Slim down first so you feel like working out, or work out first so you feel like slimming down...

...or just start a GLP-1 and speed up the motivation part

Welcome!

I combined GLP-1 with exercise right from the start. From my own experience, the pounds came off quickly while I was on mounjaro and doing cardio, since the food noise went away and that made the diet side of things far, far simpler.

The one thing I wish I had done differently was putting all my effort into cardio and skipping strength training entirely. Now that I've seen how losing muscle affects us with age, I've started adding kettle bell and weight training.

Moving your body matters for lots of reasons, yet the message seems to be that it has limited influence over the number on the scale. The best-case scenario: the GLP gives your nutritious eating a boost, which in turn gets you moving more >> a range of health perks, among them aging better. Glad you're here, and good luck lining everything up!
