Right - this is the hard truth nobody wants to hear. I watched people come off meds thinking the weight would stay. It doesn't. The math is simple: if you go back to eating like before, the weight comes back. Meds are a tool to break old habits, not replace them. That's the real work.

I'm also trying to get down to 170-180. How are you doing it? I've been stuck at the same weight for a month now.

Great job!

Congrats! We have similar starting and goal weights. Thanks for the motivation!

Hey Trail_05, any tips for avoiding nausea? I'm only on my second week, and I'm a little worried about it.

Congrats!! You look incredible, and I hope you're feeling just as good. I had my first shot Thursday evening. Thankfully, I haven't had any bad side effects except for a slight headache (but I always have headaches, so I'm not sure if it's the shot or just me)….and I'm so thankful for that - I...

I think I'm going to try a really low dose when I get to my goal weight. Like someone said, maybe just enough to take the edge off without killing my motivation. I'm gonna try to keep lifting weights as non-negotiable, no matter what.

This is so important. Bias in = biased results out. Also: how did they stop the medication? Every FDA study I've seen stops at the therapeutic dose to zero. (Therapeutic doesn't mean the highest dose.) If a doctor stopped an SSRI the same way, it would be malpractice. Maybe some people can...

That's awesome! You know what I'm loving the most? My girls. I'm so glad they're shrinking back down. No more side boob for me. LOL

This is true for all weight loss. The problem isn't the meds. It's that we live in a time of overabundance, where convenience is cheaper and easier than back when food was just fuel. I've seen friends have bypass surgery and change nothing else, so their results are only temporary. The mindset...

I asked ChaptGPT what a maintenance dose would be if I reached my goal weight using 4mg a week. It said 8mg. 🙄

It's the same with any diet. Weight Watchers, keto, whatever. Go back to your old ways, and you'll go back to your old weight.

Fresh off the press, folks. Study says what we all suspected: Coming off weight-loss meds leads to weight piling back on, and screws with your heart health. We're talking almost a pound a month creeping back, and poof, all that hard work undone in two years. They also found that ditching the...

I was looking into Gonadorelin. I'm a total noob with this peptide... never used it before. Seems more available recently. I decided it's not a replacement for HCG for me. Too many injections per day. But... could this be used for a quick boost? Like before a competition or something?

Thanks! I'll try that. Standing more is tough at my desk job but I'll try to get up and walk around every hour.
