The prescription sitting in the fridge is the hardest step - the first injection is usually anticlimactic compared to the buildup, and the manageable side effects at 0.25mg make the first week much less dramatic than people expect.

B12 injections bypass the absorption problem that oral supplements can't fix - subQ methylcobalamin is the standard approach when the number isn't moving.

The stall after 45 lbs is usually TDEE recalculation lag - maintenance at the new weight needs more calories than the old deficit. High-protein density foods are the right tool, but the stall math is often a calorie target problem first.

Don't skip the shot. No bad side effects, just no dopamine hits from drinking so you drink significantly less.

I've injected before bed and first thing in the morning, and I haven't noticed any difference in side effects or anything else.

I still drink like I used to, which is…a lot. No side effects for me. Although, I have switched to less acidic mixed drinks because I think my acid reflux has gotten a little worse. Currently my drink of choice is a vanilla protein shake White Russian

Definitely do the first injection during the day. After that, I prefer right before going to bed. I like to inject my GLP on Sunday so any icky feelings wear off before the weekend rolls around lol

I've hit my goal weight too. Kinda weird. I guess I should lift more weights like that Reddit thread said? Is that really important?

Incredible work! How tall are you?

Wouldn't adding sema to Reta be a better idea? That way you're not messing with the GIP receptor.

Wow, where did that 100 pounds even come from? Huge congratulations! 🎉👏

I'm finding that I don't feel hungry anymore, and it's hard to motivate myself to cook. I end up skipping meals or eating junk. Any ideas for really easy dinners?

💯 agree! Merry Christmas and congratulations you look fabulous

Big congrats! You're beaming, and you look fantastic. Enjoy the Christmas season and all the delicious food it brings, keep up the great work.

This gives me hope! I just started and I'm down about 10lbs! It's so cool to see what's possible.
