Dose step-back when side effects outpace results is a reasonable call - it's not regression. Loss slows but the benefits continue, and skin elasticity responds better to a slower pace than a fast drop anyway.

The brain takes longer to update than the body - still seeing the old size is common.

SW 203 to CW 123 is an 80-lb result and the lipid panel following the loss is the metabolic outcome skeptics tend to miss. Almost a year of sema then another 50+ lb push is a two-phase arc worth tracking.

Ugh, I remember those first few weeks. Ozempic hit me hard too, and honestly, I pretty much lived on plain oatmeal and toast for like, two weeks because it was the only thing that would stay down (hence my username lol). Like everyone said already, starting out at 0.5 instead of 0.25 is pretty...

Try adding some electrolyte drops to your water. Staying hydrated with electrolytes makes a huge difference, especially in the first couple days after your shot. I stopped getting headaches once I started doing that. You can also try a tiny bit of sea salt under your tongue a few times a day...

The late-night snacking is probably why you aren't losing weight. The lack of activity isn't helping either. Late-night eating made me gain weight. Now, I don't eat anything after 4 or 5pm. I get enough fat and protein to feel full. I eat maybe 1400 calories a day and very few processed carbs...

Movement is important while on GLP-1 meds, not necessarily for weight loss, but for keeping your muscles. These meds can cause you to lose muscle if you don't get enough protein and use what you have. I'm disabled, so moving is difficult. I lost 90lbs in the first year on .25 then .50, but also...

Thanks everyone for the kind words! To answer a few questions: Yes, I have so much more energy! I can actually keep up with my kids now. And I'm sleeping better too. As for tips Micro-Doser, honestly, just stick with the program and be patient. The weight will come off.

They also stop because PP realizes they're selling peptides and freezes their accounts. That's what I've been told. And that's why you can't use crypto bought directly from PP - gotta send it to another wallet first. I just use Kraken to buy it, helps me avoid impulse buys. Unless I ask someone...

That's a super achievement!

I just placed an order with one spot and was told PP is temporarily on pause. So I ended up using Bitcoin. They also support Alipay and that other one that starts with an A. Another place I use takes Alipay too, but Alibaba is temporarily down. Another place takes PP though.

I feel so lucky that this has worked out. I'm starting to glimpse what life after weight loss looks like. People are noticing and saying really nice things, which feels amazing, even though I still have trouble seeing it myself sometimes. Sharing this as a reminder to everyone - keep going! You...

OMG Compound thank you SO much for the advice about the stairs! That's totally something my husband could do! He's been feeling down on himself lately, but I think those little wins could really help him. I think he would like reta better than tirz. He needs something to kickstart his weight loss.

This is great info. I think my hubby needs to try this. Tirzepatide doesn't seem to be working for him anymore. He's a bigger guy around 300 with a bit of belly fat (don't tell him I said that, haha), so this could really help. The only thing is he works from home and sits at a desk, so he's not...

Totally! Makes it so easy. Congrats on your weight loss!
