25kg at 5mg over a year is the argument for minimum effective dose right there. If it is working, escalating is optional.

Onederland is one of the milestones that actually feels different when you cross it. The 100s have a different weight than any specific number - probably because you spent so long on the other side. The day you hit it tends to be one most people remember exactly.

COA availability without having to ask should be the baseline. Vendors who make you chase it are either disorganized or hiding something. Worth factoring that in against the price.

To MicrodoseMami: Some say they feel a difference depending on the injection spot, others don't. Some people find it suppresses their hunger more in the stomach, or have a 'smoother' week in the thigh. The key is rotating sites. I've started keeping track because I can't remember where I...

Just wanted to chime in and say that even a pound or two lost a week is still progress. Don't get discouraged if you aren't losing as quickly as others. It's not a race, and slow and steady is often healthier for your body!

You're doing fantastic! Seriously, well done. I'm not sure where you'll find another 30+ lbs, you look great already!

That's great news for you guys up there! The more affordable options, the better. Hopefully, it will also push down the brand-name prices.

I'm really hoping to avoid being on this medication for life. I'm working on changing my mindset around food and exercise. It's encouraging to see that some people can maintain their weight loss after stopping.

Have you considered focusing on body composition instead of just the scale during Ramadan? Maybe track measurements or how your clothes fit, since weight can fluctuate with fasting and hydration. It might be a more motivating way to see progress without fixating on the number.

That's an insane amount of money! Ozempic's about £175 a month privately here in the UK. I get mine free on the NHS since it's for Type 2 diabetes.

I believe Janoshik Analytical is a popular choice for independent peptide testing.

Some of the rapid weight losses I've seen posted online have been surprising, as I'm losing less than a pound per week. I'm glad I decided to weigh myself weekly to manage my expectations. With minimal side effects on 2.5mg (my second 5mg dose has been a bit different), I've been able to adjust...

I'm slowly lowering my dose (I was at .5mg) to see where I can stay at the same weight.

It's ridiculous what you guys in the States have to pay. Here in Australia, I pay about 250 dollarydoos a month for a private Wegovy script, and 150 for Ozempic. On the PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme), Ozempic's only 7 dollarydoos for diabetics.

If UV kills bacteria, it's likely to also damage the peptides themselves.
