A year ago YOU gave me the trust and the playbook how to do it. As a former trapeze artist in lots of pain and in menopause i had sat on my ass and gained 60 pounds in ten years hating my life. At 51 i started taking Mj, went back to the gym and changed to high protein. One year later the 60 pounds are gone and several Inbody scans taken over this time span prove that i lost no muscle. With just two sessions of heavy lifting per week i managed to keep all muscle mass (with the advantage of muscle memory that i can tell you works even after 10 years of doing nothing). Besides the pain of spending lots of money on Mj as a "llifestyle drug"- which is RIDICULOUS to tell somebody in metabolic hell on the border of diabetes! I don´t regret a penny i have spendt. It was all so worth it. Thanks Tyna!

Oh dear lord!! Less than five minutes into this video, I'm almost screaming! (ok, maybe not actually screaming) I've been saying this since I started a GLP-1! Over and over again, I've seen mri slides of fatty muscle of people who are overweight or obese. The goal of any weight loss journey is to reduce fat, not just subcutaneous adipose, but within our muscles and organs like our liver. I've gotten tired of yelling into the wind, and no one wants to hear it. It's much more exciting to claim that GLP-1 weight loss destroys 40% of muscle and all of us are going to be skinny fat because we didn't just eat less and move more. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting this information out. I wish more people would! Kudos to you!

Thank you! Guilty! I’m a 66 year old athlete in a couch potato lifestyle! As a T2D I’ve been on GLP1 for almost 4 years, now. I didn’t lose a lot of weight at first. I didn’t even know I would! This is before GLP1 became known for weight loss! But I’d say over the first 12-18 months I lost 45-50 pounds. <br> And, late to the party, I’m starting strength training. I never liked it…. I was a Century Cyclist, 3rd degree black belt, competitive roller skater, etc. but never strength for any length of time.<br> Well, now it’s time. By the grace of God my bone density is good and muscle mass shows good. But I want great!<br> At 66 I can’t put my carry on in the overhead bin. Unacceptable! So I’m here to say… I started walking again, and just started the gym.

Thanks for putting things in perspective. I feel encouraged now to try a GLP1 after doing all the other things required already.
