The GLP-2 pathway in bone is the mechanism - early osteoblast data is promising but clinical significance at typical doses is still unclear.

Not eating exercise calories back is the most consistent correction - it keeps the math honest regardless of how much the GLP-1 handles the appetite side.

used to fall constantly when i was heavier—tripping stairs, flat surfaces, ice was brutal. after swimming and ballet for years, i think i just forgot how to move at that weight. doesn't happen now. love wearing single-digit jeans that zip up easy. not overheating anymore either.

Self-pay clarifies the calculus fast - who funds it themselves tracks efficacy more closely and makes more deliberate dose decisions.

You sound like my oldest daughter. She's been taking it for almost 3 years. She lost about 20lb the first year and hasn't lost any more since then. My other daughter and I are on it and we lost weight really fast. My oldest daughter eats healthy and exercises a lot. My other daughter eats junk...

Totally agree with this! I had a really bad experience when I ate a burger with fries on this med, i will stick to chicken and rice now haha

Missing an occasional dose of sermorelin or other peptides isn't a huge deal. Just resume your regular schedule when you can. Don't stress about it setting you back significantly.

Losing 41 lbs in 3 months is amazing! The cold thing is definitely real - I keep a blanket with me everywhere now, haha. Your tips are great, especially about eating clean. Eating greasy food while on this med is a mistake you only make once.

It sounds like it was doing something for you last year! 20lbs is still a big improvement to your health, even if it wasn't the crazy results your doc was hoping for. I've dropped about 35lbs while taking it. I eat smaller portions than before and don't binge as much (except around certain...

It didn't work for me until I reached 2 mg, about 5 months in. Be patient!

There's no "good" or "bad" pace. It's not a competition. Losing weight quickly can actually be less healthy than losing it slowly. You're doing perfectly fine. It's not too slow. People who are losing weight often don't notice the difference themselves. I don't either. But that doesn't mean...

I wish it helped my focus. Still gotta take my ADHD meds.

I was on 7 different BP meds and scheduled for renal denervation. 65 lbs lost, plus the GLP-1 brought me down to normal blood pressure and just a couple of the BP meds. My cardiologist gave the GLP-1 credit and I don't have to go see them anymore for BP issues.

It's also the ideal pace for maintaining good skin elasticity.

It seems to amplify my depression.
