If the stall is recent and you're near goal, finishing the tirz first is the lower-risk call - reta's wash-in time is 3-4 weeks regardless, so switching now doesn't buy speed.

Monthly spacing works for maintenance - dose level determines what you can tolerate.

Having a supportive care team through this makes a real difference. Down 40 and feeling better in your body is exactly where you want to be at this stage.

I am working with a doctor, yes. We check my bloods every month.

Thanks guys for all the support! It really makes a difference to hear it.

I almost didn't share this because I'm nervous, but here is my actual weight loss journey using GLP-1 meds. I've been taking them for about 4 months now and the results are unreal.

My primary care physician. I've had Type 2 Diabetes for 2 years. I have health insurance. It's decent insurance for how expensive it is. Got the prescription at the start of January. My pharmacy showed it was pending insurance approval. I kinda forgot about it. At a checkup last week, my PCP...

Thanks BusyCookie. I'm kinda new to this. I will be sure to read food labels better!

I used an online service, because it was way cheaper than going through my regular insurance.

That's actually really good progress. Everyone expects huge changes right away, but a consistent loss over time is what lasts. I'm using some other service and I'm seeing similar results.

True, true. I usually just snack on shot days. I made the mistake of getting fast food with the kids. Tummy aches and all sorts of issues for 48 hours. A few antacids, a soda, and fetal position therapy for hours to burp and fart it all away, lol.

So, I've been increasing my dose like the doc said. Took my shot Friday morn after breaky -- week 3 at this dose. Saturday felt great, then I shared brunch with a pal at this vegan place. We devoured 4 pastries - super sugary, oily, and fatty. Zero appetite after, just a light snack for lunch...

Wishing you the best in achieving your goals!

Yes, my headaches are mostly gone since I started a GLP-1 med. They were almost daily before this.

I hit my goal weight and I'm so excited!
