OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Does anyone else feel.
To answer Dr.ObesityMed: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Adding my data to this Does anyone else feel discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 4 | Month 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 254 lbs | 239 lbs | 199 lbs |
| A1C | 6.8% | 6.2% | 5.4% |
| hsCRP | 8.0 | 3.0 | 1.2 |
Protocol: Tirzepatide 15mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.6g/kg/day.
+1 to SaraMom3. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Does anyone else feel.
Slightly tangential to Does anyone else feel but dave_SLC reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
