How have you responded to a GLP-1?

Since last august I've lost about 40 pounds (went from 235 to 195) at 6'2'' I had just kind of casually "bulking" for years training strength and realized I had kind of gotten out of control so I made some changes to my eating and saw some really good success.

I've still got a little bit of a belly and have petered out on weight loss at what I think of as being a maintainable lifestyle (eating good but tasty meals, occasionally having something sweet and hyper palatable) and I don't really have a desire to change my lifestyle MORE than I have but I'm also not really shedding this and I'd like to get down another 10-15 so I can get shredded enough (temporarily) to lose the adipose tissue and improve my overall hormone signaling and body comp.

I don't want to be shredded for the long term mind you, I would probably want to come back up in my weight and re-feed a little bit, but I want to get rid of the extraneous belly fat and get to a more healthy overall composition, and shedding this will take a lot of dedicated eating to get my body to signal to my reciptors that they can free up these fat cells (or I can just trick them with a GLP-1 and they'll burn much more normally).

I'm thinking of asking my doctor about going on GLP-1s for a quarter or something to get me over that hump, just wondering what people's experiences are using these drugs.
