Still on a GLP-1
You hit your goal weight. You expected balloons. Maybe a parade. Instead, you got a quiet bathroom, a scale that finally agreed with you, and a voice in your head that whispered, “Okay, cool. Now what?”
Nobody told you about this part.
Still On GLP-1 picks up exactly where the first book left off, because your journey did not end when the weight came off. This is the maintenance phase. The identity shift. The weird grief of leaving behind a version of yourself you lived inside for decades. The science nobody fully explained. The community that keeps showing up.
This is not a victory lap. This is what staying looks like.
After losing 90 pounds on GLP-1 medications and spending years inside this community through his blog and podcast, Scott Johnson has heard every question, every fear, and every “wait, is this normal?” moment that comes with long-term use. This book is his honest answer to all of it. The emotional complexity of reaching your goal and not feeling what you thought you would feel. The identity work nobody warned you about. The real science of what these medications are doing to your heart, your brain, and your long-term health, explained the way a smart friend explains things.
And yes, there are still awkward moments. Still real stories. Still the kind of honesty that makes you feel like you are not alone in that fitting room.
This is not another weight loss book. You already lost the weight. This is the book about what you do with a life that finally feels like yours.
Zero judgment. A lot of truth. Enough humor to make the hard parts survivable.
You are not alone. You are not broken. And, You are not done.
My Life on GLP-1
GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro, Zepbound, and Ozempic are changing lives, but nobody’s talking about the real ride. The food noise that finally shuts up. The nausea that won’t. The dreams, the burps, the breakthroughs. The last ten pounds that won’t budge. The guilt. The joy. The unexpected peace.
This isn’t a brochure. It’s not a medical manual. It’s what I wish someone had handed me when I started. Part guide, part pep talk, part hilarious cautionary tale, this book is a judgment-free survival kit for anyone on a GLP-1 journey.
This book is your next best dose of honesty no matter where you are on your journey.
You’re not broken.
You’re not alone.
And, You’re just getting started.
Two years ago, I started a GLP-1 medication thinking it would just shrink my waistline. Instead, it changed everything.
From burping at the worst moments to realizing I had the resilience of a raccoon in a windstorm, this journey has been raw, ridiculous, and ridiculously rewarding. What began as a simple weight loss strategy became an unexpected voyage of self-discovery that challenged everything I thought I knew about myself.
This book is for anyone who has ever stared down a scale, doubted themselves in the mirror, or wondered if it is too late to rewrite their story.
My Life on GLP-1 is not a medical guide or sugar-coated success tale. This is real talk about what it feels like to be on this wild ride. From the awkward early side effects that nobody warns you about to the unexpected wins that surprise you at 2 AM, this memoir captures the full spectrum of the GLP-1 experience.
Whether you are navigating your own GLP-1 journey with medications like Zepbound, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, or you are thinking about starting, this book will make you laugh, nod in recognition, maybe cry a little, and most importantly, feel less alone in your transformation.
