Week 8 stall on Reta is common. If hunger control is still working at 3mg, hold. If it has slipped, bump to 4mg.

The same outfit moment is one that sticks. Congrats.

Switching from Ozempic to Mounjaro at a plateau is exactly the right call.

I respectfully disagree. While weightlifting is beneficial, it's not the ONLY way to maintain muscle mass. Dr. Ross Arena has written about the importance of combining GLP-1 medications with both resistance and aerobic exercise for overall health. It's about finding a balance and what works best...

Find something you enjoy, or at least tolerate. I like walking my dogs, swimming, and bike rides. I also use resistance bands at home for short bursts throughout the day. I don't love it, but breaking it up makes it doable. Start small, with achievable goals. You don't need to kill yourself in...

Haha, you didn't read the small print, ProteinQueen_90. It says the monthly cost in the US is in 1901 dollars!

You can drop the "think," Patti_Real. 😉

I hear you, Slim_FTW. They put so much money into research, and a lot of it doesn't pan out. Still...

My doctor is really impressed with how completely sema has changed my cravings. I used to binge eat all the time, and now I just... don't. Maybe you were binge-eating and drinking, and the ozempic is fixing both at once?

Consider a lower dose and focus on protein and fats when you are eating. My father is losing too much weight while on tirzepatide but his doctor wants to keep him on his current dose a little longer for his diabetes, so he is eating spoonfuls of peanut butter, red meat, cheese, etc. Whatever you...

Thanks BlairPlus! That peptide calculator looks really useful. I'm going to bookmark that.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I think I'll toss it just to be safe. Redness at the injection site is a good enough reason to be cautious.

It's wild how we often don't notice the changes in our own bodies as quickly as others do. I've only shed about 15 pounds myself, and I don't see any difference, but my partner says my neck looks thinner. Congrats, GingerChews4Life! Keep up the awesome work!

I've been using the same vial of bac water for nearly two months now, and I've refilled my peptide vials maybe three times. How long is it really safe to use after you've stuck a needle in it, especially when kept in the fridge? I'm asking because I'm seeing some redness at the injection site...

I have been on 2 mg of Ozempic for a couple years due to really high glucose levels. I went from a starting A1C of almost 10 to something much more manageable. Also lost a good amount of weight! Part of it was my medication and part of it was my insulin production.
