    GLP-1s: Worth it for smaller weight loss?

    35 pounds is enough to meaningfully change metabolic markers and how you move through the day - the threshold for 'worth it' has nothing to do with total pounds lost.

    A year of weight loss shots!

    Extending Wegovy to every 9-10 days works for a lot of people without losing the suppression - the half-life is long enough that 8-12 day intervals still maintain meaningful trough levels.

    Period cravings on GLP-1s?

    Period cravings on GLP-1s?

    Talking GLP-1s with Your Doctor

    YES. I run IGF-1 every time I change anything peptide-related. Way too many people inject stuff and just "hope" it's working. Also co-sign on stopping before surgery. My anesthesiologist specifically asked about GLP-1s at check-in.

    Eloralintide: Amylin agonist!

    I agree with Sage_1999, don't ditch the cagri too fast. I get good results with it. Plus, stacking peptides can sometimes lead to unexpected results, so start low and go slow!

    Wedding dress revisited!

    In response to pinch-an-inch's question... I've seen studies showing that even a 5-10% reduction in body weight can have significant health benefits, like improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Might be worth getting checked out by your doctor, Sub_Donut137, to see what's changed!

    GLP-1s: Confidence boost & fewer SEs!
