NA Semax is worth testing for duration - the modified version holds the effect window noticeably longer for most people, though individual response varies enough that starting with a small quantity makes sense before committing.

BPC-157 is the common first stack on Reta for joint and gut recovery - it doesn't interfere with the GLP-1 mechanism and most people run it alongside without issue.

Definitely take pics! I know its hard but you have to! I was embarrassed at first, but so glad I have them now!

Thanks so much!

It's wild, you know? I ditched taking regular pics months ago, but I'm down a solid 88 pounds. I finally looked at my before pics and was floored. I didn't realize I was carrying that much extra weight! For ages, I felt like nothing was changing, even though my clothes were getting looser...

The fibre-first approach is the right call for GLP-1 constipation - the slowed gastric transit makes the stacking effect of bran, beans, and kiwi more effective than any single source. 80 lbs down from 330 at a steady pace is what the full protocol looks like when the basics are handled.

I can't wait to get below 200. I've been over that number for years. I saw someone on another forum say they cried when they finally saw 199 on the scale after dropping 94 pounds!

That's fantastic! So happy for you!

That's really good advice, Drew_19! I'm definitely considering skin removal and will keep that in mind. It's daunting!

Happy New YOU to everyone!

Happy New Year, everyone! Feeling so grateful as I begin 2025. Started my journey on the medication back in Feb '24 weighing around 295. Today? I'm hovering around 155, finally at a healthy BMI after decades. Officially starting maintenance! Seeing my doctor next week to figure out the details...

I'm curious, for those of you who have had dramatic face changes like Ratched77 mentioned, how long did it take to really see a difference?

Wowzers. That's a huge transformation. Congrats!

Oh okay, so it's a general weight loss side effect. It's risky no matter how you lose weight.

I heard that gallstones are common for "fair, fat, and forty" women. Is that true?
