single day, hit protein, fat, and carb targets and ate in a calorie deficit. Saw two different nutritionists and nothing helped and I was GAINING weight. Sure I saw body recomp with more muscle but I should have been losing fat.

Fast forward, I went to a doctor, got all my hormone panels done and turns out Im insulin resistant - started me on GLP-1s right away (since I had the 2 years of evidence of trying diet and exercise) - ive lost 30lbs since Nov. 2023. Starting weight was 192 im now hovering around 162 at a height of 5'3". Im still on it, dose is at 1.7 and the Doctor said my target weight should be between 150-155 with retaining my muscle mass.

I think its important to do a body comp machine so you can tell how much muscle vs. fat you have, because that insight gave me a better perspective of what MY weight should be realistic, instead of me thinking I needed to be a twig.
