Hi Everyone!! New here & to GLPs. Been reading up for a bit & finally signed up here. Congratulations to everyone who has had such great success!! It has really inspired me to try this & become part of this group 
Been a long journey for me. Trying to lose weight (need to go down about 50lbs now) & feel better for years. Nothing has worked & I'm tired of feeling horrible (pain, exhausted, hair loss, hashimotos etc), so I'm getting up the nerve to try GLPs (I really really hate/anxious of needles) since I was reading a lot of people are having success with pain & inflammation reduction as well. I have literally tried everything (can be one of those Christmas lists that roll out) of diets, ha ha. Every time I lose nothing, or very little then when I stop I gain more than I was to start + exercised for over a year (not just 1 week & quit) 2-3 classes a day + walking with a friend, pool sauna etc. Then I was feeling even worse (exercise soreness on top of pain). I dont eat a lot anyway (very small meals 1-2 times a day or stomach will bother me), drink water only (other then 1 morning coffee) or hot tea with nothing added. I very very rarely eat really junky (drive-through type) food. Cook 99% of time & make healthiER type foods. Not 100% perfect everyone has to live a little, but I do try.
Seen different Drs, Endos, Rheumatologists, etc. No one has an answer for me after so many labs
Taken Phentermine, Topamax, Metformin & supplements, etc
deciding between 2 which I should start with (planning on very soon)
Really hoping this can be the answer!! Hope anyone with similar issues has success stories to share!!
