Hey everyone!
I decided it was finally time to stop lurking, stop simply reading, and become an actual member. I’m here for a couple of reasons, and before anything else I want to express my thanks. My introduction to this site happened because of my mom — she has type 2 diabetes and began using ozempic, then came a flood of questions along with several side effects. A new doctor had taken her on, and while they appeared fine with prescribing the medication, their knowledge of it seemed less current. Reading here cleared up nearly everything she had been complaining about. In the end, after losing a modest amount, she stopped taking it.
Now for my own story. I’m 38, and for a number of years I followed keto; my weight was healthy and good, but maintaining that was a struggle. After reaching my ideal weight, I went back to eating regular food, and from that point things slid downward. I’m now back at 270, the same weight I started at, at 6’1. I’ve begun working on myself again and going to the gym to stay consistent. The difficult part is that for the past few years my job kept me on the road constantly.
That said, I intend to continue researching and to keep moving ahead with my weight loss plans and getting back to my former self. Thank you in advance for all the support and for the questions you answer.
