Shotsy helps with the overlap when running two compounds with different half-lives - the combined curve estimate is the useful part. Conservative doses on both starting out is the standard approach; appetite response tells you where to adjust from there.

The etekcity versus dexa gap matters less than tracking the same instrument consistently - the trend line is what counts, not the absolute. Photos catch what no scale does anyway, and that monthly series is the most honest record for body composition changes.

Etsy rubber caps are the go-to for multi-vial setups. Worth getting both sizes - the BAC and reconstituted vials usually need different neck diameters.

standard dosing schedule is 2.5 for 4 weeks, 5 for 4, 7.5 for 4, 10 for 4, 12.5 for 4, then 15 until goal. some people respond fast and stay low. i never went above 10 until the last 10 pounds, then 15 for a month. took 18 months total to drop 90.

Don't get discouraged! Everyone's body reacts differently. Some people lose weight quickly right off the bat, while others see results gradually. It's a marathon, not a sprint!

Congrats, man. Truly inspiring.

On tirzepatide since around July 2025, started above 15 mg pretty fast, up to about 33 mg weekly now. Also taking cagrill ranging 5-20 mg. Yeah, excessive, that's kind of my thing. Thinking about adding an extra 12.5 brand name to go with my compounded. Hovering around 225 for a couple months...

Fantastic, you're looking fab 👏👏👏👏

The real lesson I learned is not to let weeks and months go by without checking in on yourself. That's where the real damage sneaks in. Even if you overeat one day or make poor choices, you can barely gain 3-4 pounds in two weeks of real fat. The danger is avoiding the scale for three months...

I just can't do breakfast. At 0.5mg I lose all appetite - no food noise, barely hungry. I can eat fine later but mornings? Just nauseous thinking about food. School schedule means I sometimes eat lunch at 1 or 2 PM. Need high-protein snacks I can prep and bring.

Here's a cool [URL='https://www.another forum that talks about how GLP-1s can help with more than just weight loss. It mentions heart health, kidney function, and even mental health. Makes me feel even better about being on Mounjaro!

Congrats, OP! I'm also 5'1", currently at 53 kg, but I still have some belly fat. I'd prefer to lose a few more kg to reach 50 kg; that might make me feel better. But losing weight has become much harder in the last few months—barely 1 kg per month.

I'm one month into Mounjaro, so I'm not sure how effective this will be yet, but I've been playing fitness games on my Switch. Ring Fit Adventure is fun; the story mode keeps me going. Because I started with RFA, I bought Fitness Boxing, and I switch between them (Sundays off). They're not...

That's an amazing transformation. Congrats!

Good to know, thanks QuirkyKing
