Same here!! Day 2 and I ate breakfast like normal, then zero cravings afterward, no food noise at all. Really curious how it goes, this could change my life.

Appreciate that, good to know I'm not alone in this. Wasn't ready to give up on Reta before trying a workaround on the dosing first. Went back to splitting it, 1.5mg then 1.0mg, and the effects do seem to be settling down some. Been running tired lately too, like my sleep's perpetually behind.

Same height as you, 36F, started around 200 pounds back in late May. First couple weeks were rough with nausea, but anti-nausea meds from my doctor helped a ton. Down to roughly 168 now. Biggest downside honestly has been the hair loss. Currently at 1mg weekly and planning to hold there for a...

INCREASE YOUR DOSE! I dislike posts saying it's not working, hunger is back, what now, even though every one of those people had quit raising the medication. For me 7.5mg was weaker than 5mg, it still cut the food noise but far less; at 10mg it improved, after a month I moved to 12.5, and a...

Ten pounds to go here, haven't touched sema or tirz in years at this point. Weight's been frozen at this exact number for almost twelve months. Curious if the switch is worth trying, or if I should just push the dose I'm already on higher instead? Reta's got a reputation for being strong, though...

Started right around the same point you did. Also moved up to 0.5mg this past Thursday. * What's your typical diet looking like? What you eat really shapes how strongly Ozempic's appetite reduction actually kicks in * Refined carbs specifically dull some of that appetite effect, since those...

Hi everyone!! Running the original compound for beyond twelve months at this point, sitting at a fairly high amount for a while. Currently transitioning over to a different one. About a month in, and honestly nothing's registered yet. Right now I'm at 2mg of the new compound weekly plus 7.5mg of...

Thank you, it's been genuinely frustrating over the years, been through boot camps, private trainers, and even then the scale sometimes wouldn't budge to match the effort. Wasn't expecting much starting this either, but now I'm actually getting excited, like I can finally see this newer version...

Had really solid results running one growth-hormone peptide. Someone online suggested skipping straight to actual growth hormone instead, but that first peptide worked well for me. Just switched over to a different releasing peptide, and the one thing I've noticed is better sleep on this newer...

Comes up a lot more than folks would expect with GLP-1 agonists. Appetite suppression can spill into unrelated brain-reward circuits tied to dopamine. That autopilot feeling you're describing is textbook. The ED piece though, especially given you're already on testosterone therapy, that's worth...

4.4 A1C at low-normal with the full metabolic profile change is the version of the result that makes the anti-med framing indefensible. The OP's thread about stalling as a noob is the other side - early enough that the metabolic numbers haven't done what yours have yet. What does the stall...

The first few months are the hardest mentally. Powering through those early sides shows real commitment. You should be proud of sticking with it.

Nice work documenting. That info helps guide decisions. My DEXA scan is coming up in a few weeks and I'll share my complete record with all the tracked stuff and the fluctuations.

Was on 1 mg of semaglutide years not dropping but holding. Started tirzepatide lowest 4 weeks back thought I needed bumping to 5. Actually gained on both. Need guidance on what dose and stack might work? Got 25-30 to go any thoughts?

Sixty pounds over 22 months is solid work. Even if things have plateaued, you're off the CPAP and feeling so much better. Keep going.
