This really highlights the “long game” side of GLP-1s that doesn’t get enough attention. After a few years, it’s less about rapid weight loss and more about maintenance, mindset, and adapting to a new normal.
That middle phase—plateaus, identity shifts, staying consistent—is where most of the real work happens.
It also reinforces that the medication is just one part of it. The structure around it is what determines whether results actually last, which is why approaches like FormBlends are getting more attention alongside it.
More people need to hear that it is okay to allow the medication to do the heavy lifting. Everything else can come later and don’t feel an ounce of guilt about that. I sat on my butt in my art studio the first 6 months and took my shots and didn’t move an inch and lost 50 pounds, at age 60 mind you when it’s super hard to lose weight! After that weight came off all of a sudden I felt like moving…I actually WANTED to move. And now the stall that I had has gone away too. But unlike you, my tastebuds and food preferences changed drastically after my very first shot. I am what they call a “super responder”. I haven’t had any of my obesity foods or sugar since I started the Tirz shots not because I am white knuckling some sort of healthy diet, but because I have no desire for any of that now going on 8 months!

Same here girl! In fact I think today is my two year anniversary on GLP-1s. Come so far, learned so much - still in the middle!
