Hi everyone!

I'm new to Glp1s and interested in self improvement. I thought I was starting a weightloss journey and have been incredibly surprised by how great I feel!!

I'm a 54 year old perimenopausal women, mother of 2 high schoolers and on the go. I was in a horrible accident 20 years ago that in a lot of pain. Since starting glp1, my pain and inflammation has seriously went way down, hot flashes non existent and I'm feeling happy!!

I'm here to learn and feel better with like minded people.
 
Awesome! My mom's around your age and has been losing on reta. Got her counting calories and the weight is coming off fast, finally!

We're also in Sunny Central Florida. Sadly, I'm not old enough to enjoy it.
 
Welcome! I've watched two interviews from Peter Bernard of The Villages on GLP1s. I believe that's near you. Welcome again.

We winter over two hours south of you. Florida is a wonderful state.

I'm in tirz and trying to hit 100 grams of protein a day, emphasizing trying!!! I've been steadily losing. I'm curious about switching to reta; this is working for me, so I'm cautious about making a change 😬.

There isn't any special age for enjoying our state!!! My husband is retired army, so we've moved a bit. IMHO Florida is one of the most interesting and beautiful states!!! Beaches, parks, springs... mermaids, amazing!

I have not heard of Peter Bernard until now, I'll check him out! Thank you. We are close to TV, "village adjacent" bordering the bubble.

Hey there! I'll be 54 in two days!

I also live in central FL

Oh- I'm birdwhacker's mom 🙂

My weight loss really got going once I started reta x2 times a week and started tracking and prioritizing protein! My personal goal is to stay between 1300-1600cal with 100-150g protein daily. Most days are around 1400 cal and 135g protein.

I started the Reta very slowly, so that's why I didn't lose much the first two months (2lbs, then 6lbs) but the 3rd month the magic happened and I lost 10 more pounds!

I typically lose about 2lbs a week.

Finally under 200lbs again, now I need to get below 150...
