Started back in August of last year. Only bumped the dose whenever suppression faded. Reached 10mg and it's held steady for over a year now without needing to go higher. Roughly 20 pounds left before goal. Probably sticking with Mounjaro long term, costs nothing out of pocket since the...

On my third week now, so just speaking from my own limited experience here. Starting a workout routine can feel rough if you're not used to it, so ease in gradually and prioritize hitting your daily steps. Any movement beats none at all. Been keeping that mindset myself.

Then there might even be a backup option available if a switch becomes necessary down the line should progress stall. That said, the current combo should cover things fine, assuming that ever becomes relevant at all.

Just three weeks deep, so your system's still settling in. Plenty of folks say they get pulled toward pop or sugary stuff right before the week wraps up.

Seems fairly interesting when combined with testosterone therapy, curious if anyone's actually tried this combo before. Potential side effects sound somewhat concerning though.

Pretty sure I'm in that same boat, just hit month three and have been stalled since month two, probably need to add more movement into the mix.

Running fairly high doses of this medication class, and even three hours post-meal there's still that lingering full stomach feeling, or so it seems. Trying to avoid spiking insulin or dampening natural hormone release, so mornings work best for now.

Not even at an actual therapeutic dose yet honestly. Easing in is the whole point of the process. Give it time, what's happening here sounds completely normal, this exact scenario shows up constantly among folks who eventually dropped 100 pounds.

Going to look into beta blockers, appreciate the suggestion and info! Was on an antidepressant as a teen and missing even one day made me feel awful, so I get exactly what you mean. Steering clear of ssris this time around.

Please talk to your medical team about this as soon as you can. They might end up supporting the idea of you starting a GLP-1 down the line, but what you're currently doing sounds genuinely unhealthy.

Tracking and maintaining a routine before optimizing the content of the routine is the right sequence. The OP noticing how much better exercise feels on these meds is exactly the opening for building that structure. Calorie deficit too aggressive for too long is the other thing that shows up -...

the alcohol craving going to zero is one of the most reported secondary effects and probably the least expected - nobody starting for weight reasons thinks they're also going to stop wanting to drink, and then it just quietly happens. a lot of people only notice it when they're in a social...

29g at 1 inch is the standard sweet spot for most IM injection sites - thin enough to minimize resistance and discomfort, long enough to reliably reach muscle tissue. The 30g and 31g comparison for subQ is worth doing separately to find your preference for that use case.

15 kg in 9 months feeling disheartening compared to the OP's result is the comparison problem these posts create. 15 kg is real loss and 9 months is not a long timeline at all. The OP at 330 had a very different starting point which drives a very different rate. What dose are you currently on...

195 at 5'7 still in the obesity zone technically and getting 'too thin' comments from people who care about you - that's the disconnect between how weight reads visually versus what the charts say. The OP at 45 lbs down getting the same comments is that phenomenon. People's frame of reference...
