Side effects can be managed and even prevented. Five months in, fatigue is the only thing I've felt since day 3. Evening magnesium glycinate plus lots of water has, I believe, prevented constipation. Stay on the lower doses as long as they work before moving up. I spent about two months on 2.5mg...

Mine is awful. Almost a year on Reta and I can't summon interest in anything, and getting to the gym is a struggle, which I used to hit 4-5 days religiously. It resembles major depression, but I'm thrilled to be the smallest in 30 years with lower blood sugar so I'm putting up with it. I'm...

HealthLoss I dropped tirz for Reta directly, then came back to tirz a few months on, since weight fell off yet my appetite stayed loud and the food noise stayed. Reta got titrated to 8mg, and then I jumped right back to tirz at 5mg.

Only 1 kg came off up to reaching 2 mg, yet within a month on 2 mg, 4 kg disappeared. Give semaglutide time and stay patient.

Hypothyroidism here, and Wegovy since mid January, three months at 2.4mg so far. I'm down 53 lbs, although early on my body hated me because I was also taking a large Metformin dose. Prediabetes is gone now, which means Metformin is done, and my loss has slowed.

I'd suggest sticking with .25 for four weeks minimum, longer if results show up. Next comes .5, held a month at the least, more if it's going well. Whether to try .75 before 1mg is your call. That's how I did it this round on Ozempic, and my loss stays steady. Diabetes is my reason too and my...

If nothing is moving even at 2.5mg, it's probably your food, likely you're overeating still! If you're willing to share your height and weight, I could tell you my approach.

My face got much thinner, which I think makes me look a bit younger, though I'm older and it highlights lines I already had. At this stage of life I don't care much about that. At a clinic visit last week the woman said she nearly didn't recognize me. About 35 lb are gone since March, so she...

My size went from a 14 down to a zero and I'm approaching three years of maintaining. Anything that would look dated got tossed, two favorite pairs of jeans and a few comfy undies stayed, and the rest went to donation. Even though I'm maintaining well, my habits feel too recent to let go of...

Nikki_92 When I'm not fuelling well enough, I crave sweet, sugary, rich food. Are you counting calories? Could your deficit be too big? Lock in protein, fibre and water, and eat enough. Track cravings and hungrier days for patterns, which could hint at hormonal links. I'm on 5mg, 5 months in...

Not CJC/Ipa for me, but Tesa and Ipa together also ruined my sleep. I tried each one alone before bed and both still hurt my sleep. Moving both to morning fixed it, and I still saw results through the cycle. Ipa stayed twice a day, with the second dose taken fasted around mid afternoon instead...

My own target is 140 lbs, a BMI near 24.8, and we will see from there. I care more about keeping muscle than losing fat. Function over appearance, though looking great would not hurt.

Four mg of reta went in this morning, and then a 27km run. The marathon is close, and my weight keeps falling.

Same reason I take it. It helped somewhat for roughly five weeks (I didn't really want it, or felt fine drinking way less), but the cravings have come back lately. I'm in week 7 at .4mg.

Same for me. I also held my dose until I stopped losing at that level. I may be a hyper-responder, since climbing to 1 mg was never necessary. Total loss was 50 pounds over roughly a year, slowly.
