I trained through the whole thing, three times a week, and the effect on the scale was almost nothing while the effect on everything else was large.
What would genuinely help is knowing what training is actually for during a large deficit, because framing it as calorie burn sets people up to quit when the arithmetic disappoints them.
Practical detail welcome, however dull — the duller the better.

Exercise transformation with training: went from barely able to walk a block to completing a 10K last weekend.
My fitness journey alongside GLP-1 therapy:
- Month 1-2: Walking 15 min/day
- Month 3-4: Walking 30-45 min, started bodyweight exercises
- Month 5-6: Joined a gym, started resistance training
- Month 7+: Running, lifting heavy, swimming for fun
The weight loss made movement possible. The movement made more weight loss possible. Virtuous cycle in action.

Gym confidence after training weight loss: walked into a gym for the first time in 5 years yesterday. Was terrified. But you know what? Nobody stared. Nobody judged. Everyone was focused on their own workout.
Started with 20 minutes on the treadmill and some machine-based resistance exercises. Nothing fancy. But I DID IT. And I'll go back tomorrow.
To anyone too intimidated to start: the hardest rep is walking through the door. Everything after that is just movement. 💪

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
Exercise-induced nausea amplification with training: I learned the hard way that intense exercise within 24 hours of injection can make nausea much worse. The combination of delayed gastric emptying + exercise-induced blood flow redistribution is rough on the GI system.
My workaround: inject Friday evening, do low-intensity activity Saturday, and save my intense workouts for Tuesday-Thursday when the GI effects have subsided. Timing your training around your injection schedule is a real optimization strategy.
