Reta hit me with skin sensitivity after the first month, honestly like a mild sunburn feeling but not painful - just irritating and constant. Then it faded completely after a few months, which was weird. The half milligram dose might help you dodge it, but everyone's different. Worth knowing...

Muscles build when they're actually used. Lifting builds them, lack of use kills them. I've lost over 50 pounds and lost a ton of muscle because I haven't been lifting—been carrying that weight every day meant I was stronger. Now I'm lighter and weaker. Makes sense but it's frustrating.

69, on meds for blood pressure & diabetes. Did Mounjaro for 5 months—dropped 30 lbs, fasting sugar went from 132 to 90, BP down to 110/75. Combined it with intermittent fasting, cut carbs, more protein, exercise (walking, planks, hand weights). Biggest issue has been constipation.

Lost about 20kg and most was fat because I kept lifting heavy and ate protein. Already on vitamin D before Mounjaro. Four small meals daily, high protein after gym. Training's tough but caffeine and gels save me.

started at 272, did 1800 cal really careful diet with lots of protein, dairy, veggies, fruit. lost about 47 over seven months. for your stats i'd start around 2200 and focus on real food. slower loss is healthier.

my chart right there. 2mg mots-c three times a week and 12.5mg tirz once a week. mountain biking four to seven days plus crossfit five days a week.

I love seeing long-term success stories! It's so encouraging. I found this post on Reddit from someone celebrating being at their goal weight after almost two years: It's inspiring to remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint!

Amazing effort. Well done.

You can still use the 4mm filters. Just go slowly and filter what you need. Don't force it through. You'll be okay! 🙂

I use a 13mm filter. I've seen that 4mm is for up to 1ml of fluid, and 13mm is for 1-10ml. Don't forget to account for the holdback volume. 0.07ml with a 4mm and 0.28ml with a 13mm. Adjust your BAC water accordingly or add a tiny bit extra. If you get a tray to filter on, stainless steel is...

This is so inspiring, congrats! I remember how much these kinds of posts helped me early in my own journey, so thank you for sharing. Those old pictures can bring up some...intense feelings, can't they? I totally get keeping it for motivation.

That's amazing! I've been noticing a big difference in how my clothes fit, too. It's not just the scale, it's the overall change.

CONGRATS!!!! I hope I can join you soon :)

It took me about a year and a half of hovering around 200-205 to finally dip below. I know the feeling! Congrats!

Wow, that is really inspirational! Did you have any issues with side effects along the way?
