Something I keep noticing with friends who look like they're wasting away, and it isn't negligence, they just were never told. Going on these meds without changing how you eat is risky. You eat less, so you get less of whatever added the weight, but also less protein, and protein is what holds...

Didn't catch when exactly you got back on reta. Under a month back and you're still climbing the titration curve. That opening 8mg dose following a long pause only lifts your system to about 8mg. Once a full month at that weekly amount passes, the same injection ends up carrying your body closer...

193 to 138 in six months is a 55-pound run. That's a real result. 'Gotten smaller everywhere' is exactly what 55 pounds of loss looks like when you're in it.

5-day interval works for many people - the half-life supports it. Some split the weekly dose into two smaller shots for a smoother trough. What you're describing is a standard variation, not an unusual one.

The junk food aversion is one of the most welcome side effects. The palate shift on Reta is real.

That brain quiet thing is absolutely real. I used to replay conversations all night, picking apart what I said to teachers and whatever. Exhausting. Then month 2 hit and it just... stopped. Didn't even notice for a few days. The joint stiffness got better way before I lost enough weight for it...

Got two vials but haven't used them yet—following the advice to experiment later. Try to find distilled water for mixing to avoid gelling. I went with one option plus something else, loading that for three weeks then switching to another for 2-4 weeks while keeping the first. Really happy with...

i was doing one dose weekly from 1 to 3mg. at 4 i split it friday 2mg and tuesday 2mg. just started this week so no data yet. but single friday dose made me binge hungry end of wed/thurs. maybe split helps.

Where are you guys sourcing your bac water? I'm having a hard time finding a reliable vendor. The links I saw in a video on splitting doses are all out of stock now.

Good explanation, GingerTeaTox. I always thought less was more, but I see your point now. Thanks!

The numbers add up for me.

Good heavens! Fantastic job, you look incredible. I'm happily married, but you look... wow!

Spectacular!

I've been having crazy vivid dreams since starting Mounjaro. Is anyone else experiencing that?

I hear you on the sweets thing, Bear_Ready. I've been doing frozen fruit pops. Pineapple/cherry or mango. Like 60 calories each. Or the Popsicle brand, those are only like 15 calories.
