Plateau after significant loss is common - the body recalibrates to defend the new weight. If 75 lbs works for you, that's a valid stopping point.

Lipomas develop over years - the timeline alone rules out a short peptide run as the cause.

Most run cagri from 0.3mg up with slow steps - the appetite effects layer on what's already working, which is why small increments matter.

Fried food messes with this dose because digestion's slower—all that grease just sits and triggers nausea hard. Keep it light, eat small, sips of water, ginger or mint tea. Diet change matters way more than switching injection sites.

Anyone else use THC? I've found that even though my appetite is reduced overall, if I use cannabis, the munchies can overpower the medication. I try to use it later in the evening so I can just go to sleep before the munchies kick in!

What dose are you on?

I miss my morning coffee. Now it's just...gross.

I haven't told many people I am on this medication. People can be so judgy. It's no one's business.

Great job!!!

Thanks for the tips! I've been having some issues. I'll grab some tea later.

Wishing you the best! I just did my fourth injection today.

I've read that even if the scale isn't moving, you can still be seeing changes in your body composition. Maybe consider getting a DEXA scan to track muscle gain and fat loss?

Look into something called the 'woosh effect'. It might be what you're experiencing.

That's a really good point. I'm planning a trip to Asia soon, and I'm already stressed about what to do with the used needles. I saw a reddit thread about this... I think I might just collect them in a small, sturdy container and bring them back home. Seems like the easiest option.

Yeah, my big worry with traveling is the temperature. Does Ozempic absolutely have to be kept cold?
