Small soft cooler with a freezable ice pack handles a week fine - sema pens are stable at room temperature for up to 28 days once opened, so the cooler is a precaution. TSA allows injectable medications with ice packs, no issues.

Collagen with whey covers what either alone leaves out - the connective tissue support that a pure whey stack skips.

MacroFactor's adaptive TDEE is the right fit for GLP-1 users - static calorie targets go stale as intake drops. The loop feedback matters more than the starting number.

Hey Well-Babe, every bit counts!

Congrats! Seeing those numbers drop is an amazing feeling. Keep up the fantastic work!

Congrats! Needing new, smaller clothes is a great problem to have.

That's incredible!! Did you incorporate any exercise this month? Just curious since I'm on week 2. Either way, I'm super happy for you!!

For anyone who is considering starting the medication, if you do not have other health problems and you managed to lose weight, taking you below the BMI level needed to qualify, how can you get a doctor to keep prescribing it? I am new to this.

I agree. I'm fairly smart, but I can't control food cravings. Ozempic fixed that, so my rational side could take over and make better choices. Some people have metabolic problems, but many of us struggle with cravings and our lizard brain always wanting to EAT! We literally eat ourselves into...

Thanks for asking. Terry_40 No just the Ozempic

Thanks everyone! Terry_40 yeah, that's the plan!

Just got back from the doc! My A1c was a crazy high 13% three months ago. I've been on a tiny dose of .25 of this stuff for a month, and now it's down to 8%! I also dropped about 6 pounds! Feeling really grateful for this medication.

Amazing transformations! You look incredible!

My starting weight was similar to yours, but I'm stuck around 214. Any tips? You're doing awesome!

Oh yeah, definitely had plateaus. A couple of times I adjusted my dose with my doctor and that helped. Sometimes I just had to be patient and keep going.
