Before and after labs — cholesterol, A1C, all improved

Posted my comparison today at month 3. Happy to answer questions from anyone just starting.

Those lab improvements at the 3 month mark are great, especially the A1C. Mine also shifted for the better around that same point, though I'm only 44 lbs in so a bit behind you. Curious which marker moved the most for you.

My LDL barely moved at all by month 3 either, so don't sweat it if your next draw looks flat — mine finally shifted later on. Congrats on the 22 so far, and grats OP, the A1C drop that early is impressive.

Nice to see the lab threads showing up more often, mine only started looking better once I was around the 30 lb mark. Watching your A1C move this fast at month 3 gives me hope for my next draw.

My LDL was the last thing to budge, took closer to month 6 before it really dropped after the A1C moved early. Congrats on the 3 month numbers, and 44 down is flying, I averaged much slower on my way to 120.

Down 22 myself so can relate to the momentum helping everything trend better. Curious what your LDL looked like before vs now since that's the one I'm most eager to see change at my next draw. Grats on 44 at month 3, that's a strong stretch.

My labs looked flat at 3 months too even though I was down 33 by then, so the timing replies here track with my experience. Recheck gave me the real picture later on. OP, that early A1C drop is the part I'm jealous of.

That A1C improvement at month 3 is the standout for me too, mine barely moved that fast. I'm down 29ish myself and my lipids lagged until the 6 month draw, so your cholesterol numbers jumping that quick is impressive. Curious what the next round of labs shows.

Grats on the numbers moving that quick, my A1C barely budged at 3 months but looked way better on the recheck a few months later. Only about halfway to where you were weight-wise when you drew these, so this gives me something to aim for.

Funny how the A1C moves first while lipids lag — my triglycerides dropped way before my LDL budged. I'm only a few pounds in so far but watching these month 3 lab posts is motivating. What did your LDL do between months 3 and 6?

Month 3 lipid changes that fast is wild, mine took closer to the 6 month draw too. Curious what your A1C does by the next round since mine kept dropping after the first bump. Also noticed the injection-day tiredness faded for me somewhere past the 60 lb mark, so hopefully it eases up for the person asking above.

Month 3 with labs already trending that way is wild, mine took closer to the 6 month draw to show real movement. Down 36 myself so I'll be curious if my next panel catches up to yours. Thanks for posting the actual numbers instead of just saying all improved.

Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Look how far you've come.

The booth thing hits different than any number on the panel, congrats. My lipids also didn't budge until around month 5, so if yours already moved by 3 that's a great sign for the next draw. What was the biggest surprise on the labs for you?

What's your current titration schedule looking like? Fit into a restaurant booth comfortably, small thing but huge.

So proud of you. Crossed my legs for the first time in years today.

Big congrats on the panel, and the booth thing is exactly the kind of win that sticks with me more than numbers do. Mine moved slowly too, so seeing yours shift by month 3 is encouraging. Meanwhile I'll celebrate with you on the crossed legs, that milestone felt huge for me too.

Crossed legs got me too around the 20 lb mark, felt absurd how big that was. Interesting that your lipids shifted by month 3 when mine barely moved on my first draw. Curious what your A1C did since that was the number I watched closest.

My lipids also lagged a bit on my first draw then improved by the follow-up, so I wouldn't read too much into one early panel. Down about 26 lbs myself and my A1C dropped a few tenths at my three month mark, so the trend was there even when the change felt slow. Curious how yours compares.

My early losses were tiny too, like 2 lbs over the first stretch, so dont let the slow start fool you. My A1C was the last number to budge on my draws, lipids moved first, so that tracks with what you're seeing. Keep checking back here when the wins start stacking up.
