That's genuinely impressive! Wish I'd gotten similar results with this blue stuff, but nothing's happened for me. Folks around here keep telling me to hang in there and stick with it for half a year before judging the results.
Honestly, could go either way. If you're not seeing any...
Planning on surgery once I hit my target weight. Probably giving it six to twelve months in maintenance first before going for it. Feel like I'll have put in way too much work not to end up with the body I actually want at the finish line. Though right now I'm honestly kind of enjoying tugging...
I'm running Tirz these days, Reta just didn't do anything for me. Mind sharing the amounts and timing when you run both Reta and Tirz together? Interested in giving that a try.
Kicked things off six weeks back with the fifth and first compounds. Feeling fantastic so far with solid appetite control. Began the fifth compound at .50 mg for the first month, then bumped to 1mg roughly three weeks ago (still going well). Curious about trying the mitochondrial peptide next...
Hey, another check-in. On the 0.5 dose now, 14 pounds gone total. Think the side effects are catching up with me though - ten straight days of feeling completely drained, all I want to do is sleep :(
Started at a lower weight than a lot of people here. Mind sharing your height? The starting point here was a bit higher, and the target sits at 65kg rather than 55.
Worth keeping in mind, the first several kilos tend to drop faster and easier than the last stretch, medication or not.
One week in for me. Just a tiny bit of nausea so far, that's really it. Going well so far. Hoping it's still doing its job even without noticeable symptoms.
the chia gel prep is one of the better fiber hacks for early GLP-1 use - mixing ahead of time and adding it to food rather than consuming it dry means the fiber is already doing its water-holding job before it hits your gut. anxiety about starting is normal and tends to peak before the first...
the 2nd or 3rd dose timeline for really feeling the suppression is pretty standard, ya know? the first couple can feel like nothing much is happening and then it clicks. protein and water in the meantime is the whole game - gonna make a difference even when appetite isn't fully online yet.
5 weeks and already seeing the mood improvement alongside the facial flushing, feeling cold a lot - the early mixed bag where some effects show up fast and others take months. switching from Ozempic to this at the dr's recommendation for T2D is probably gonna look a lot different at 12 months...
6 lbs on Ozempic over 6 months and then 22 in 4 months on Mounjaro is the dual-mechanism story in numbers. some people just don't respond to sema the same way and the GIP angle changes the whole picture. ya know what, 62F at 189 toward 35-40 down is a perfectly reasonable goal and 22 already is...
the root cause framing is the shift that makes the long-term commitment question feel different. it's not 'staying on medication forever' - it's 'managing a chronic condition that doesn't go away when symptoms do.' ya know, nobody asks diabetics if they're going to commit to insulin long term...
gonna sound familiar to a lot of people, ya know? end-of-week hunger creeping back on weekly dosing is the half-life signal. switching to every 6 days instead of every 7 is one of the first adjustments worth trying before moving up the dose. the hunger window tells you more about what the dose...
the noob question is worth asking though y'all, cause getting the reconstitution math wrong is gonna mess with your dose calculations. 2.6ml of BAC water pulled from a 3ml vial is probably fine - you're not gonna get every last drop out. what matters is knowing exactly how much you added so your...
