Happy Sunday!

After weeks of waiting on insurance…I GOT MY ZEPBOUND TODAY!!! First injection is complete and I’m so stoked to begin this journey. Any advice or comments about how long it takes to start feeling the effects or anything I should know going in is very appreciated.

So I've lost 65 lb since October and started TRT in November. I'm switching TRT clinics so I had to get blood work done. And the comparison from when the last time I had my lipids tested which was August 24th 2024 when I weighed 253 lbs to now is crazy. My testosterone went from 240 and now it's at the 831. Weight ~178 lb 6/18/26 ~253 lb 8/24/2024 Total Cholesterol 177 mg/dL 6/18/26 136 mg/dL 8/24/2024 HDL ("Good") 33 mg/dL 6/18/26 57 mg/dL 8/24/2024 LDL ("Bad") 112 mg/dL 6/18/26 65 mg/dL 8/24/2024 Triglycerides 182 mg/dL 6/18/26 70 mg/dL 8/24/2024

For a number of years I remember thinking if I could just get back to my High School/ College physique, it would be awesome, but that last 10lbs of fat was just too hard to cut and those weights were just a little to heavy… well thanks to accepting that TRT is Ok, and Zepbound is OK, and it’s OK to still lift heavy in my 50s… today I am 52 years old, 152 (high school weight) and hit my goals. So here is my question now. Do I push for more, or do I maintain. I am finding when I drop weight from where I am at, my bench press, squats, and deadlifts decrease, which I prefer strength over more cut. Also at 2 x weight 305lbs deadlifts X 2 and 275lbs squat x 6 , and benching 185lbs x 10 reps, do I push for more, or do I maintain?

Hey everyone, I’m a longtime friend of Lane and have followed his journey since the beginning back when he started his first YouTube channel. You won’t find a better guy! When he started sharing his fitness journey, I knew he was someone I could trust, and honestly his story really kicked my own health journey into overdrive. I started taking Tirzepatide on April 12, and as of today, May 27, I’m down 30 pounds!!! It definitely hasn’t been easy every day. At first, I was skeptical because the shots made me feel like I had a stomach bug for about a day after taking them. But after the first couple weeks, that feeling pretty much went away, and now it just works by quieting the constant hunger signals. I’ve also been trying to do this the right way by hitting the gym at least 3 times a week and walking or running 5 times a week because I didn’t want to lose my guns either 😂 I say all that because if you joined this group and you’re skeptical about GLP-1s, you’re in the right place. I know Lane puts in hours and hours of research to make sure he’s giving people good information, and I’m really grateful he’s been willing to be vulnerable and share his journey publicly. I still have a ways to go, but I already feel so much better and definitely feel like I’m finally headed in the right direction.
