I mostly shop at thrift stores. It still feels like a rush to wear a medium when i was once a 26/28 (3x).

Honestly my pick is mostly irrational, gut feeling over logic. Been on a low tirz dose (1 to 1.5) since last December. Hitting a plateau, I somehow chose to slowly add reta instead of upping tirz, and that helped. Some weeks no tirz at all. Today: 2mg tirz plus 2.5mg reta, the last of the vial...

Yes, that very first injection had me waking up sick the next morning, dry heaving for a solid half hour, bad enough that my stomach ached clear through the evening. It's eased up quite a bit since then, genuinely more bearable now, but still rough, especially right after a dose. Five shots in...

Always found it wild that some people didn't have food constantly occupying their thoughts. I was perpetually fixated on when my next meal would be. These days food crosses my mind occasionally, but it's genuinely strange because my headspace is filled with other stuff now. Honestly believe I...

Ran Wegovy and hit my target weight, but dealing with the side effects turned genuinely brutal. Bad enough that I had to quit after nearly a full year. Kept pushing through because people kept saying it gets better, but it honestly never did. Now four months into Zepbound and genuinely zero side...

People downvoting us over this?! Seriously, do you all think everyone's got insurance covering this medication? There's real people out there scrambling to afford this just to stay alive. Downvote away, honestly could not care less.

Seriously, the number of people unwilling or unable to tell a spouse about taking a medication carrying real potential side effects is genuinely wild. Not a healthy dynamic in my opinion.

What was your weekly average like? Were you counting calories the whole time? Just curious, thanks!

Your pharmacy should be able to supply the needles directly. Mine are covered through insurance, though a box of a hundred runs about ten dollars otherwise.

What combinations has anyone tried alongside this particular compound to amplify weight loss results?

Sitting at 5mg, lost twenty kilos so far. What I save on alcohol alone basically covers the Mounjaro cost. Drinking maybe 15% of what I used to, twice a week now instead of daily.

Personally eating noticeably less overall, though quality has gone up too. Higher quality options generally run pricier, so it basically evens out financially.

I'm with an online provider but have the script sent over for pickup at my neighborhood pharmacy. Comes out to about $117 for brand name ozempic versus $150 going through them directly. Big box pharmacies can run under $100 if there's one nearby.

Knew this crowd would get it! Yesterday was the first time I'd gone in six days. Had to double up on fiber gummies for about three days straight. My doctor suggested Miralax, so that's going on the shopping list next trip.

Getting into working out as a result of the weight loss rather than the other way around is such a common and underappreciated outcome. The OP at 59 lbs down and almost at goal is in the window where the motivation compounds. The workout piece sticking rather than just the weight loss is the...
