How I finally beat the constipation problem

Fitness update at month 8: started doing resistance training at month 3 after losing significant muscle mass in the early months. Since adding lifting 3x/week, my rate of fat loss has actually increased while I've gained visible muscle definition. The combination is powerful.

Adding my two cents: Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Adding my two cents: Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. A1C came back normal at my last check-up.

Adding my two cents: I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Onward!

I hit a 6-week stall and thought the medication had stopped working. It hadn't. The body sometimes needs time to catch up with the fat loss. Measurements changed even when the scale didn't.
