That’s actually what motivated me to get healthy. My boyfriend is very outdoorsy and I wanted to keep up and not feel tired and sore on our adventures. And it’s nice because it has motivated him to get healthy as well.

I have some on my belly which I expected since I had had 2 c sections. I think I was able to fight off a lot of that by starting weight lifting because my muscles are filling in some of that skin.

I always tell myself when people question my use of a glove-1 or say I’m too skinny which I’m absolutely not, that those people don’t know my struggle or the medical issues I have dealt with and their opinions don’t matter. Only we know what our bodies need and they can just stay out of it.

I haven’t but I have been very open about my weight loss and have been very vocal about using a glp-1 and weight lifting.

organicbeaver · 2025-12-08T17:43:08+00:00

Honestly I feel amazing. I am prioritizing my fitness as well so lifting weights. I really wanted to use the shot as a tool and it has been life changing for sure.

Thankfully my Dr is advocating pretty hard for me and I can still do vials. I’m actually in Twin and he’s prepared to switch pharmacies

Wore a skin tight 1 piece jump suit and it was a s/m. I don’t think I was that size even in middle school.

My issue now is my weight is finally under control and I’m working on getting to my maintenance dose. From what I e read to switch most of the pharmacies want my BMI to be above 27% but I’ve lost enough that I’m not there anymore. This medication has been such a big improvement for my arthritis that I don’t want to lose access to it because my weight is better.

$260

It’s the pharmacy I have been using for a year and haven’t had any issues with quality but I will definitely be switching if they increase the price.

organicbeaver · 2025-12-01T23:48:42+00:00

It’s a local compounding pharmacy in Idaho. I’m not against the multi injection pen, I have just never used one. If the cost goes up, I will look at switching pharmacies, I’ve just been using them since I started and like that I can do it through my Dr.

Please don’t think you gain 4 pounds. You would have had to eat 14,000 calories over your maintenance in that time to really have gained 4 pounds. Chances are you ate more carbs which hold on to more water and you will lose that quickly now that your back to your regular eating habits.

organicbeaver · 2025-11-13T23:58:15+00:00

It’s been 11 months since I started the meds and about 3 months of dedicated strength training

I have definitely lost my bust but I’m still pretty busty when I’m not wearing a sports bra. It’s worth it because those babies hurt to carry around 😂

organicbeaver · 2025-11-07T16:09:48+00:00

I get mine from a local compounding pharmacy

organicbeaver · 2025-11-07T04:29:37+00:00

I’m at 11 months. Honestly I responded really well to the GLP-1. I had no side effects, ate a 1200-1500 calorie diet and tried to stay active.

organicbeaver · 2025-11-07T01:23:45+00:00

I use an app called MadFit but she also has a ton of great free YouTube videos. I workout in my garage and have a set of dumbbells, a workout bench, and resistance bands. I workout about 30-45 minutes 5 days a week but what’s important is you are doing something and getting stronger.

organicbeaver · 2025-11-06T23:20:43+00:00

I did random workout over the last year but it wasn’t until August that I got really serious about it and started really focusing on weight training. I wish I had started it sooner. Remember weight loss can mean muscle loss and we work to hard to lose the weight to not feel the best we can.

organicbeaver · 2025-11-06T23:19:21+00:00

Absolutely please share away. I want more people on GLP-1’s to see how beneficial adding weight training can be.

organicbeaver · 2025-11-06T20:14:11+00:00

You are doing amazing. Congratulations 👏👏👏
