Hey, saw this posted elsewhere. I've been on GLP-1s for nearly 3 years, down 100lbs. I struggled to get enough protein in the beginning. Someone made a tool to help plan out high-protein stuff some.website Maybe it will help?

These aren't fat burners. They won't melt fat or rev your metabolism. What they do: quiet the food noise, make you feel full quicker, keep you satisfied longer. They make diets bearable and sustainable. This stuff will help you stick to a real plan. But it won't replace diet and moving more—you...

The emotional eating aspect was huge for me. I used to eat whenever I was bored or stressed without even realizing it. On tirz, that urge just kind of faded. I still notice it sometimes but I can stop myself now. That part honestly surprised me more than the weight coming off.

I ordered from a domestic warehouse option and had no issues. Came packaged differently and nothing flagged. Worth it if customs is a concern.

It's such a real thing - the scale moves but the mirror is slow to catch up. I remember being at a lower number and still grabbing the same size jeans out of habit. Bodies tend to lose proportionally at first, so nothing looks dramatically different until you cross a threshold. Give it more time...

had lipedema surgeries and was told weight loss on my own was impossible. dropped 65lbs with semaglutide a year after the surgeries. they changed my body in ways i can't fix. wish i'd tried glp first but this was before they were available. trying not to live with regret.

i'm one of those reddit people who got scared — that's why i'm here reading every day. senior on fixed income so the brand-name prices scare me. i have compounded stocked and comfortable with that.

Anyone else crave junk food like crazy? Some days yogurt and salad sound impossible but I could demolish a Big Mac.

glow-up, if you look at my first post in this thread, the clicks for 1.5 are there! It's 55 clicks for 1.5mg using the 2mg pen

know exactly what you mean about cravings. with sema and tirz both it's like an inner tickle that won't stop until you give in. and then when it's gone there's no dopamine rush so you feel empty. anyone got a fix for that?

Paying out of pocket, you can get zepbound (tirzepatide like mounjaro) from the manufacturer's pharmacy for $500 monthly. I heard warehouse stores have some kind of deal where the pens are $500 each, but not sure how it works. If you're in maintenance, look into the oral options. With a...

I'd suggest stepping up to 1.5mg and splitting that dose for about a month. Then, split the 2mg dose for another month before trying 2mg all at once. I've found that splitting the dose helps minimize side effects and keeps the medication level more stable. Counting clicks works just fine; no...

You can snag the highest Ozempic doses at Sam's Club and Costco without insurance for around $500 now. No need to wait 'til 2027.

You didn't say where you live, so it's hard to give accurate cost information!
