Started at 247, hit 225 this morning. I'm a 5'9" guy, 38, type 2 diabetic. A1c went from 8.1 → 6.4 in the same window which honestly matters more to me than the scale.

My boring routine:

5 mg weekly, Sunday morning
130-150g protein/day
Walk 8k steps minimum
One "normal" meal a week so I don't feel deprived

Happy to answer anything.

What does your week-of-injection food look like? Always curious if higher protein folks like you keep it up year-round.

Plain Greek yogurt + protein powder mixed in is my secret weapon. 50g protein in one bowl.
