I like keeping both in the mix because the appetite thing is real - reta alone leaves me hungry but tirz handles that part. Balancing them out has been solid so far, no major side effects and things seem to be working.

online regulation lags reality. canada seized stocks, us labs got shut down. 'free internet' doesn't guarantee free market for everything even if we want it. complicated mess.

Something I didn't expect was how much my appetite changed! Used to love spicy food and carbonated drinks, but they don't sit well with me anymore. Anyone else experience this?

I'm not OP, but I recommend tracking EVERYTHING. What you eat, how you feel, side effects. It really helps you dial in what works for you.

That's awesome! How are you feeling so far?

Thanks all, I appreciate it! This has been a long road but so worth it. I feel so much better!

Huge congrats!

Did you mean 0.25 mg? Anyway, congrats and best of luck!

Don't forget to rotate where you inject! One person mentioned they go top center of the stomach, a little to the left, center left, and so on. I was stalled for a couple weeks but then went from the normal dosage down to a little less. Got back on track that way. Doing great!

Hey everyone, it's important to keep expectations in check. Results can vary. 2.5mg isn't really meant to do much on its own, and it takes time to build up in your system. The first weight you lose is usually water from inflammation. Some people have a lot of inflammation and will seem to lose...

I would suggest talking to a dietitian if your insurance covers it. They can help you maintain your weight without feeling too restricted. Don't get too hung up on your BMI as it's not always accurate. It doesn't consider muscle mass or fat distribution.

Keep up the great work!
