Sayin hello

Welcome aboard. I'm in a similar spot, down 37 on sema and I added light dumbbell work last winter, which has kept my knees way happier as the number drops. Curious what extras you're thinking of adding to the routine.

Hello! Down 35 since starting last fall and I noticed the same thing others mentioned, the resistance band stuff I do a few mornings a week has done more for my joints than the scale number. Aging still sucks though, no workaround found yet either.

Hello and congrats on the progress since October. I'm a similar timeline in and down about 23 myself, and adding some light strength work made a bigger difference with the creaky joints than I expected. Aging does suck but the routine helps take the edge off it.

Dropped about 30 here too, and what finally got me moving better was just carrying groceries and doing yard work like it counted. Turns out it did. The aging thing still stinks but staying stronger makes it sting less.

Welcome! I started around the same time and I'm down 17 myself. What's been working for me on the aging front is just regular walks plus some light stretching in the mornings, my back complains way less now.

Hello folks. Been on the GLP journey since October of last year. Making good progress just wanting to add some other things to the ritual to make sure I keep on track and help with this aging process which sucks by the way....

Welcome! I'm about the same timeline in and adding protein goals and regular walks was what kept my momentum going, so finding those extra rituals makes sense. The aging part I've got no fix for yet, ha.

Hey, fellow October-ish starter here and down 22 lbs myself on tirz. The aging thing is real, I started walking most days and lifting light weights twice a week and it has honestly helped more with the creakiness than the scale ever did. Curious what you end up adding to your routine.

Welcome! I'm only about 10 down so far but the thing that's helped me feel less creaky is just adding a short walk after dinner most nights. Curious what extras you land on since I'm in the same boat of wanting to build out the routine.

Hello! I'm only a few months in and down about 5, so sounds like you're way ahead of me. Aging is rough, but I've noticed staying consistent with the basics matters more than anything fancy I've tried adding.

Hi from someone further down the road - 56 gone myself since starting. Biggest add-on that stuck for me was stretching and some light resistance stuff a few mornings a week; the scale keeps moving either way but my back stopped complaining. Curious what you end up layering in.

Hi, still early on myself but the aging comment hits home. Small protein bump with breakfast is the only extra I've bothered with so far and it seems to keep me steady, so I'm curious what ritual pieces you end up adding.

Down 46 over a similar stretch myself, and the thing that stuck for me was adding light strength work plus a protein focus, so seems like you're already surrounded by people testing the same stuff. Aging complaint noted and seconded, the mirror does not care what the scale says. Welcome aboard.

Down a similar amount since fall and aging is exactly why I started poking around here too. Protein at breakfast and a couple light dumbbell sessions a week are the only extras that stuck for me so far, everything else fell off. Curious what you try first.

Similar timeline here on oral meds and down over 50 myself. The only add-ons that survived past a few weeks for me were a bigger breakfast and dumbbells twice a week, everything fancier got dropped. Aging is real though, no trick fixes that part.

Down about 54 myself and I keep it boring: protein first thing and a short walk most days, that's the only ritual that survived. The scale moves easier than the mirror, no argument there. What extras are you leaning toward trying?

Started in the fall too and only down 4 so far, so I'm taking notes here. Sounds like protein and dumbbells are the common thread among the folks who've kept at it, might start there myself. Aging part I can't help with yet, still figuring out that one.

Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Cheering you on. Just what worked for me, obviously.

Down about 32 since I started, and honestly the boring stuff is what stuck for me too -- prioritizing protein and a walk after dinner beats any fancy supplement I've tried. Aging still sucks regardless of the scale, but I move easier now than I did a year ago, so that counts for something.

Down 42 myself and the boring stuff was the whole game for me too -- protein first at every meal and a short walk after dinner. Moving easier is the real win, the scale just follows.
