The afternoon fatigue on Reta in the early weeks is one of the most consistent reports. The narcolepsy feeling front-loads in the first 2-4 weeks then settles significantly. Pinning time affects it: morning injection means the fatigue peak hits daytime; evening pins shift the worst of it closer...

Metformin plus MJ has supporting data. The insulin sensitization effect adds something beyond what tirz does alone.

The resources piece is one of the most underrated parts of sharing a journey like this - other people in the right places at the right time can completely change the trajectory. Progress that specific and that visible is motivating in both directions.

Hey Quirky_Goals, have you noticed any changes in your face? I think my face looks slimmer and more defined already.

Yesss girl!! I had my 6th dose a couple of days ago and I'm already down 13 pounds. So glad your boyfriend is so supportive, it makes a difference when you have that encouraging voice!

first injection is tomorrow and I'm freaking out. ate pasta and breadsticks tonight and now I'm wondering if that's gonna wreck me. it's like 24 hours out from injection time. starting at 0.25 and took the weekend plus monday off work just in case. trying not to talk myself out of this - been...

VO2 max work sounds intense. Before I started, hard swimming + insulin resistance = carb cravings and weight gain. Might not be your issue but intense cardio wrecked me when I was still carrying weight and resistant. In active loss, I dialed way back on exercise to eat less easier. BMI 30 to 24...

I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary on Mounjaro. Started at 220, now at 165. It's been a journey!

How long has it taken you to lose?

was 358 when i started in february at 2.5mg, took it before bed and had to force myself to eat the next couple days. felt it hard for over 48 hours, then some for 6 days. now at 7.5mg and down 25ish pounds, don't feel it till day 3 or 4 and it only lasts a day or two.

And you look much healthier now! Congrats, keep it up!

week 2 is rough for most people, your body's still adjusting. cramping and bloating should ease up as you get used to it. fiber might help if you think it will. don't stress too much about hair loss this early — that usually shows up later with rapid weight loss if at all.

Weight training, time, and surgery for me. Went 5'3", 226 down to 127. Got a breast reduction + lift around 70 down. Light weights + cardio during loss. Hydrate, dry brush skin weekly. Face work later with Botox + fillers. 20 months total, 33F, no kids.

Don't jump the dose if you're still dropping. Give yourself time to get the most out of where you are before going higher. If you stall for over 3 weeks, then consider upping. Takes about 4 weeks for your levels to balance after a dose increase—be patient and you'll see if it's actually working.

Was on Ozempic for like 4 years till Medicare cut their assistance. Took a month off, then started tirz. Started Ozempic at 385, ended at 230. Month off, jumped to 240, now at 250. My sister passed and I stress-ate hard. Wasn't getting appetite suppression so easy to overeat. Started Oz with A1c...
