Posting a before and after takes courage - and the difference is real. You did that.

When it clicks like this it really is life-changing. Happy for you.

Mood swings are real and often underreported on GLP-1s. Early days post-injection seem to be when it's most noticeable for most people. Delayed gastric emptying can affect how other medications absorb, which matters if you're on antidepressants. For Reta specifically, the effect hits harder in...

Has anyone noticed a difference injecting in the leg versus the stomach?

I waited until I got to my goal. I mostly wore dresses and skirts in the meantime. I am a size 27-28 now and enjoying the choices!

I like making a big batch of chia pudding with greek yogurt and berries. It's good for breakfast or a snack! It keeps me full for a while, too.

Aw, thanks! Sorry to hear your pain hasn't improved. That sucks. I'm sure everyone's different, though. What dose are you on?

Go treat yourself to something that looks good on you *now*! You've earned it, and it's a great way to stay motivated.

Hey, what are your thoughts on combining fasting and GLP-1s for weight loss? I'm thinking specifically of a 36-hour fast followed by a 12-hour eating window?

OMG, Mounjaro has been unreal for me, and it's only been like, 14 weeks: Weight: I've dropped 20 pounds after being stuck on a super strict keto diet for YEARS. Like, no fruit, no bread, no fun. Everyone else in my fam is skinny and I'm cursed with a slow burn. This stuff actually jumpstarted...

Good to know!! Sema messed me up *bad*. Reta's sounding better all the time.

How much did you use and how did you prep it? You're keeping the Reta cool, right? I'm no expert on Reta, but that red spot sounds pretty typical for these types of meds. Around 5-15% of people see some redness, swelling, or itching near the injection. Usually it’s just a little immune response...

I hear you L_M_B_Life - days 6 and 7 are rough. It takes a lot of willpower to not go overboard.

You created an account on a forum about GLP-1 meds just to say *that*?
