A short intro to kick things off: I'm Eric, 35 years old, living in the Tri-State area.
Most of my life I carried a lot of weight, always north of 220 lbs. Then some serious health problems made it clear that staying that size wasn't an option anymore. The moment it really landed: I couldn't squeeze onto amusement park rides any longer and, far more worryingly, came close to a heart attack.
That scare pushed me into a big life change — better food, regular exercise, a proper effort at getting fit. Diet on its own took off an astonishing 100 lbs. After that I moved into serious lifting and a tighter meal plan, and put on roughly 10 lbs of muscle.
A few months on, progress stalled and the last few pounds wouldn't budge — then a friend brought up GLP-1s. That has completely changed the game for me.
