Everything I’ve found helpful as a GLP-1 user, all in one place. If it makes the journey easier, it’s here.
LINK: spreadsheet for comparing prices from telehealth providers for compounded Tirzepatide and Semaglutide. The data is pulled from provider websites and updated periodically.

APPs
Shotsy. Best app to keep track of your shots, place of injection and your weight. There's a free and paid version, but honestly the free one is good enough for use of tracking.
Happy Scale: For weight tracking, Happy Scale is my go-to. It’s really motivating because it shows trends, predictions and mini milestones that keep me focused without stressing about the scale every day.
Lose It!: Many use it to log meals and track food intake. It has a free version with a lot of functionality and there's even a plan specifically for those using GLP-1 meds.
Cronometer: If you’re into details, Cronometer is fantastic. The free version does basic macro breakdown - fat, carbs, protein, calories. It’s good enough for most people's needs, paid tier will track all the vitamins etc.
Me Three Sixty: I like it for visually tracking weight loss progress. It creates a 3D scan of your body and provides more than a dozen measurements.
MyNetDiary: my personal choice to track calories and protein. You can log meals manually, scan barcodes or take pictures for automatic input in paid version.
Water Llama: for those struggling with hydration, it gamifies the process, making it easy to track water intake.
Trainest: good app to start your regular fitness. It's easy to use, no subscription needed and the progress chart keeps you motivated.
