Reading this thread on Triathlon training while hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 289 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 64 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Triathlon training — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
Moderator note: Great discussion, everyone. Just a reminder to keep things civil and evidence-based.
Thread quality is excellent — keep it up. 👍
Relevant to Triathlon training while on — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 201 → 101 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 17 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
Congrats KetoKyle!! You should be so proud of yourself. 🎉 👏
