Dealing with this exact thing right now. Took 2.5 for well over twelve months, lost 30 pounds, but the noise started creeping back in. Just moved to 5mg two weeks ago and haven't felt much shift yet. Get full sometimes, but food's still on my mind a lot. Going to give it a full month before...

Same here! Not dropping pounds, closing in on ten months now. But a bunch of my clothes have gotten really loose, almost to the point I've stopped wearing some of them. Really strange. Also pretty frustrating honestly.

Congrats on shedding the weight! 30kg is an enormous accomplishment. Totally relate to the mirror lag, sometimes your mind just needs extra time to catch up with what your body's already done. Grabbing transitional pieces makes sense, no reason to splurge on nice clothes while you're still...

Most people go through extended nausea during pregnancy regardless. Odds are this traces back to the pregnancy itself rather than the medication you stopped. The drug's half-life is roughly a week, so past five weeks since quitting, it's essentially out of your system entirely. Sounds like...

100%. Expect both good stretches and rough patches, but honestly the whole ride's been worth it! Down 46 pounds across 13 weeks! I'd rather deal with feeling a bit off and drained temporarily than stay exhausted and unwell every single day for decades to come by staying morbidly obese. You've...

The numbers showed people averaging a 15 to 25% drop in body weight. A handful of hyper-responders exist, but the majority of folks I'm aware of using this medication, myself included, lost a meaningful amount without getting anywhere close to our supposed 'ideal' BMI. Over four years I've...

This drug class cuts alcohol cravings, and since it already slows how fast the stomach empties, drinking can hit harder than it used to. Wouldn't personally recommend smoking cannabis while on it either, though that runs through an entirely different mechanism than the one mainly driving...

Worth considering whether your clothes were snug before and now just fit comfortably. Also possible they're getting genuinely oversized but still feel okay simply because nothing's falling off you outright. Trying on a smaller size might actually surprise you with a better fit than what you've...

Having trouble sleeping after my first reta dose (0.5mg this past Sunday). Felt weirdly 'wired' if that makes sense. Frustrating because besides that, barely any actual benefits yet.

I'm brand new to GLP meds, but years back I naturally slimmed down (25lb) and held that weight steady until starting an SSRI two years ago. Since then snacking and portions spiraled and I'm at my heaviest ever. Hits two weeks tomorrow on 0.25mg wegovy and I'm 6lb lighter already. Based on what...

Honestly, all vial sizes have their fans, but I think it really comes down to dosing and storage habits. General guidance is to keep a mixed vial for around a month, mainly for sterility and potency reasons. At the top clinical amount, a larger vial basically lasts about a month, but at half...

This is so true. I'm running Tesa plus the fourth peptide and getting the deepest, most restful sleep of my life every single night, yet reading through this thread it sounds like plenty of people are dealing with the exact opposite!

So you've got a full week before the trip starts? Different story if you were leaving sooner, but if the lowest dose gives you rough side effects from one shot, they should be completely gone well before departure. If that ends up being the case, just push dose number two back by several days...

Really resonates, seeing myself in a lot of what you've described. About 10kg, 22 pounds, from goal, shifting a bit as I get closer. Used to be dead set on quitting cold turkey once I arrived, that's flip-flopped a lot, but now I get I can't just stop if I want to hold onto everything gained...

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