Started adding reta when my weight loss plateaued - felt like I needed that extra push. Running a low dose and ramping up makes sense to me. The combo works different for everyone, but stalling at 41 is where you want to adjust something. Good call experimenting before jumping up too far.

Outstanding effort! Well done. 👍

I've heard it can really take a while to kick in for some people. Saw a post on Reddit where someone said they didn't feel anything for the first couple of months on Rybelsus, then BAM! Appetite control just showed up. Hang in there!

You look incredible!

I’m two days into Rybelsus and already down a few. I’m sure it’s mostly bloat and water, but I'll still take it! I feel like my system is finally calming down. Happy to see that.

:eyes: Glad you escaped that tiger!

I've been reading about BPC-157 for joint pain. Anyone have experience using it for knee pain or old injuries? I see it's available in pill form; is that just as effective as injections?

keen to hear anyone's experience with this too

I'm SO happy for you!!! I swear, these meds have some kind of mental health boost too. My anxiety is way better. I feel calmer, and I have more energy.

I feel you! Putting on old jeans is my quick fix when I feel this way. Reminds me that I DID lose the weight.

You're crushing it! Weight loss messes with your head. Some days you feel amazing and see progress, other days you feel blah, and your reflection looks the same. Usually happens when the scale isn't moving much, or Aunt Flo is visiting. Lipedema makes it even harder. I have it in my thighs...

That's fantastic! I agree completely. It's a virtuous cycle - the medication helps you lose weight, which makes exercise easier, which further enhances the weight loss and overall health.

You look fantastic. ❤️ What a transformation!

Wow, just AMAZING!! 💪 😁

I've heard some people have success managing food noise after stopping GLP-1s by really limiting simple carbs and sugar. Apparently sugar feeds bad gut bacteria, making cravings worse.
