60 lbs gone is incredible, same as FunkyBetter!

The road-route workaround for Vancouver customs is a real trade-off - slower but avoiding a known chokepoint is often the right call during a crackdown period.

Moving from MJ to reta with a pre-existing HR condition worth tracking carefully - reta's mechanism is different enough that some people who had HR issues on tirz find it more manageable, but the baseline monitoring protocol your GP has in place is the right approach either way.

Has anyone switched to Reta after being on 15mg of MJ? How did it go? Did you start with a lower dose? I'm currently trying out TIRZ and also ordered something to stack with it, but I haven't lost any weight in months, even though I'm doing everything right. I'm thinking maybe it's time to...

Reta - from that site I mentioned before.

Based on what I've been reading...

Wow, congrats on the weight loss! How's the tapering process going?

Interesting. A patient mentioned to me that soon after they started on Mounjaro, after over a decade of seriously trying, they finally lost interest in cigarettes. Didn’t use any patches or other aids, the desire simply vanished.

Dude! It happened to me twice this week. Two different women checked me out and smiled. I'm not used to that kind of attention. I'm married and in my 50's but I still thought it was fun. I've also had a few people say, "you look great" lately. The kind of friends who would also say "you look...

I totally agree with that statement about grey market GLP-1s being a no-brainer. But it's harder to justify at full retail prices. Every cost-effectiveness analysis I've seen says they're too expensive per QALY gained (quality of life year) until they get much cheaper. If that changes...

Yup. If you're struggling to quit and have tried other methods without success, it's worth exploring (if you can afford it). It's like a mental reset, and you may not even miss it. But, on 2.5mg during month three (so not a full dose), the alcohol cravings have made a small comeback, not daily...

I tried to post a graph from the article, but it didn't work. It's in the journal article if you want to check it out. I've uploaded PDFs before, so I'm not sure why the image isn't working.

I saw this interesting study recently: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(26)00043-X/fulltext It suggests that people might only put back around 75% of what they initially lost on GLP-1s, which translates to an overall long-term weight reduction of about 5%. It's...

Tesamorelin is mainly prescribed for HIV patients with too much stomach fat. I've only heard of Ipamorelin being combined with Sermorelin for other cases. Tesa is fairly strong on its own, from what I've read.

5-amino-1mq is water soluble. I'm currently experimenting with it and kisspeptin-10 and everything seems fine.
