The Beginning
When I first stepped into this journey, I was at my heaviest, 71.6 kg, with a body fat percentage over 50%. I knew something had to change. My knee pain was the wake-up call, but it was Dr. Lily’s recommendation to try the GLP-1 program that truly shifted my path. I didn’t expect it to become such a long-term relationship with my health.
By the way, you can make appointment to see Dr. Lily at :
Poliklinik Amalmedik Kajang
No 9 (Ground Floor, Jalan Prima Saujana 1/1A, Prima Saujana, 43000 Kajang, Selangor
For women who are going thru Perimenopause or even at menopause can make appointment to meet Dr. Lily. She understands and will help you to ease some of your unexplained hormonal changes in your body.
The Transformation
Fast forward five months, and I’m now at 61.3 kg. That’s a total loss of 10.3 kg, with nearly 9 kg of fat gone. My visceral fat index dropped from 16 to 12, and my body age improved from 56 to 53. These numbers aren’t just digits on a report . They represent energy returning to my body, confidence creeping back into my daily life, and a healthier me emerging.
The Struggles
It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Plateaus tested my patience, and there were weeks where the scale barely moved. I had to remind myself that progress isn’t always at my expectations. Some weeks showed fat loss but muscle dips, others showed water retention. But every small win added up.
The Wins
👏 Weight loss: 10.3 kg down
👏 Fat reduction: 8.6 kg gone
👏 Visceral fat: Improved by 4 points
👏 Health score: From 56 to 61
These achievements are proof that consistency pays off. More importantly, I’ve learned to celebrate non-scale victories like fitting into clothes I thought I’d never wear again, or walking without knee pain. Horrayyyyy!!!! Manse! Manse! (Terus boleh cakap Korea balik)
What I Learned
GLP-1 therapy gave me the push, but lifestyle changes kept me moving forward. I learned the importance of:
♥️ Prioritizing protein to protect muscle
♥️ Staying hydrated to support metabolism
♥️Adding light strength training despite knee recovery
♥️ Sleeping well to keep hormones balanced
Looking Ahead
My target weight is 55 kg, and I’m just 6 kg away. At my current pace, I could reach it in 3 - 4 months. But more than the number, I’m focused on sustaining this healthier lifestyle. This journey taught me patience, resilience, and self-love.
Final Thoughts
Five months in, I’m proud of how far I’ve come. GLP-1 wasn’t a magic pill . It was a tool. The real magic was in showing up for myself every single day. And that’s the story I want to share with anyone who feels stuck: progress is possible, even if it’s slow. Stay consistent, stay kind to yourself, and the results will follow. It's not about getting myself thin or slim but it's about my precious health and mobility. I want to live my remaining years in a good quality health.
