Twenty days is a solid window to dial in - enough time to see how each increment actually settles without rushing the titration.

Starting at 330 lbs and doing it anyway is the move. The first shot is the hardest part.

Just keep reminding yourself how far you have already come. Some people post progress pics when they are in a stall to keep themselves from getting down.

Two weeks isn't a stall; it's a normal plateau, especially after losing a good amount of weight in a short amount of time. Your body is just adjusting to the changes. It sounds like your calorie intake might be too low. Eating only around 1300 calories each day at 5'1" while walking 10k steps...

I read somewhere that cutting your dose in half for about a week or two, then returning to your normal dose sometimes works.

if you have a single-dose 15mg pen and you've been off it 9 months, don't jump right back to 15mg. gotta start lower and ramp up or you're gonna have a rough time. keep it refrigerated and titrate back up before the expiration date.

started at 2.5mg two sundays ago and dropped 7 lbs the first week. averaged about 1700 calories daily even though my app said 2124 was okay for my goal rate, aimed for 10k steps. week 2's the same. hit nausea waves for 5 days then it backs off. can live with it.

Eggs as a GLP-1 trigger is more common than it should be given the protein density - the sulfur smell hits the nausea response harder than most foods. A year out and still holding means the aversion likely set rather than faded.

struggling with semaglutide? ask your doc about tirzepatide if insurance covers it. way more people report fewer side effects on that one.

never heard of vegusen but just talked to a friend about khavinson complexes — apparently vegusen's part of that. gotta read more. for anyone googling — vegusen's a bio regulator peptide complex, injectable. amino usa has decent prices

Two years...

it's just random stuff from china hoping it's the right thing. could be underdosed, overdosed, who even knows if it's actually what they say. probably better luck next vendor.

It's been about 3 months for me. I see increasing the dosage as something to avoid, not something to speed up.

i stalled 8 lbs from goal for 5 weeks on sema, figured it was stubborn fat. dexa showed 70% water weight from starting creatine. actual fat loss kept tracking fine. check your measurements when the scale freezes.

week 2 and barely any side effects except nausea if i skip meals. thing is, my skin kinda hurts all over? not burning or itchy, just this weird mild pain everywhere. anyone else get that?
