I had similar issues with the higher dose. Doing 0.25 twice weekly has been way better for me too - less rough side effects and still losing steadily. You'll probably want extra needles from Amazon if you go this route, just so you have them on hand.

lost all my weight eating high carb, low fat - lots of volume that way. feeling fuller sooner combined with the appetite suppression did the trick. just get your protein in. don't beat yourself up - once it clicks and the food noise drops, you'll get there. some people respond faster, some slower.

I saw something about that, a new pill being approved. It'll be interesting to see how it changes things. I'm not a huge fan of needles.

Agreed! I'm actually kinda shocked something like this isn't already widely available.

Totally okay. I've had to adjust by a day a few times over the past three years.

Fantastic progress!

I'd definitely buy the 4-pen version; it's an improvement over what I have now. But honestly, I'd REALLY love a case with a specific spot for a Govee Bluetooth temp sensor. I use one to check the temp when I'm traveling. I can't fit one in my current case with the pens, so it just rolls around...

Hey, don't knock Wednesdays! That's my injection day. I love my mid-week routine! 🤣

The side effects tend to get easier over time. I'd suggest sticking with this dose since it's clearly working for you. Plus, as another diabetic, this medication isn't really meant to be spaced out like that on a regular basis. Forgetting a dose once in a while is one thing, but I'd be worried...

I agree with HawkLog. It's like a mental fog lifted or something. I feel more present.

Yep. 🙌

lol! Thank god it only scratched them and didn't end up going into the muscle!

Remember that the gauge number indicates thickness; a 25G needle is actually thicker than a 31g needle.

Wooo congrats! You were gorgeous before too, I'm envious!

Okay, but seriously... you look utterly fantastic in both sets of photos. Just wow!
